The Reclaimed French Oak Collection
Reclaimed Large Planks
French Oak — France
Unlike most salvaged wood on the market, which is simply cut from old beams, our Reclaimed Large Planks are pulled directly from the flooring of residences and country farmhouses throughout France. Once reclaimed, the antique French oak is meticulously and beautifully restored by the expert craftsmen at our atelier.
A History of Quality
The beauty and distinctive character of our Reclaimed French Oak collection are without parallel. Unlike most reclaimed wood, which is cut from salvaged beams, this unique collection is pulled directly from the floors of French residences and country farmhouses that were originally installed centuries ago. These rare planks, which date back to the 17th century or earlier, are recovered with precision and care from countless locations throughout the country. They display a remarkable diversity of graining and coloration that conveys their rich, storied past. Once reclaimed, every individual plank is meticulously cleaned, replaned and thoughtfully finished by hand. With great respect, the expert craftsmen in our ateliers take pride in this restoration process, breathing new life into these extraordinary antique materials.
