Description

Large Heals Tilden Antique Oak Refectory Dining Table

A superb quality, solid antique oak dining table by Heals of London around 1915 and from their Tilden range of furniture, named after Philip Tilden the architect who designed the range. This style of Heals antique dining table is known as the Churchill table as a pair of these were supplied to Sir Winston Chruchill’s home, Chartwell. This version is a more unusual model being much larger. We think this is the best model of dining table Heals ever produced, it features four gun barrel turned legs that finish on sledge feet with a connecting wide, flat stretchered base. Under the table top are shaped corbels supports that mirror the shaped feet. A superb example in excellent, clean condition.

This large Edwardian Arts and Crafts dining table is part of the Tilden range from Heals of London, designed by architect Philip Tilden around 1915 in an English country house style. Fashioned from solid oak in a warm brown colour, the piece has a rectangular plank top resting above four gun barrel turned column legs. The legs connect to a wide, flat central floor stretcher and terminate in sledge feet, while shaped corbels support the underside of the top to mirror the feet. Measuring 213 cm in width, 77 cm in depth, and 76 cm in height, the table functions as a dining surface in a dining room or kitchen. The design allows it to seat multiple guests comfortably during meals.

FAQs

A refectory table is a long, narrow table originally designed for communal dining in medieval monasteries. The style was revived during the Arts and Crafts period by makers such as Heal & Son, defined by sturdy trestle bases and solid oak construction.

Traditional refectory tables were constructed from solid hardwoods using mortise and tenon joinery. They typically feature a heavy plank top supported by turned or square column legs mounted on sled feet, connected by a low central stretcher rail.

Look for visible mortise and tenon joints, solid oak timber showing clear grain patterns, and simple functional proportions without excessive carving. Authentic period pieces may also retain maker labels or stamped markings beneath the top.

Pair the table with contemporary dining chairs or timber benches to balance the substantial frame. Position it centrally in a dining room beneath a linear pendant light fixture to emphasize the length and natural wood finish.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year following the timber grain. Protect the wood from hot dishes and liquid spills by using trivets and mats.
