FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where monks gathered for communal meals, evolving through the centuries into longer, narrower dining tables characterised by stretcher bases for stability.

These tables are traditionally constructed from heavy native timbers such as English oak, joined using traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints, and feature thick plank tops supported by stretchers.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-cut peg joints, natural timber shrinkage, and deep surface patina accumulated through centuries of use rather than artificial distressing.

An antique refectory table anchors a dining space effectively when paired with contrasting modern chairs to balance historical weight with contemporary clean lines.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct heat sources, and treating the timber periodically with traditional beeswax to protect the finish without sealing the wood.
