About the Item

A remarkable 17th century Jacobean English oak settle, or settee, is notable for its substantial presence and period-authentic construction. The high back is composed of seven flat, recessed panels, a distinguishing hallmark of the Jacobean period and an indication of careful, skilled joinery. The carved decoration along the top rail is rendered in low relief in the traditional geometric and foliate style typical of the 17th century, and it bears the incised inscription “16 JOHN BREACHE 40,” an intriguing detail that enhances the piece’s historical interest and provenance. Straight arms flank the sides, complementing the broad plank seat that is supported on turned legs and reinforced by a substantial block stretcher for added stability. Settles are identified by their long length, high back, and integrated arms—features designed to offer protection from drafts in large halls and farmhouse interiors and to provide comfortable, communal seating. The multiple recessed or fielded panels on the back and the carved top rail collectively emphasize the piece’s authentic period character, craftsmanship, and restrained yet dignified functional elegance. Size: 101” L x 11.5” D x 40” H England, c. 1640
