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.

Donatella Versace's House - Parquet Panels with Design

A place where the wood has been used in the form of parquet panels - Donatella Versace's house. The rest of the room has not been neglected. The below images show two parquet panels patterns.

Parquet de Versailles

Parquet de Versailles - a parquet panel design internationally known and used. From Australia to Canada the Versailles is present in various houses. Probably the name associated with the famous palace makes it so popular. I have found a remarkable arrangement that contains the Parquet de Versailles panel all over the house. Where? France. Voila!

Chevrons or Point d'Hongrie Parquet Flooring

I have been frequently encountered (on various places) people that take the Herringbone parquet flooring arrangement as Chevrons.

I have to say that today the parquet flooring is less known (and used) than it should be.

Two images of Chevrons (in France called Point d'Hongrie) below from the eclecchic blog.

 

Parquet Flooring in The House with High Ceilings

I have recently discovered a set of images about a house with high ceilings on a blog I sometimes visit - the eclecchic.

The house features a few parquet flooring arrangements - starting with the simple Herringbone to parquet panels framed by parquet borders.

Even the kitchen benefited by the a solid installation (parquet panels with design + parquet border).

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any information about the location, year of the house.

Parquet with Border Inlay Motif

Another sample of an old and very well maintained parquet floor installation - most probably in the New York area - displaying a chess layout in the central area surrounded by a hardwood floor border inlay. The same installation technique: nailed down down piece-by-piece.
