georgian oak

georgian oak is a rich, warm dark variation of our burgundy and bordeaux oaks. The mature colour is obtained using a centuries old process which gives the timber the deep colour and patina of 18th century hand hewn boards.

georgian oak has all the natural characteristics of our mature french (native european) oaks, including the beautiful medullary rays of the fine quarter sawn boards, and attractive pippy and character knots and shakes in the wood.

rich dark burgundy brown with warm umber red and deep golden undertones. the deep colour accentuates the knots, and georgian oak is at its very best using a mix of character and rustic boards, which enhance the period appearance of the oak.

georgian oak is the perfect choice for period 17th & 18th century buildings. for authenticity a 220mm width, and better still in random widths. or for something different, try the narrow 100mm plank which is reminiscent of the decks of an 18th century sailing ship.

as with all our mature first growth french oaks, georgian oak is strong, hard and immensely durable and stable for installation over ufh.

perfect in georgian/georgian style interiors where a darker floor is specified, and complimented by simple matte painted skirting’s and architraves in historic old whites. but also works well in minimal interiors when used in period conversions, warehouses, barns etc
