About the Item

This settle or bench is early 20th Century, possibly older. Original green and red paint full of rustic charm and an exquisite example of folk craftsmanship. Wonderful natural colours and patina. This bench serves a dual purpose with its seating and storage. The seat lifts up to reveal a deep compartment originally used to store linens, grain sacks or even family heirlooms. A versatile and authentic piece perfect as a hallway seat, or boot room storage adding history and character. A few bumps and scrapes but generally in good structural condition. A fun and useful piece of furniture.
