Set the Medieval Water Jug down the middle of a long table and the room starts to feel like a feast before anyone has sat down. Warm honey oak, dark iron and a curved strap handle give the table a proper old world centre, which is exactly what a medieval, Viking or fantasy feast calls for, and it looks right at home at a winery dinner too.

Oak and Iron Table Styling for Old World Dinners

The oak is quarter sawn, so the grain reads as a flecked pattern from across the room rather than a flat brown. The iron collar is worked into a pouring lip, the handle is one heavy curved strap, and riveted iron bands hold the belly and the foot.

The finish is satin, not raw or flaking, so it sits as comfortably on white linen at a winery table as on bare timber at a barn wedding. Stand it on a satin table runner in forest green or deep red and the oak glows against the colour. Under candlelight the iron goes near black, so the table has depth in it before the first course lands.

Made for Feasts, Wineries and Tavern Bars

Use the Medieval Water Jug as a:

  • Long table centrepiece at a medieval or Viking feast
  • Head table anchor for a fantasy themed dinner
  • Bar back feature at a tavern, speakeasy or cellar door night
  • Table styling for a rustic barn or vineyard wedding
  • Prop for food photography and set dressing

Build a Medieval Banquet Around It

Say the brief is a company medieval banquet in a plain function room. Hang the Castle Interior backdrop behind the head table, run green satin runners down the long tables with a crystal candelabra every few places, and stand the jug on the runner midway along the head table, where the candlelight lands on it. From the doorway the room is green, gold and dark iron, and the function room is gone. The small timber wine barrel does the same job behind the bar.

We Can Style the Whole Room

Most people come to us for one piece and don't realise we can dress the whole event. On the tables we hire tablecloths, chair covers and candelabras. Around the room we bring in drapes, chandeliers, lighting and more event prop hire, and our medieval event theme shows the full look. Tell us your theme and venue and our team will put it together.

It's a decorative piece, so it stays on the table for looking at. Your drinks go in your own jugs.

Answers to your questions

Can we pour drinks from the Medieval Water Jug?

It’s hired as a decor piece rather than serviceware, so it sits on the table to be looked at and drinks come from your own jugs.

Is it a real antique?

We don’t put an age or a country on it. What you get is oak with a flecked grain, worked iron and a satin finish, and on a table it looks old world straight away.

What goes with it on a long table?

A satin runner underneath in green or deep red, candelabras either side, then bread boards, pewter and greenery down the table. A castle backdrop behind the head table finishes the room.

Can you style the rest of the room too?

Yes. We hire the tablecloths, runners, chair covers, candelabras, drapes and lighting as well, and our team can set the whole room up for you.

Do you deliver to Brisbane?

Yes. We deliver, place and collect across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Tweed, and nationwide for larger events. Delivery is quoted for your venue when you book.

How far ahead should I book it?

As soon as you have a date. Winter feasts and end of year dinners book up first.
