Height 164 cm, width 205 cm, depth 58 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This settle is in a generally good overall condition commensurate with age. Having come directly the Greystoke Castle entrance hall where it has stood for many years. There are a few minor blemishes as expected. Slight chipping along the base of the carved cresting to back. Slight cracking to the burr within the left hand carved face mask. Shrinkage splitting to the ovolo moulding around the border to the central upper carved panel and the carved panel within has some horizontal shrinkage splitting to the left of the panel. Slight chipping to the top of the right hand upright and two vertical shrinkage splits, plus a replaced piece of oak directly in front at the corner of the back. Slight shrinkage splitting running vertically to the left hand upright above the arm, with some chipping below on this upright. Slight cracking to the left arm. Slight vertical shrinkage splitting to the left hand lower panel to back featuring a pair of birds. Slight shrinkage splitting to the adjoining twin bird panel towards the lower portion of the panel. Slight splitting to the central panel featuring the Howard armorial. Some vertical splitting to the adjoining panel featuring a pair of birds. Slight cracking to the right arm terminal. Scuffing, staining and wear to the seats with the left hand lifting seat having a triangular repair to the front edge and a small triangular piece chipped from the back of the hinge. The right hand lifting seat being slightly warped. Underside of this seat there are some burn marks. Some chipping to the inside of the left hand arm terminal. Other small blemishes can be found throughout as expected with a piece of furniture of this age. The settle is impressive and historic and bears to the back and index card with Mrs Staffor Howard, Greystoke Castle address, worded in blue ink "This oak settle was a wedding gift of Thomas Howard Earl of Arundel and Lady Alethea Talbot, son of the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1620, her dowry included the Sheffield property long owned by the Duke of Norfolk". In our opinion this settle is Victorian rather than being 17th century but is it feasible this settle may include earlier timbers and has been greatly embellished during the Victorian period to be more or less unrecognisable as an earlier piece of furniture.
