FAQs

A settle is a wooden bench with high backs and arms, traditionally used in hallways and kitchens of historic homes to block cold drafts from doorways.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid domestic timber such as oak or elm, utilising traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon joints and wooden pegs.

Authentication involves examining timber grain, hand-cut joinery marks, surface patination, and natural wear patterns consistent with age rather than manufactured distress.

Positioning the piece against a large hallway wall or within a spacious kitchen creates a functional focal point that anchors modern minimalist or rustic decor schemes.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and avoid direct sunlight exposure, occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the wood without sealing the grain.
