FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries, where they were used in the dining hall (refectory) for communal meals by monks, designed long and narrow to accommodate many diners.

These tables were traditionally constructed from sturdy native hardwoods such as English oak, utilising pegged mortise and tenon joints for maximum structural integrity.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut joints, traditional pegged construction, natural timber shrinkage, and accumulated patina from centuries of use rather than modern mechanical fixings.

Pairing a historic wooden table with contemporary minimalist seating or industrial lighting creates a balanced contrast that highlights the natural grain and texture of the wood.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the wood, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity changes.
