Reclaimed Wood

Sourced from old constructions

Unlike most of our salvaged and reclaimed oak flooring, these Reclaimed Antique French Oak boards are carefully extracted from actual wood flooring installations from city homes or farmhouses across France. Essentially, these floor planks epitomise the more luxurious side of our Antique wood flooring stories and design concepts. For this reason, detailed project planning with floor plans and layout drawings is essential for a successful installation.

The main difference with Antique French Oak is material scarcity and provenance, and just like with a centuries-old Antique cabinet, there is a limited supply of material available. Unlike other Antique collections that are easier to procure, they are cut from old structural beams such as our European Antique Oak or our Antique Heritage Oak,

From large-format country-style boards to a more refined Parisian parquetry style, each Antique piece of wood is carefully inspected, graded, re-machined and kiln-dried for added stability and simplifying the installation process. Unusual challenges occur regularly when crafting these beautiful, one-of-a-kind floors. So, a rigorous restoration process by our expert craftsmen and women at our workshop in the North of England is essential.

* The floor in the last 2 two pictures was ‘cleaned only and not sanded’. This is why the wood has maintained an unfinished, raw wood appearance.

 

Antique Oak Collection

At the intersection of slow design and old fashioned craftsmanship⁠, life starts again as New Beginnings for these beautiful pieces of Antique Oak reclaimed from buildings across France that are 100 to 300 years old.

Created with craft and passion in Cheshire where we combine practical and technical know-how with a genuine appreciation for the craft.⁠ There’s no Fast-Fashion here, timelessness takes time.

Hand-Crafted in Cheshire

Our methodology behind sourcing and crafting Antique Wood has been developed through decades of experimentation. As with any skilled Antique restoration, we are crafting a legacy that will last for generations.

In a modern world where manual skills are shunned, we believe in them because of the sheer joy of connecting, touching, doing and becoming. We pride ourselves in craftsmanship, producing something of beauty is one of mankind’s truest sources of happiness.

Turning slow production and slow design into slow living.
