FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where they were used in dining halls, known as refectories, for communal meals by monks.

They are traditionally crafted from sturdy timbers such as oak, elm, or pine, featuring thick plank tops joined by sturdy stretchers and trestle or pegged legs for structural stability.

Authenticity is indicated by period joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed surface textures, natural timber shrinkage, and appropriate signs of age and wear.

Pair the historical piece with contemporary minimalist seating to create a striking contrast, allowing the natural grain and texture of the wood to serve as a focal point.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations, applying natural beeswax periodically, and using protective mats for hot items.
