FAQs

Refectory tables originated in monasteries during the medieval period, where they were used by monks for communal dining in the refectory hall.

These tables are traditionally constructed from heavy English or European oak, featuring mortise and tenon joints, pegged construction, and substantial stretcher bases for stability.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut pegs, adze marks on the timber, natural shrinkage splits, and a deep patina accumulated over centuries of use.

Pair the table with minimalist modern seating or upholstered chairs to create a striking contrast between contemporary design and historical craftsmanship.

Maintain the wood by avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
