FAQs

Settles originated in medieval times as high-backed wooden benches with arms and solid seats, designed to protect inhabitants from draughts in large, cold halls before the widespread use of partitioning and central heating.

Authentic period settles are constructed primarily from solid native timbers such as oak, elm, or pine, employing traditional joinery techniques including pegged mortise and tenon joints and hand-panelled construction.

Authentication involves examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, the character of the patination, hand-cut iron hinges, and the integrity of the pegged joinery to ensure consistency with period manufacturing methods.

An antique settle provides strong architectural presence in modern spaces when paired with contrasting minimalist elements, soft linen cushions, or textured throws to balance the heavy timber construction.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, supplemented by occasional applications of traditional beeswax to nourish and protect the historic timber surface.
