Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

This early Victorian three-seater bench originates from Hungary and is rendered in a continental folk art rustic farmhouse style. Constructed from pine, the piece has a dark grey painted finish that has been rubbed over at the edges and waxed, revealing traces of warmer timber underneath. The design incorporates a high backrest fitted with narrow vertical spindles and a shaped pediment cresting, alongside curved scrolled arms, square legs, and a hinged box seat providing interior storage. Visible details include wear along the top edges and armrests where the dark paint has thinned, as well as a small latch hole near the front edge of the seat base. Measuring 99 cm high, 195 cm wide, and 50 cm deep, the bench comfortably seats three adults. It functions well as practical seating in a hallway or placed alongside a large dining table in either a traditional or contemporary home.

A Hungarian settle bench is a functional folk furniture piece featuring a high back, solid timber construction, and often an integrated storage compartment beneath the seat plank, historically crafted throughout rural Eastern Europe during the nineteenth century.

These benches were typically constructed from local softwoods such as pine or fir, utilising traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, and finished with durable painted coatings to protect the wood.

Authentic period benches feature hand-planed timbers, slight structural irregularities in the hand-cut joinery, and natural paint distress or wear along high-contact surfaces such as the armrests and seat front.

Position the bench in an entryway, boot room, or dining space to provide functional seating and storage, pairing the dark painted finish with neutral walls, wool throws, or natural linen cushions to add visual warmth.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, applying a clear natural paste wax occasionally to unpainted areas to preserve the timber.
