FAQs

A monks bench, also known as a settle or table bench, originated in medieval Europe where furniture needed to serve multiple functions in compact living spaces, often converting from a seat with a storage compartment into a small table.

These pieces are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, featuring traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved panels, and pegged construction.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, tool marks, natural timber shrinkage, oxidisation consistent with age, and hand-carved detailing rather than symmetrical modern machine routing.

This type of furniture can be used as a functional statement piece in an entrance hallway or living room, contrasting cleanly against neutral walls to highlight the tactile timber texture.

Preserve the wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and apply natural beeswax periodically to nourish the timber without sealing the surface.
