FAQs

A refectory table is a long, sturdy dining table originally designed for communal dining in monastic refectories during the Middle Ages, later adapted for domestic use in country houses.

Traditional refectory tables are crafted from solid hardwoods, primarily oak, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery, planked tops, heavy turned supports, and low stretcher rails.

Look for natural wear along the stretchers where feet rested, pegged timber joinery, uneven hand-planed surfaces, and an established patina in the wood grain.

Pair a substantial wooden table with contemporary dining chairs or modern pendant lighting to create an intriguing contrast between historical structure and modern design.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year along the wood grain to protect the timber and maintain its natural luster.
