FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where they were used in the dining hall, or refectory, for communal meals by monks.

Authentic refectory tables are traditionally constructed from heavy timbers such as oak, featuring thick plank tops and sturdy underframes secured with pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, traditional joinery without modern metal fasteners, natural timber shrinkage, and accumulated patination consistent with age and use.

Pairing a heavy wooden table with contemporary minimalist seating or industrial lighting creates a balanced contrast between old and new design elements.

Maintain the timber by avoiding direct heat sources, using coasters or placemats to protect the finish, and occasionally treating the wood with natural beeswax.
