At UKAA we have a large selection of reclaimed wooden flooring for sale which is ideal to use in period properties or modern contemporary homes.
Currently, we have a fantastic batch of hardwood parquet that we have recently advertised on our website.
The technical name for parquet is parquetry and is the process of arranging different sized blocks of wood in a geometric pattern.
This technique dates back from the 1600's and was originally used in Europe.
Different wood is often used to create contrasting colours within the pattern and herringbone is the most popular design.
The popularity of parquet flooring reached its peak in the 1920's but the flooring typing is currently making a big come back and is ideal for reception rooms and kitchens.
Pictured below is a parquet floor fitted in one our customer's homes

Here at UKAA we have a large selection of decorative antique finials and reclaimed wall caps.
Traditionally garden finials were found on period properties and stately homes but today are often used to decorate gateways and entrances.
Originally from the Elizabethan period gate finials were used to demonstrate the wealth of the family and often had elements of the family crest such as lions and eagles within the carvings.
Pineapples were also often used to show hospitality.
During the Victorian period ball finials both made from stone and terracotta were also very popular.
Currently we have a large selection of gate finials in stock including a range of vintage reclaimed ornamental Haddenstone piers and Chilstone capings.
