Old Parquet Floors with Inlays at The Showers Mansion Bloomington, Indiana

The house is The Showers Mansion and it is located in Bloomington, Indiana. We have some date on this particular house, data that helps putting it on the history map. It has been built by a furniture magnate (W. Edward Showers) in the year 1904  (suppose 1904 is the year it was finished). The blogger which has published the image below - http://housesandbooks.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/the-showers-mansion-of-bloomington/ - does mention that ”the house has intricate parquet floors in every room”. Unfortunately there is a single image published. The parquet floor looks in excellent shape over 100 years from installation.

Parquet Flooring - London House

The house is called ”Stratheden House” and it is located on the Bishops Avenue in north London. OK. I have found a couple of excellent parquet flooring images that are worth to publish. You will see how the parquet floors complement the rooms they are installed in. Present is the world famous ”Chevrons” so often confused as ”Herringbone”. Source is an article in the Daily Mail.

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.
