FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where they were used in dining halls, known as refectories, to accommodate large communities for communal meals.

These tables are traditionally constructed from heavy domestic timber, primarily oak, featuring thick plank tops secured with wooden pegs, dovetails, or stretcher bases for structural stability.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut tenons, natural timber shrinkage, oxidisation, and tool marks consistent with historical hand-tool manufacturing.

Balancing the heavy wooden aesthetic with minimalist seating, modern lighting fixtures, and neutral textiles creates a cohesive contrast between historical craft and current design.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, cleaning with a damp cloth, and periodically applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
