Contemporary old world aesthetics - Inspired by chevron patterns found in the floors of wealthy Spanish homes and throughout Western Europe from the 16th to 18th centuries—our Aventine collection mimics the charm of old world parquetry and the dark, rich textures of floor boards that have aged and built character over years of history. Craftsman-built from solid oak surfaced with quarter oak veneers, this stunning collection is finished by artisan hands with a lush, dark tone accented by subtly weathered brass hardware. Finished pieces are carefully sealed and coated with clear lacquer for added protection and a subtle sheen—evoking a cleaner, more contemporary feel.
