FAQs

Settles originated in medieval times as high-backed wooden benches with solid seats and arms, designed to protect occupants from drafts in unheated rooms. They evolved through the centuries, becoming standard seating in farmhouses, cottages, and public houses across Britain.

Traditional settles were constructed using native British timbers such as pine, elm, and oak. Construction typically involved pegged mortise and tenon joints, fielded panels for the backrest, and solid plank seats often shaped from a single slab of timber.

Authentic period settles exhibit hand-planed surfaces, traditional joinery like trunnels or wooden pegs, and natural patination from centuries of use. Signs of age include irregular tool marks, timber shrinkage, and wear patterns around the footrest and armrests.

A high-backed settle functions effectively in hallways, dining areas, or living spaces against a plain wall to highlight its architectural form. Layering the wooden seat with a patterned textile or cushion softens the rigid lines and integrates it into contemporary schemes.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels and keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking. Periodic application of microcrystalline wax nourishes the wood and protects the historic finish without causing buildup.
