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 settle bench is a high-backed wooden seat that originated in medieval Europe, designed primarily to protect sitters from cold draughts near hearths and doorways. Historically found in rural cottages, inns, and farmhouses, settles served as both practical seating and architectural space dividers.

Traditional Spanish country settles were constructed from local softwoods or hardwoods such as pine, walnut, or chestnut, held together with mortise and tenon joinery. Frames were typically finished with earth-toned milk paints or tempera pigments, featuring panelled backrests and hand-shaped aprons.

Authentic late nineteenth-century painted settles display uneven wear patterns on the painted surface, particularly along the armrests, seat edges, and lower feet where physical contact naturally occurred over time. Look for hand-planed timber surfaces, traditional joinery methods, and natural age-related shrinkage across the wood panels.

A painted antique settle functions effectively in an entrance hall, boot room, or alongside a long dining table to introduce colour and structural contrast. Pair it with natural stone flooring, neutral linen cushions, or simple wall art to ground the historic timber in a contemporary setting.

Maintain the painted finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or liquid polish that can lift original pigments. Applying a light coat of clear beeswax once a year will nourish exposed wood sections and preserve the aged finish without stripping historic paint layers.
