Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originally designed for use in monastic dining halls during the Middle Ages, a refectory table is a long, narrow dining table characterised by robust legs joined by low stretchers, later popularized in residential settings during the 17th and 19th centuries.

Victorian refectory tables were typically constructed from solid oak or walnut using traditional joinery methods, such as mortise and tenon joints, and featured hand-turned baluster legs with carved friezes.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display natural age patina, historical wear along the foot stretchers, hand-carved decorative motifs, and uneven hand-planed surfaces on the underside of the tabletop.

Pair the heavy oak table with modern contemporary dining chairs to create a balanced contrast between historical timber textures and clean architectural lines.

Clean the wooden surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and preserve its finish.
