9 Ft French Rustic Refectory Table & William Mary Chairs Dining Set

You are viewing a gorgeous French 'Lilly flower' table hand crafted from the finest oak with a matching set of William and Mary chairs in oak. This is the ultimate for those of you looking to achieve that cosy rustic farmhouse look that is so popula. The table is a large nine foot long and thus can seat 8 people more than comfortably so is perfect for all your dinner party needs. 

It's incredibly solid and chunky, this table is built to last and has something of the French provincial rustic to the look. It is elegant enough to go in the dining room and sturdy enough to withstand the vigours of every day family use in the kitchen.

The table sits on the twin posts underneath, adding to its strength, whilst also looking good. We bought this from a dealers in Nantes we regularly visit whilst on our French buying trips.

English Rustic Refectory Table & William Mary Chair Set

You are viewing a delightful English oak refectory table with a matching set of 8 William and Mary chairs. I hope the photos do this stunning set some justice, it's certainly more impressive in the flesh. If you are looking for that cosy, rustic, provincial farmhouse look then - this is it! We appreciate it's quite an initial outlay but then this set will last for generations hence making it a great heirloom and investment. This will only appreicate with age. As dining together whether with family and friends is perhaps the most important thing we can do as humans - why not do it in complete and utter style? Refectory tables were originally used by monks in their refectorys, hence the name. You can imagine them drinking trappist ales in their flagons! The table is solid as an ox - chunky, wobble free, resiliant to everything a family can throw at it. We had a similar table when I grew up - it's still there. The legs are hand turned and chunky. A top sits the large eating surface in true refectory style and this is 8 feet long - and you can see how it comfortably sits eight people. Then we have the set of 8 William and Mary style high back chairs. Two arms and six sides. The William and Mary style is from the Tudor era in 17th Century England and again is perfect for those looking for the cosy, rustic, provincial farmhouse look - they also look great in the Great Hall of a castle! Again solid and sturdy, wobble free and very comfortable to sit in - perhaps made even more comfortable with some patterned tie down cushions - a great project for after the purchase so you can match it in with your colour scheme. The chairs are oak and match the table perfectly. They are also incredibly solid and chunky and will last for ever. We bought this set from a dealer in Debenham Suffolk, it is offered in great shape. Get your bids in early, this unique piece will not be hanging around for long. If required we could sell the table and chairs separately - we also have benches and ladderbacks that would work well around this table.
