FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries, where they were used in the dining hall (refectory) for communal meals by monks, designed with a long, narrow format to seat many occupants.

Authentic refectory tables are constructed from solid hardwoods like English oak, utilizing heavy planks pegged together with tenon joints and supported by substantial trestle bases.

Key indicators of age include hand-planed surface textures, pegged joints rather than modern metal screws, natural shrinkage splits, and a deep patina accumulated over centuries of use.

Contrast the heavy, historical timber with contemporary minimalist dining chairs and sleek overhead lighting to create a balanced, eclectic dining space.

Protect the timber from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, clean only with a soft damp cloth, and periodically nourish the wood with natural beeswax.
