FAQs

Trestle tables date back to medieval times when boards were laid across portable supports for dining and disassembled afterwards to save space in great halls.

Craftsmen typically utilised locally sourced hardwoods and softwoods such as oak, poplar, elm, and fruitwoods for durability and availability.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joints, traditional peg construction, natural patina from age and use, and tool marks consistent with period hand-working methods.

The piece works effectively as seating alongside a dining table, placed in a hallway, or positioned at the foot of a bed to contrast with modern upholstery.

Maintain antique wood by dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
