Description

Late 19th century French cherrywood 3 seater bench or settle in this wonderful original leather. Good decor piece but it is practical too, very comfortable for 3 adults to sit on for a table, or would make a fabulous piece for an entrance hall.

Well carved throughout and is in good solid condition, with just two very small Knicks to the leather (front left corner and another right hand side of the back panel)…both are stable and will not increase in size.

Measuring:

39 1/2 inches or 100 cm high

63 3/4 inches or 162 cm wide

25 inches or 63.5 cm deep

18 inches or 46 cm seat height

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

Settles originated as wooden benches with high backs and arms, traditionally used in European farmhouses and inns to block draughts and provide communal seating near firesides.

Antique settles were primarily constructed from regional hardwoods such as oak, elm, pine, and cherrywood, often featuring upholstered leather or fabric seat pads and backrests in later iterations.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, natural timber oxidisation, hand-turned spindles, and wear patterns consistent with age.

An antique settle can serve as a statement piece in a hallway, provide alternative dining seating, or add historical contrast against minimalist contemporary decor.

Maintain the wood with microcrystalline wax and nourish the leather periodically with a specialised leather conditioner, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
