FAQs

Refectory tables originated in monasteries and large manors as communal dining surfaces, characterised by long, narrow proportions, sturdy timber construction, and stretcher-supported bases designed to maximise legroom and stability.

Such pieces were typically constructed from locally sourced native hardwoods such as fruitwood, oak, elm, or cherry, joined using traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints rather than modern metal fasteners.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-planed surface irregularities, wooden peg joinery, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, natural patination from decades of use, and signs of hand-tool construction beneath the top and frame.

Pair the table with contrasting minimalist modern seating to highlight its historic character, or ground it within a rustic or eclectic scheme using simple linen runners and earthenware ceramics.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding placement near direct heat sources or strong sunlight, and periodically nourishing the wood with a traditional beeswax polish to preserve the patina.
