Parquet a history.
Ancient art and architecture.
Herringbone flooring was used in ancient Rome and in Egyptian jewellery before that.
Chevon parquet flooring also started it origins in ancient Rome but came to prominence in the 16th century in many of Europe’s palaces.
Versailles panels came to prominence in the Versailles Palace and an example of our panels laid diagonally can be seen here. Each panel has its own border which makes it stand out from other installations.
You can still see old Roman roads that were built using these methods.
The Renaissance began in Florence around 1400. Prosperity in banking and trade created a strong economy. There was a lot of building activity. The Medici, Pitti, and Strozzi families possessed the money to commission fine homes and great works of art. They also fostered the study of classicism, which produced enthusiasm for Ancient Roman art and architecture.
Rome became an artistic centre where popes and wealthy families commissioned architecture and art. There were great accomplishments in both art and science. It was also the time of several great artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
Our herringbone and chevron parquet flooring solutions are perfect for any location, from restaurant’s to homes, castles and mansions.
Our collection is based on our experiences of working with the best interior designers and being an Industry Partner with the British Institute of Interior Design helps us to understand what our clients need.
We have a large selection of sizes and tones of parquet flooring with chevron and herringbone flooring starting at 70mm x 350mm up to any size our clients request.
Our collection.
Leonardo & Medici.
The Medici Collection uses different coloured and finished herringbone parquet blocks installed together to create a stunning floor that is different.
The images below show 3 variations on a theme using our 70mm x 350mm engineered parquet blocks, one with a natural oak colour and the other fumed. (TW E955 and TW E954). It is easy to create your own unique floor using different finished parquet bocks.
You can create you own design using different finished herringbone blocks in any combination you like.
Our collection.
Point D’Hongrie.
Our other collection is “Point D’Hongrie” which is French, which we are sure was influenced by Ancient Rome when they travelled through Gaul. These are 60- degree chevron engineered wood floors.
We have our prime black American walnut chevron shown below which is 90mm x 450mm long.
We then created a fumed band sawn chevron that was used in an apart hotel called The Place in Manchester near Piccadilly station. Anyone ca see this in situ and it has been there for over 5 years.
Our collection.
Italian
The Italian Collection is a more traditional design with narrow boards which were very popular, as well as chevron and herringbone parquet wood flooring.
Below are straight narrow boards 90mm wide in our natural unfinished look.
