A superb large pine box Settle dating from the mid 19th century. It has a panelled back with beautifully shaped arms and a panelled base. It has a thick pine seat which lifts up to reveal a useful storage space below. The seat also comes with a specially made fitted cushion with zip cover. The rear of the settle still has its original painted finish with many layers of paint creating a wonderful surface.
It is in very good condition for its age and the pine has a wonderful warm patina. There are signs of age and wear, small knocks and marks and old splits but nothing detrimental. There are signs of historic worm which has all been treated as a precaution and hasn't affected the piece structurally or aesthetically. The whole piece has been cleaned and given a gentle wax and is ready for use.
