The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A barrel backed settle is a traditional wooden bench featuring a tall, curved back designed to shield sitters from cold draughts in historical homes. Typically constructed from local timber such as pine or oak, these pieces were prominently placed near hearths in country cottages and public houses during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Georgian settles were commonly constructed from solid pine or oak using hand-planed vertical tongue-and-groove boards for the back structure. Joinery techniques involved pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-cut nails, and simple timber bases to ensure durability against daily use.

Authentic early nineteenth-century pine settles exhibit hand-moulded edges, hand-sawn timber marks on unexposed rear surfaces, and original square-headed nails or wooden pegs. Look for natural wear patterns on the seat edge and lower base consistent with historic use, alongside minor shrink gaps between the vertical timber planks.

A tall pine settle functions effectively in a hallway, entryway, or boot room as practical seating and an architectural feature. Pairing the timber bench with neutral linen cushions or placing it against a painted wall creates texture without overwhelming a contemporary aesthetic.

Maintain historic pine furniture by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber. Avoid placing the piece directly adjacent to active heat sources or in areas of extreme humidity, which can cause the solid pine planks to warp.
