St. Petersburg Russian Palaces - The Place of Exquisite Parquetry Works
If somebody wants to see a collection of fine parquet works one place to go (or view) is St. Petersburg and its palaces. The small to large compositions (the most expensive parquetry option) are available for visitors. Fortunately some of them do appreciate the floor beneath their feet and take pictures we all can share.
Late 1800's parquet border inlay installed with strip hardwood flooring
A parquet border inlay installed with strip (apparently Oak hardwood flooring) in a late 1800's house. The beauty of the patina visible. Back in the age when the parquet flooring was in fashion, when the good craftsmanship and taste in wood flooring was, probably, more constant than today. A source of inspiration.
