Parquetry with Inlays - Rastatt Palace | Germany

Rastatt Palace. Germany.

A few details - just a few lines - about the baroque style palace it would sound like this:

-the oldest Baroque residence in the Upper Rhine Valley
-commissioned by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelmof Baden-Baden
-architect being the Italian Domenico Edigio Rossi, who previously worked for Vienesse nobility
-completed on the first quarter of 18th century

Parquetry inlays have been used inside and there are two images to be shown to illustrate it:

 

Parquet Floor Inlay - Yusupov Palace, Sankt Petersburg, Russia

Parquet. Again in Russia. The Yusupov Palace is a must visit with reference to parquet flooring designs. But it is not the only one. Other palaces have their own designs. It was, most probably, a competition between extremely rich people at the time to have their palaces installed with the best parquetry inlay designs.

Image 1: Probably restored or completely reinstalled. Absolutely beautiful parquetry work.

Parquet Flooring Design - Rossborough House, Ireland

The Rossborough House has been completed in 1750. The parquet flooring installed in the saloon is a remarkable piece of old work. Made of Mahogany and Satinwood. The room has a 33 x 26 ft. (10x 8 metres) size. We don't have a date for the parquet flooring, unfortunately. For example as the official site - www.rossboroughhouse.ie - mentions the Genovese velvet in the same room is dated 1870.

Parquet Border Inlay - Milan, Italy

Milan, Italy. An apartment with an old parquet floor arrangement (here we have a Herringbone layout) displaying also a parquet floor border inlay. A classic parquet flooring installation. Impossible to verify the time details related to the parquet floor because - as happens so frequently - the parquet flooring is a side of non-interest in articles about interior design.
