Made from oak, the high-backed settle features carved panels with pointed lancet arches and quatrefoil tracery. A pierced Gothic crest extends across the top, while shaped arms frame the paneled seat and box-form base.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe seat lifts to reveal a spacious storage compartment. This makes the bench particularly useful in an entryway, hall, or living area. Its rich brown finish, aged patina, architectural carving, and combination of seating and concealed storage give the piece both visual presence and practical function.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike all our antiques, it was thoughtfully sourced in Europe, to be imported to our Oregon warehouse, and carefully finished with antique-grade paste wax to preserve its beauty for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bench shows surface wear, minor marks, and finish variations consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n58\" high x 56\" wide x 20\" deep\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping:\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge items are carefully blanket-wrapped and delivered by trusted small-business transport companies experienced in handling antiques and fine furniture.
