FAQs

Originating in medieval monastic refectories, these long dining tables evolved by the 18th century into staple furnishings for country houses, characterised by heavy timber construction, long plank tops, and sturdy stretcher bases.

Tables from this period were crafted from solid native oak using hand-planed planks joined with mortise and tenon joints, held together with wooden dowels or pegs rather than modern metal fasteners.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of hand tooling, slight irregularities in timber dimensions, natural shrinkage around joints, and depth of patination accumulated from centuries of wax polishing.

Complement the heavy visual scale of the oak structure by pairing it with contemporary mid-century chairs, neutral linen upholstery, and minimalistic linear lighting overhead.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish along the wood grain once or twice a year while keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
