FAQs

A refectory table is a long, narrow dining table originally designed for communal dining in medieval monasteries. Over time, the design evolved into a staple of domestic dining spaces, characterised by solid wood construction and sturdy trestle bases.

Refectory tables from the 18th century were predominantly crafted from solid native hardwoods, most commonly European oak. Construction relied on traditional joinery techniques, including mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-hewn wood surfaces, uneven wear patterns on footrests or stretchers, and traditional peg construction. The timber often displays deep oxidisation and a rich patina developed over centuries of polish and use.

An antique refectory table works exceptionally well as a dining focal point juxtaposed with modern minimalist chairs. Its long, narrow proportions also make it suitable as a grand hall table or behind a large sofa in an open-plan living space.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the wood finish. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources or in damp conditions to prevent timber movement.
