Description:
This is a fine antique English mud 18th century Georgian oak settle, from the George II period, circa 1750, comprising four panels, which measures 5ft wide, boasts a stunning colour and is in excellent original condition. The Georgian oak settle comprises a mid-height back, with a moulded top rail and two triangular finials with four fielded panels below, interspersed by moulded rails and stiles. The sturdy down-swept arms are secured by shaped vertical supports to a solid two panel oak seat, with a straight frieze below. The oak bench stands on primitive block feet to the front and rear, all of which are united by bar stretchers, for additional strength. The Georgian oak settle frame has been constructed in the traditional manner with pegged and joined construction. It is unusual to see early mid 18th century oak settle of this size, in such excellent original condition – this makes it highly desirable.
The Georgian wooden bench boasts a rich dark-brown period oxblood colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour, depth and patination this can only be achieved through the age and years of care and cleaning it has received. It is impossible to re-create this colour if it has been re-polished.
This Georgian oak settle would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hallway or kitchen, in either a traditional or contemporary setting. This oak bench would certainly grace any home and a great investment, as it’s an extremely functional item.

Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit, therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
