PARQUET As large quantities of antique parquet panels are no longer available, we manufacture new parquet panels made from antique French oak floorboards. Using time-honored methods, each panel is made with mortises, tenons, and oak pegs. No glue is used in the construction, which allows for natural expansion and contraction thereby reducing splitting. It is now possible to own a floor made from 18th century French oak, to an 18th century pattern, using 18th century techniques with all the warmth and ambience of a period patterned floor. We also offer these antique patterns, made with the same care and attention, using new baked European oak.
