Small Welsh Pine Box Settle c1840

1 of 6
Something very special.
A beautiful Welsh Pine Box Settle of rare form and highly sought after small size - New Quay c1840
At just 3ft 6”” long with a gently sloping back this gorgeously comfortable settle is the sweetest thing in the most exceptional original condition. Of an incredibly rare form these settles are only usually found between Llangrannog and New Quay, whilst the maker is unknown they were certainly made in the locality in one of the coastal ship building villages. We know this as they occasionally include rare timbers including teak - a timber traditionally used in shop building and for ships furniture.
These iconic Welsh sgiws were originally found in cottages, taverns and farmhouses of the region often in the kitchen or beside the fireplace. We have an identical example from the Dolau Inn in New Quay in our own home.
Ever so comfy and small enough to work in any room this is a very special example indeed. Strong and sturdy with fabulous warm and nutty colour true to age. A perfect settle in every aspect and without doubt the very best example of its type we have ever seen.
Length 107cm. Max Height 112cm. Seat Height 46cm. Seat Depth 42cm. Max Overall depth 62cm
