FAQs

Settles originated as high-backed wooden benches designed to block draughts in medieval and early modern homes, evolving during the Victorian era into heavily ornamented revival pieces featuring intricate carvings inspired by earlier gothic and renaissance styles.

These pieces are traditionally constructed from solid English or European oak, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved panels, and hinged wooden seats that double as lids for integrated storage compartments.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural timber aging, hand-tool marks behind carvings, traditional joinery methods without modern metal fasteners, and appropriate patination consistent with nineteenth-century use.

A traditional wooden settle provides a striking architectural anchor in contemporary entryways or hallways, balancing well against neutral walls and softened with linen cushions or sheepskin throws.

Preserve antique oak by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the timber.
