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

Originating in medieval Europe, a hall settle is a high-backed wooden bench designed to shield sitters from draughts in large entryways and great halls while frequently providing integrated storage beneath a hinged seat.

These benches were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or chestnut, often backed with secondary softwoods like pine, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-carved decorative panelling.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planing on rear surfaces, original joinery marks, natural patination around high-wear areas like armrests, and deep, hand-chiseled architectural motifs rather than machine-moulded relief work.

Positioning a settle in a wide entrance hallway or gallery space creates a strong architectural focal point, where the timber tones can be balanced with neutral plaster walls and minimalist lighting.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing along the grain to protect the timber finish and prevent the wood from drying.
