How do I care for an old timber table?

Maintain the wood by applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the dry grain and protect against moisture. Avoid placing hot dishes directly onto the antique surface to prevent permanent marks. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and sudden temperature fluctuations to stop the timber from warping or splitting over time.

How do I identify a refectory table?

Look for a long, narrow format supported by thick legs joined together by a low horizontal stretcher near the floor. This architectural arrangement provided stability for heavy boards. Traditional refectory tables derive their form from large communal dining halls, making them naturally suited for modern open-plan spaces.

What is the difference between oak and pine tables?

Oak is a dense hardwood that provides exceptional weight, durability, and a pronounced grain pattern suitable for formal and rustic settings alike. Pine is a softer wood that yields a lighter appearance and shows the gentle dents of daily use. Both materials were chosen for their regional availability and structural suitability in domestic furniture making.
