FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where they were used in communal dining halls, known as refectories, designed long and narrow to accommodate many diners.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid English or European oak, featuring heavy plank tops, sturdy stretcher bases, and time-tested joinery such as mortise and tenon.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-cut joints, natural timber shrinkage, and accumulated patination resulting from centuries of use.

Pairing the heavy wooden table with minimalist modern seating or sleek industrial lighting creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent splitting, and periodically applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
