FAQs

Monks benches, often referred to as settle tables, trace their origins to medieval and Jacobean periods in England, designed as multifunctional furniture for multi-use living spaces.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid domestic hardwoods, most commonly English oak, utilising traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood grain, tool marks, patination, and the construction methods used in the pegged joints, box compartment, and swivel mechanisms.

Such pieces function well as statement entryway seating or hallway storage units, pairing effectively with neutral walls to highlight the deep wood tones and historical craftsmanship.

Maintenance involves dusting with a soft dry cloth and periodically applying beeswax to nourish the timber, whilst avoiding placement near direct heat sources or moisture.
