Antique Floors

This floor is extraordinary. The boards started life as a huge beam. The beam was taken from some agricultural buildings belonging to a monastery near Dijon in France. About an 8 foot length was cut from the centre of the beam to get rid of some rot. This left 2 pieces, each over 19 feet in length. The boards we produced were up to 26 wide. The colour is the natural aged colour of ancient oak. Imagine, the beam was in buildings known to be at least 400 years old. The original oak tree probably started life as an acorn about 400 years before that
