FAQs

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

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, featuring thick plank tops, trestle bases, and often joined using pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, natural timber shrinkage, period-appropriate joinery such as wooden pegs, and consistent patination and oxidisation appropriate to age.

Pair the table with contrasting minimalist chairs or mixed seating to balance its historical weight, allowing the natural wood grain to serve as a focal point in the room.

Maintain the wood by avoiding direct sunlight, using coasters and placemats to protect the finish, and occasionally applying beeswax to nourish and protect the timber grain.
