FAQs

A ladderback settee is a wooden seat constructed for two or more people, featuring a backrest composed of multiple horizontal slats reminiscent of a ladder, a design style popularised during the eighteenth century.

These seating pieces were traditionally crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, turned legs, and stretchers for structural stability.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved wavy or pierced horizontal back slats, peg construction, original patination on the timber, and hand-turned stretchers connecting the legs.

A ladderback settee serves as functional focal seating in an entryway, hallway, or along a wide gallery, paired with neutral textiles to highlight the dark carved timber silhouette.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish periodically, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or fading.
