FAQs

Settles are traditional wooden benches with high backs and enclosed bases, widely used in British and European homes and inns since the medieval period to block draughts from doors.

Traditional settles are constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or elm, utilising mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved panels, and integrated box storage beneath hinged seats.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate hand-carving techniques, traditional joinery methods, natural timber oxidisation, and hand-cut dovetails within the internal storage compartment.

A wooden settle functions effectively as a structural hallway seating option or a characterful entryway piece, softened with neutral textiles or textured cushions for balanced contrast.

Preserve wooden surfaces by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry cloth.
