Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Originally designed for communal dining halls in monasteries, French refectory tables are long, sturdy dining tables typically constructed with solid wood tops, trestle bases, and lower stretchers for structural stability.

European oak was the primary material utilised due to its density and durability, often held together using traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs.

Authentic period examples feature hand-planed timber surfaces, pegged joinery, natural shrinkage along the plank seams, and physical wear along the lower stretcher consistent with historical usage.

Pair the substantial oak structure with modern upholstered chairs or sleek contemporary seating to create a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and current interior design.

Maintain the timber by applying clear beeswax once or twice annually, wiping up spills immediately, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking or warping.
