FAQs

A monks bench, also known as a table chair or settle, dates back to medieval times when space efficiency was paramount in homes. The pivoting or tilting back allowed the seating unit to convert into a table surface when needed.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid English oak using traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints, dowels, and hand-planed panels, often featuring integrated box storage beneath the seat.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, hand-forged iron or traditional wooden fixings, and natural patina that indicates age and honest wear rather than modern manufacturing.

This versatile piece serves well as a functional hallway seat with concealed storage or positioned against a living room wall, pairing effectively with both rustic and transitional interior schemes.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking. Apply natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood and preserve the historic finish.
