FAQs

Settle benches originated in medieval Britain as high-backed wooden seats designed to protect occupants from draughts in poorly insulated halls.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak, elm, and pine, often utilizing traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved detailing, tool marks consistent with period craftsmanship, natural timber ageing, and hand-cut joinery rather than modern fasteners.

A historical settle can be contrasted against neutral plastered walls or placed in an entryway, softened with plain linen cushions to balance its heavy wooden presence.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber without sealing it.
