FAQs

An antique Georgian oak settle is a wooden bench featuring a high back, solid timber frame, and shaped fielded panels, popular in 18th-century English homes to protect sitters from cold draughts.

These settles were constructed from native English oak using mortise and tenon joinery, featuring hand-planed panels, turned front legs, and shaped wooden aprons.

Authentic 18th-century settles display signs of historical wear, such as hand-cut wooden peg joinery, natural patination across the oak timber, and hand-worked back panel moulding.

An oak settle can be positioned in a hallway, boot room, or dining space accompanied by neutral linen upholstery and modern paint finishes to contrast timber tones.

Preserve the oak surface by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, dusting with a soft cloth, and applying beeswax polish periodically.
