The Country House Antiqued French Oak Flooring Collection is an heroic antiqued French oak wood floor. Heroic in size - widths up to 11" wide to 118" long, incredible texture and nuanced colors. The specific texture of the Country House Collection is smooth to the touch, yet one feels under foot the cascading grain and beautiful curves that vary within each plank. The colors of this noble antiqued French oak floor are ones mirroring the French countryside: the rich tones of the French soil, silver grey and browns of tree bark from French forests or amber colors of wheat from country fields. These colors are not arrived by stains or oils, but by an oxidation process working within the oak tannin that actually changes the composition of the wood fibers. This is a 7-10 step process with drying times in between each plank. The boards are then individually worked and hand-finished to achieve the authenticity of an 18th century patina. The texture and finish cannot be reproduced on site. Over time, these wood floors will continue to age and patina in one's home. They are stunning. Scroll down to view entire Collection.
