Wm Burges~Gothic Settle

William Burges Gothic painted and gilded 'Zodiac' Settle The 'Zodiac' Settle
This really is a Gothic stunner. It was based on a Wm. Burges original. Although shown partially painted, the finished piece is very striking ( the two columns were covered in Gothic patterns ). It has a very strong architectural feel. The seat lid opens for plenty of storage, the seat could also have a cushion for extra comfort. The top of the columns hold either church candles ( which reflect beautifully off the Gold background ), or can be wired for electric lights.

The top panel incorporates Burges' Signs of the Zodiac Medieval figures dancing a breakdown, on a gold leafed ground. For what it is the final price on this is anticipated to be very good.

The back of this piece will also form the basis of a new four poster bed we are designing. This is quite a slim piece, and would sit happily in a hallway, but could look just as good in a modern loft apartment to give some character and focal point.

Gothic Gothique painted carved wooden settle bench seat with pre-raphaelite painted figures, furniture This is another turn of the century settle we greatly admire, and would love to make it for an interested client. The original was actually a Bishop's settle, painted around the turn of the century, with a Byzantine flavour and Pre-raphaelite style back panels. The main colour was Ivory. The use of cushions are optional, but do add to the richness, comfort and look of the piece.
