The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A refectory table is a long, sturdy dining table originally designed for communal meals in monastic dining halls during the Middle Ages, later becoming a staple of European country homes.

These tables were constructed from solid regional hardwoods, predominantly oak, utilizing pegged mortise and tenon joinery, thick plank tops, and heavy trestle or pedestal bases connected by stretchers.

Authentic period examples exhibit signs of hand-planed timber, historic wood shrinkage around joints, natural surface patination, and physical wear on the lower stretchers consistent with historical use.

A large refectory table acts as a grounding centrepiece in open-plan spaces, complementing contemporary architectural elements when paired with modern dining chairs or minimalist lighting fixtures.

Clean surfaces using a soft dry cloth, apply high-quality beeswax periodically to nourish the timber, and protect the wood from extreme temperature fluctuations and direct heat.
