Description:
This is a fine quality small antique English Victorian oak bench, which is also known as a “settle”, incorporating a useful hinged storage box, decorated with “Green Man” carvings, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. Ideal for use in the hallway for storing shoes & boots. The small antique oak settle comprises a mid-height oak back, boasting a foliate scroll-carved pediment, above a moulded top rail. The back features a lozenge shaped panel incorporating a “Green Man” carved face, flanked by scroll carvings and flower-head carvings. Adjoining the back and seat, are down-swept reeded, segmented carved arms, terminating on carved armrests in the shape of a lion’s body and head, which stare at each other across the seat.
The moulded panelled seat lifts up to reveal a large storage area, which is ideal for storing shoes and boots in the hallway. Below the seat, the front of the Victorian oak settle is decorated with a carved panel, incorporating two “Green Man” carved faces, set with lozenge-shaped panels, flanked by scroll foliate carvings. The settle rests on the original moulded plinth. The sides of the oak bench incorporated floral scribe carvings, set within a moulded panel.
The Victorian oak bench boasts a stunning warm brown oak colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour, depth and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This carved oak settle would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hallway or kitchen. This monk’s bench would certainly grace any home and a great investment, as it’s an extremely functional item. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality small antique English Victorian oak bench, which is also known as a “settle”, incorporating a useful hinged storage box, decorated with “Green Man” carvings, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. Ideal for use in the hallway for storing shoes & boots. The carved pediment is detachable, if not required. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges, frame, sides and drawer bottoms, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The bench has been cleaned and French polished by hand in our workshop, to a professional standard. Therefore, the finish, colour and patination are excellent. The original hinges are in good working order. The Victorian oak bench retains its original polish, featuring a rich mid-brown oak colour. There are no breaks to the carvings, back, arms or base of the oak bench. The 19th century settle is well constructed, solid in joint and is ready to be used.

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.
