FAQs

Settles originated as high-backed wooden benches with solid seats and arms, designed in medieval and 18th-century homes to block draughts from stone floors and direct heat from firesides.

Authentic period settles are constructed from solid English oak, frequently utilising traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, pegged frames, and hand-panelled backrests.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, hand-cut peg joints, timber shrinkage, natural patination, and period-appropriate construction methods rather than modern fixings.

An antique settle provides architectural anchor points in contemporary hallways, kitchens, or living spaces, pairing well with neutral walls and textured wool or linen cushions.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber surface.
