FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries, where they were used in the dining hall (refectory) for communal meals by monks, typically characterised by their long, narrow proportions and sturdy trestle construction.

These tables are traditionally constructed from heavy indigenous timbers such as English oak, utilising pegged mortise and tenon joints, stretcher bases, and frequently featuring single-plank tops hewn from mature trees.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks left by adzes and hand saws, natural timber shrinkage, oxidisation and patina consistent with age, traditional joint construction without modern hardware, and hand-turned supports.

A refectory table provides a strong architectural anchor in a contemporary dining room and can be balanced by pairing it with contrasting modern seating, minimalist lighting, and a neutral colour palette.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct heat sources, applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the dry wood, and using coasters or placemats to protect the surface.
