Victorian Carved Oak Box Settle

Victorian Carved Oak Box Settle with Lion Arm Supports This impressive Victorian carved oak box settle is a striking example of 19th-century English craftsmanship, richly decorated with deep relief carving and strong architectural form. Constructed from solid oak, the settle features boldly carved lion arm supports to each end, lending both sculptural presence and symbolic strength to the piece. The high back is formed of multiple carved panels, each depicting detailed interior genre scenes, a popular decorative theme of the Victorian period reflecting domestic life and craftsmanship. Flowing foliate scrollwork frames the panels and continues across the frieze and lower sections, creating a unified and highly decorative composition. Designed to be both practical and imposing, the settle incorporates a box seat with internal storage, making it ideal for use in a hall, country house interior, or traditional setting. Its generous proportions and robust construction ensure it functions equally well as seating and as a statement antique furniture piece. ________________________________________ Key Features • Authentic Victorian carved oak box settle • Solid oak construction with rich, warm patina • Carved lion arm supports to each end • High back with multiple relief-carved panels • Panels depicting detailed interior genre scenes • Foliate scroll carving throughout • Box seat with practical internal storage • Strong architectural form typical of late 19th-century design ________________________________________ Dimensions • Width: 150 cm (59 in) • Depth: 45 cm (17 ¾ in) • Height: 117 cm (46 in) ________________________________________ “There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
