Oak Sleeper Settle

18th century
Description

A wonderful and unusual Inn Keepers sleep settle from the Mid 18th Century. It is not very often you might see this model, we had one similar in the 1970's but not as good condition. Also very fortunate to have a wonderful patina and no splits in the arched panel back. The legs and pad feet show very little wear which is also unusual. A fine and rare piece of furniture. The rope seat has been re-installed and the seat would benefit from a new cushion. One or two worm marks in the rear beam section all fully treated.

Seat Height - 48cm = 19 inches

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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 traditional wooden bench, typically constructed with a high panelled back and solid arms, originating in Europe during the Middle Ages to shelter sitters from draughts.

Historically, settles were crafted from dense hardwoods such as oak or pine, utilising mortise and tenon joinery, field-panelled backrests, and sturdy turned or cabriole legs.

Authentic pieces display hand-planed timber surfaces, wooden dowel joinery rather than modern screws, natural age-related shrinkage along panel joints, and genuine wear across armrests and feet.

Position the bench in a spacious entryway, hallway, or open-plan living area, pairing the dark timber with neutral textiles or contemporary artwork to balance its visual weight.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, apply high-quality beeswax twice yearly to maintain the finish, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
