A piece of history
- Written by Staff
The new range of boards “Settecento” founds its strong point in its exclusiveness. The thousands of “Bricole” (the antique boat anchor posts) that punctuate and characterize the most famous lagoon in the world, will be used, with a significant work of ecologic recovering, and converted into antique pieces. The more of 300 years of immersion of the Bricole in the salty water, have transformed their Oak (but also Elm, Acacia and Beech) into an ossified and extremely steady material. From it, Old Floor is getting 3 layer boards, with a noble lamella 5 mm thick, supplied in random widths up to mm 240 and lengths up to cm 250. “Settecento” will be identify by hand made craftings and oiled-waxed finishes: antique liking, whitened or natural finishes, with unrepeatable shading thanks to the contrast with the surface they act on. To complete the range also Rialto and Cà Foscari patterns, along with the everlasting Hungarian Herringbone, available with the same craftings and finishes of boards or, if necessary, personalized. The exclusiveness of “Settecento” will be certified and every single lot will be accompanied by a document stating the origin and dating of the utilized raw material.
