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 settle is a wooden bench with a high back and solid arms, constructed primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed for domestic interiors, the high back functioned to block cold drafts near fireplaces.

Traditional settles were predominantly crafted from solid native hardwoods such as oak. Construction typically involved hand-planed fielded panels, mortise and tenon joinery, and wooden peg fixings rather than modern metal fasteners.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-saw marks, irregular peg placement, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Oxidisation near iron hardware or joints and deep uneven patination are key indicators of genuine age.

An oak settle works well in entryways, boot rooms, or open-plan dining spaces as structural seating. Pair the dark timber with neutral walls, woven linen cushions, or slate floor tiles to balance its visual weight.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber warping or cracking.
