Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This early 18th century Welsh vernacular tavern bench originates from the 18th century, constructed from timber with a pale grey painted finish. The rustic farmhouse piece displays a high triple panel backrest with recessed rectangular panels, curved armrests, and an arrangement of lower stretchers connecting the legs. The weathered surface shows a faded and worn paint finish with visible signs of age across the wooden framework. Measuring 113 cm high, 173 cm wide, and 56 cm deep, the bench stands on straightforward upright supports. Suitable for use in a hallway, kitchen, or dining area, the seating provides practical utility while contributing a traditional aesthetic to an interior. The substantial bench accommodates multiple sitters along its long seat platform and low-slung base framing. The understated design complements both period properties and country-style living spaces.

FAQs

A settle is a high-backed wooden bench designed to provide draught-proof seating near hearths in early public houses and domestic interiors.

Regional makers utilised local timbers such as oak, elm, and softwoods like pine, frequently applying milk paint or mineral-based finishes for protection.

Authentic period pieces display hand-planed timber surfaces, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, historical paint layers, and honest wear around the stretchers and armrests.

Positioned within an entryway or alongside a dining table, a high-backed settle introduces architectural structure and tactile historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Maintain a stable humidity level away from central heating radiators, dust gently with a clean dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid solvents that break down original paint layers.
