FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where monks gathered for communal meals in the dining hall, known as the refectory, typically characterised by long, narrow proportions designed to seat many occupants.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid native timbers such as oak, featuring pegged mortise and tenon joints, stretcher bases for structural stability, and hand-carved decorative elements.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate joinery techniques, natural timber shrinkage, hand-cut tool marks, and consistent oxidisation or patina developed through centuries of use.

Pairing a heavy wooden dining table with minimalist modern seating or placing it within an open-plan kitchen creates a striking focal point that balances historical character with modern clean lines.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, cleaning with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
