Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

A box settle is a long wooden bench equipped with an enclosed chest base beneath a hinged seat. Developed across rural Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, it provided essential seating alongside practical storage for linens, tools, or household goods in farmhouse kitchens and entryways.

Traditional box settles were primarily constructed from durable softwoods like pine or hardwoods like oak, utilizing pegged mortise and tenon joinery. Many Eastern European examples were finished with hand-applied oil or milk paints to protect the timber and add colour to domestic interiors.

Authentic 19th-century settles show signs of historical wear, hand-planed timber surfaces, and natural paint distress near high-touch areas like the armrests and seat. Look for hand-carved dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joints, period-appropriate iron hinges, and natural wood oxidation on untreated interior surfaces.

A painted pine bench serves as an ideal anchor in a modern hallway, boot room, or dining space. Pair it with neutral stone flooring, woven natural baskets, or contemporary artwork to create a balanced contrast between historic textures and clean design lines.

Maintain painted pine furniture by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excess moisture, which can degrade original paint finishes, and apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly to raw wood areas to preserve the timber.
