FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries, where they were utilised in communal dining halls for monks to eat meals.

They are traditionally constructed from heavy domestic hardwoods like oak, employing traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints with wooden pegs.

Authentic pieces typically display period-appropriate tool marks, hand-carved details, timber shrinkage, and consistent patina developed through centuries of use.

Pairing the heavy wooden table with minimalist modern seating creates a striking visual contrast that highlights the historic craftsmanship within a contemporary space.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically feeding the timber with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicon polishes.
