Reims Antique Oak

Reims is a city rich in medieval and modern history. It was the traditional site of the crowning of the kings of France and where Germany offered an unconditional surrender at the end of World War II. It is also home to some of the world’s best-known champagne producers. Above the plains of Champagne, vast forests provided the wood that this Rare Find came from. Reims is an Antique Oak that was extracted from the outbuildings of an old chateau in Reims; the rich, dark timber bearing witness to centuries of use, capturing tales of the past within its wide grain pattern and natural imperfections. It has now been sympathetically restored while retaining characteristic nail holes, pit saw marks, and natural movement, all of which are to be celebrated within an antique wood. We’ve taken nothing away from the naturally aged patina either, with time-worn edges of these quarter-sawn boards so that they can add quiet confidence to any project they are used in. Architectural details are available upon request and are made to complement the tonal values of your floor. Please care for this floor using Care System 2.
