Antique Large Georgian Oak Settle | Fielded Panels

18th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique late 18th / early 19th century Georgian settle in oak, a large and imposing piece of country furniture of good quality, showcasing fine traditional craftsmanship and honest, timeworn character.

The tall back is formed of five raised and fielded panels within a pegged frame, beneath a moulded top rail, and the generous boarded seat comfortably seats three or four people.

It has shaped open arms with scrolled hand rests on square supports, and stands on square tapering legs, the front legs ending in neat pad feet, with traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints throughout.

The oak displays a lovely figured grain with medullary ray flashes to the panels, and a deep, rich colour with a wonderful mellow patina built up over many years.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age, with the natural splits, marks and wear expected of a country piece of this age. A very desirable Georgian oak settle, a perfect addition to any hallway, kitchen, dining room or boot room.

Product Reference : AF - 6897

Measurements : 184cm (72½") Width x 57cm (22½") Depth x 105.5cm (41½") Height

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Pegged mortise and tenon joints: traditional early timber framing.
Five raised and fielded back panels: country joinery before 1830.
Hand rests worn smooth on the curves: long handling over generations.
Rough-hewn boards across the back: hand tools rather than power sawing.
Front tapering legs with pad feet: regional styling from the Georgian era.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

A Georgian oak settle is a high-backed wooden bench, frequently built with fielded or raised panels, crafted in 18th-century Britain to provide seating and screen occupants from draughts in hallways and living rooms.

These settles were predominantly made from solid English oak using joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, wooden pegs, and hand-planed fielded panels across the back structure.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved fielded panel construction, visible wooden pegging, historical wear on the armrests and feet, and an aged patina on the original timber surfaces.

Position the settle in a hallway, entryway, or open dining space, balancing the dark oak framework with contemporary textured linen or wool cushions.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
