A large antique settle crafted from solid oak.
High backrest with six large raised and fielded panels with simply shaped arms on elegantly turned stiles. Four front panels below the seat are raised and fielded to match the backrest.
The seat is divided in two, each with hinges to reveal hidden and very useful hidden storage compartment, perfect for stashing away various items…..and lots of them!
Settles were generally placed by the large open fireplaces in country houses and inns. Usually, characterful pieces as they got heavy use. Restored, cleaned and waxed in-house to highlight the wonderful patina.
