Antique Georgian Oak Settle Bench, c1740 A magnificent early Georgian oak settle bench, dating from circa 1740, displaying the robust craftsmanship and decorative detailing typical of mid-18th-century English country furniture. Constructed in solid oak with rich, dark patina and beautiful age movement, this long bench exudes the warmth and authenticity only found in genuine period pieces. The three-panel back is framed with hand-carved mouldings featuring punchwork and leaf carvings, while the seat rail is decorated with a series of stylised arcaded motifs reminiscent of Gothic and Jacobean influences. The shaped scroll arms and turned front legs add elegant balance to its otherwise strong architectural form. Originally crafted for a farmhouse hall or manor entrance, this bench would have served both as seating and as a symbol of family heritage — a piece of furniture meant to endure generations. Today it makes a striking feature in any country hallway, kitchen, or boot room, offering both functional seating and decorative historic charm. The oak has developed a deep natural surface with appealing wear, testament to its 280-year life. An exceptional early example of Georgian vernacular furniture, perfect for collectors and period interior enthusiasts alike.

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
