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.

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.

FAQs

A carved oak settle is a wooden bench featuring a high back, side arms, and frequently a hinged seat that opens to reveal internal storage. Popular from the medieval period through the Victorian Jacobean Revival, these pieces were designed to block cold draughts in hall areas while providing practical storage.

Traditional settles are constructed from solid oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. The back and front sections often feature hand-carved relief panels, turned arm supports, and heavy timber framing built to withstand centuries of use.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand-carving, original pegged joints, uneven timber wear, and genuine surface oxidisation within deep relief areas. Inspecting the interior storage base reveals hand-cut boards, historical iron hinges, and natural wood shrinkage along panel joins.

Place the settle in an entryway or expansive hallway to serve as both functional seating and an architectural focal point. Complement the dark timber tone with neutral linen cushions or soften the high back with a wool throw.

Dust the detailed carved areas regularly with a soft, dry brush. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the oak and maintain its deep lustre, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood splitting.
