FAQs

Refectory tables originated in medieval monasteries where monks gathered for communal meals in the refectory, later evolving into long dining tables used in large manor houses.

These tables are traditionally constructed from heavy domestic hardwoods, most commonly solid oak, utilising sturdy mortise and tenon joinery.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-planed surfaces, pegged joints, natural timber shrinkage, and genuine patination accumulated through decades of use.

Pairing a historic wooden table with contemporary minimalist seating creates a striking contrast that balances rustic texture with modern clean lines.

Maintain the wood by cleaning with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and occasionally nourishing the surface with natural beeswax.
