FAQs

A settle is a traditional form of wooden bench with a high back, solid arms, and often a storage base, designed historically to block draughts in cold medieval and early modern halls.

Authentic period settles were predominantly constructed from native hardwoods such as solid oak, elm, or ash, joined using traditional mortice and tenon construction with wooden pegs.

Authentication involves examining the timber for hand-planed tool marks, uneven plank widths, period-appropriate joinery like pegged joints, and natural patination and wear consistent with age.

An antique settle works effectively as a statement piece in a hallway or kitchen diner, softened with textured cushions, throws, or upholstered squab pads to balance its heavy wooden structure.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a dry, soft cloth and occasional treatment with natural beeswax to nourish the wood, avoiding modern silicone-based polishes or direct exposure to heat sources.
