A hallway, dining area, or kitchen can feel more welcoming with a traditional settle that offers both seating and storage. This solid oak settle brings character to the room while providing a practical place to sit, store household items, or create a feature against a wall. The piece has a high panelled back with detailed carved leaf and scroll designs, complemented by shaped arms and turned front supports. The lift-up seat opens to reveal useful storage inside, making it well suited for shoes, blankets, bags, or other everyday items. The carved front panel and decorative border add plenty of traditional detail without taking away from its practical use. The settle has been stripped back and finished with multiple coats of hard-wearing lacquer, helping to protect the oak while drawing out the natural grain and carved detail. There are signs of age and repair to the lift-up seat, as shown in the photographs, including visible patches and previous repair work, all in keeping with an older used piece of furniture. This item is made from solid oak. With its storage, seating, and carved oak finish, this settle would make a useful and characterful addition to a period or country-style home.[dimensions][w]147[/w][h]156[/h][d]50[/d][/dimensions]
