FAQs

A settle is a traditional wooden bench with high backs and arms, originating in medieval times. Originally designed to protect inhabitants from cold drafts in uninsulated rooms, settles evolved to incorporate hinged seats for hidden storage.

Traditional settles are predominantly constructed from solid hardwood such as oak, elm, or pine. They frequently feature mortise and tenon joinery, panelled backs, and hand-carved decorative motifs reflecting the period of manufacture.

Authenticity is identified through construction hallmarks such as hand-cut joints, traditional hand-carving, timber shrinkage, and natural oxidisation or patina consistent with age. Machine-cut elements and modern adhesives typically indicate a reproduction.

An antique oak settle serves as a practical statement piece in entryways, hallways, or spacious kitchens. It can be paired with neutral textiles or textured cushions to soften the rigid timber structure and balance traditional and contemporary elements.

Maintain antique oak by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting. Periodically apply a quality beeswax polish to nourish the wood and preserve the natural finish.
