FAQs

A settle is a wooden bench with a high back, solid arms, and often a storage box beneath the seat, historically used in British public houses and farmhouses to block drafts from doors.

Traditional settles were constructed from native British timbers such as oak, elm, pine, and ash, depending on the region and local availability.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed surfaces, natural timber shrinkage, and historic wear consistent with age.

A settle serves as practical hallway or kitchen seating, often softened with neutral linen cushions or vintage textiles to contrast against the dark timber.

Preservation involves dusting with a dry cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the timber, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture fluctuations.
