About the Item

A circa 1780 English settle or hall bench in solid oak with paneled back and removable bench cushion. After nearly three centuries the wood appears ebonized with dark patina that enhances the sharp angles of the recesses in the paneling. The geometry of the seat back establishes three places to comfortably seat up to three guests (although best for two people) enclosed by low, gently scrolling arms. A foam bench cushion upholstered in cinnamon-toned, velvety material of gently worn condition rests on a (more recent) wood deck for support. From the side view one can see holes that are evidence the seat was originally made of rush, now the zippered cushion is a modern and practical choice for cleaning and comfort. Elevating the whole are three, turned and tapering pad-footed front legs, quite thick, and two squared back legs to sit flush against a wall. The wood frame has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to reveal every historic character. Please view the detailed images to see more. Seat height: 19 ¾” Seat depth: 17” Arm height: 24 ¼”
