MEDIEVAL STYLE

The Middle Ages in Europe followed the end of the Roman Empire, and in this time of change, which preceded the Renaissance, furniture was simple and utilitarian, with most homes having only the necessities like chests and benches. Much of medieval furniture, which was often made in oak or walnut, was built for the elite, particularly the emerging merchant class who owned multiple homes.

Life for many in the medieval era was unstable, and furniture was designed to be functional and portable. Peasants worked the fields for affluent landowners and didn’t have access to literature in the way that nobles and people of the church did (women less so than men). The furniture in their modest dwellings was typically limited to cookware and a handful of stools. Foldable chairs, while uncommon in homes of the early Middle Ages and emblematic of wealth, like all other furnishings of the time, allowed for easy transportation of a household. Trestle tables with detachable legs and collapsible beds were designed to be simply moved from place to place.

Medieval blanket chests were among the most important furniture objects and could further serve as tables or even beds. Some ancient traditions were carried forward to build this sturdy furniture, such as turnery. Although the furniture was minimally designed, embellishments like carvings added elegance to the heavy wood pieces. These details sometimes reflected trends in religious art like rose windows.

By the later Middle Ages, storage pieces like chests of drawers were often adorned with high relief carvings, such as geometric and floral motifs. By the 14th and 15th centuries, design had developed to include more involved pieces like cupboards and desks, while benches frequently doubled as chests with hinged seats. Beds also changed in this era from basic boards to four-post designs with large drapes to keep the sleeper warm. These beds and other medieval bedroom furniture were significant status symbols, passed down through families and used as places to conduct business and receive visitors.

Surviving examples of medieval furniture are very rare, yet its distinctive aesthetics influenced later styles like William and Mary and Arts and Crafts.

Large 17th century Jacobean style Baroque Farmhouse Refectory Table – Early 1900

Large 17th century Jacobean style Baroque Farmhouse Refectory Table – Early 1900

Located in Store Heddinge, DK

This is a truly grand and powerful piece. A large, heavy Baroque-style dining table, built in the early 1900s, likely around the 1930s–1940s. It’s made entirely from solid oak – not just any oak, but oak that has been laid in a bog to develop a patina that mimics the depth and character of 300-year-old timber. The result is an incredible surface texture, rich with age and soul. The table has always belonged to the same family and has been carefully preserved over the years. The tabletop (3.5cm - 1.38inches) rests freely on the base, but due to its sheer weight, it sits firm and solid. It’s what one might call a classic vineyard or refectory table – farmhouse in style, with strong English Baroque and 17th/18th-century influences. Sometimes referred to as a Jacobean oak table...
