Basket Weave — Warm Golden Reclaimed Victorian Oak Parquet

Basket Weave in Warm Golden is reclaimed Victorian oak with a glowing golden-amber colour, cut into 90mm blocks for a basket-weave pattern. Decades of wear have given the oak a deep, warm patina that new timber cannot copy. It brings instant age and warmth to hallways, kitchens and reception rooms in period homes, and the hardwax oil gives it extra day-to-day resistance.

The hardwax oil on this floor combines an oiled appearance with more day-to-day resistance, and it can be spot-repaired. Suitable for underfloor heating, it is set into a basket-weave pattern by our own installation team across London and the South East, and supplied throughout the UK.

There is a reason Basket Weave — Warm Golden — Reclaimed Oak keeps appearing on shortlists: it flatters the room without asking to be noticed. Underfoot it has the density and quiet that only old-growth oak carries. This is timber with a previous life: the marks, tone shifts and old fixings are original, not applied. In reclaimed oak, hand-graded board by board, the floor adds movement without adding colour — half the design work done at specification.

Surface, upkeep, honesty Tone gets the attention; the aged and sealed finish does the work, deciding how Basket Weave — Warm Golden — Reclaimed Oak cleans, scuffs and softens over the years. An oiled surface is the most forgiving to live with: scuffs and small marks can be spot-repaired with maintenance oil in the affected area, without sanding the whole floor.

A wipe with a wood-floor soap and an occasional re-oil in busy rooms keeps it looking fed. Warm-water underfloor systems suit it well — the spec panel above carries the rating — and seasonal movement stays where it belongs: invisible.

The rooms, and the decision It suits kitchens, living rooms and open-plan spaces; for bathrooms and utility rooms, talk to us first about the right approach. There is more on sourcing, grading and what to expect from old boards on our reclaimed wood flooring in London page. It sits within the Reclaimed Collection.
