FAQs

Monks benches and settles date back to medieval times, originally designed as draught-excluding seats for halls and later adapted as convertible tables with box storage in the base.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn English or European oak, featuring traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved panels, and pegged construction.

Authenticity is identified through timber oxidation, hand-tool marks behind carvings, hand-cut joinery, wear consistent with age, and the dense grain characteristics of mature oak.

A traditional settle functions effectively in hallways or living spaces against neutral walls, paired with minimalist textiles to balance the heavy timber and ornate carvings.

Preserve antique oak by maintaining stable room humidity, avoiding direct sunlight, and treating the timber periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood without sealing it.
