“Herringbone-laid wood floors are particularly refined, durable and easy to maintain: the choice of antique wood adds class and charm to an already sophisticated and tasteful furniture choice. An antique herringbone parquet floor is usually made by overlapping layers of hardwood and softwood to ensure vigor and thickness of the noble wood. The juxtaposition and combination of different colors among the various boards laid alternately succeeds in uniquely enhancing domestic or professional environments. Antique herringbones can be designed by choosing from a variety of thicknesses and sizes, and completed with handcrafted end workings and patinas.

There are no limits to the possibilities of choice: almost any wood species can be used to make antique herringbone floors, although we favor the use of oak, oak, chestnut, elm, fir and larch because of the excellence of their aesthetic characteristics, strength and ease of workmanship. By dynamically integrating handcrafted techniques and the use of state-of-the-art machinery that allows us to create and work even very narrow planks with skill and precision, we are able to create and lay perfect flooring. The starting point is always the proper care and preservation of materials, subjected to quality treatments in order to offer class, prestige, elegance and durability.”

“Prefinished parquet floors are supplied already varnished or oiled, which means they are ready for laying, with important advantages on cost and timing: quick laying means a few hours of labor, as well as a significant reduction in waiting time before furniture can be placed and the floor walked on. The noble layer, i.e., the walkable surface of prefinished parquet, is characterized by different nuances and grain patterns, which vary significantly depending on the type of wood chosen. Usually, 3 layers of flooring are unified in the making of traditional antique prefinished floors with solid antique wood. Our prefinished or antique wood floors predominantly use fine woods such as oak, elm, larch, and fir that have been properly reclaimed, cleaned, and treated. The thickness is often decided according to customer preference, as are the widths and lengths, which can also be irregular in order to give a much more natural look to the floor.

Prefinished floors are then refinished through the use of natural waxes, which make your antique wood floor even more beautiful, durable and easily washable. In any case, in case of damage, scratches or other structural damage to the prefinished, it is always possible to intervene later to restore the parquet. Restoration of the floor can be done by replacing planks or entire portions without the need to sand the entire room; or, if the problem is general deterioration of the protective layer, it is possible to intervene by sanding or brushing and subsequent reprocessing.”

Furnishing domestic, professional and commercial environments with class and style is an increasingly popular priority. This desire for beauty, uniqueness and customization also invests outdoor environments: gardens and terraces, especially for those who live in cities, are spaces from which one wishes to derive maximum benefit, transforming them into cozy settings in which to experience moments of pleasant conviviality and relaxation. To make the most refined outdoors more pleasantly usable, design offers various shading elements with excellent performance. Nothing, however, compares with the beauty of an antique pergola, a very decorative and sophisticated classy structural element. Consisting of a latticework of transverse and longitudinal beams, antique wood arbors and pergolas can serve as scenic supports for fruit plants or climbers. Wisteria, ivy or American vines wrap around the support making idyllic vistas in your outdoor space. Ideal for shading sunny areas of gardens and terraces while providing scenic support for climbers, antique pergolas are striking architectural solutions that can uniquely enhance the finest spaces.

The unique beauty of salvaged antique lumber is maintained intact over time even in the face of the wearing action of weather phenomena thanks to special protective treatments. All this, of course, is not at the expense of the naturalness and originality of the proposed antique pergolas, but allows them to be made more durable without affecting their unquestionable aesthetic value.

The revaluation of old bricks can be performed for several reasons. Many of our clients with particularly sophisticated taste choose to recover these building products to renovate the facade or portions of existing masonry: the goal is to preserve the authentic charm of the building, and to make it completely safe. Restoration work of this kind is both dutiful and far-sighted, as old bricks are not prone to lose their value; on the contrary: prestige and charm of handcrafted building materials is enhanced over time. Provided, of course, that such materials are properly preserved and, when necessary, cleaned and restored. Antica Edilizia undertakes expert analysis of antique bricks to determine their degree of strength and structural reliability. This initial analysis is followed by the design of portions of the habitation, with the antique bricks as the absolute protagonists. Subjected to careful workmanship, which knows how to sanitize them and make them healthy, in the service of insulation and structural performance, the bricks thus restored are ready to give life to scenic facades, sublime ancient porticoes and, why not, to give life to interesting games of niches and walls, both external and internal.

The ever-changing veins, dusty colors, and irregular shape are symptomatic features of lived-in products that have known history and know how to preserve it in their essence. Here, choosing to revalue antique bricks means giving importance to the historical and artistic aspect of one’s home, a building of cultural importance, a facility open to the public, or a high-end farmhouse.

It is always our experienced personnel who, using appropriate precautions, recover the still usable lumber and other building materials from buildings destined for demolition, and then take them to our well-stocked company workshop in Follina (TV).

Here, the ancient material thus extracted and always handled with extreme care, undergoes lengthy and complex recovery treatments capable of restoring its ancient splendor. Properly examined, analyzed and catalogued according to type, age and origin, the antique building material is then cleaned and treated to eliminate any pests and ensure the highest quality in the final intended application.

We, who grew up between the Veneto and Lombardy regions surrounded by the fragrance steeped in the history of antique wood, know in depth the value of different materials: this is why for several generations we have been carrying on a tenacious work of recovering, making and enhancing antique building materials, which find interesting uses in the field of restoration and building construction. Antique wood beams and planks are recovered, cleaned and treated in order to restore them to their former glory and make them suitable for inclusion in classic or modern construction and restoration. Oak, oak, elm, larch, and fir are just a few of the woods available in our warehouses, and used as the basis for the creation of characteristic floor and wall coverings of great value.

We have been operating in the antiques sector for years, dealing with the recovery, preservation and supply of antique wood for building construction, furniture or renovation. Once cleaned, dried, and treated with innovative techniques to restore its original characteristics, reclaimed antique wood can be used to create uniquely designed floors, antique staircases, paneling, ceilings, and ceilings. Among the different types of wood, oak, oak, chestnut, fir, elm and larch are the timbers that are best suited for reuse, offering the same performance as a new material, with the added inimitable charm of the antique. Antique oak is one of the most resistant woods to wear and tear and climatic variations. Particularly refined and always unique due to its characteristic grain patterns or “mirrors,” antique oak is perfect for making antique parquet planks and boards, suitable for classic and modern furnishings.

Antique larch with a reddish color that tends to darken over time is made strong by its high resin content, a characteristic that makes it perfect for carpentry work and the construction of first and second patina floors. Antique elm has a light, bright color with particularly elegant color veining, making it a perfect wood for creating parquet floors and prestige furniture. Antique chestnut with its typical brown color and rustic, lived-in appearance guarantees durability, which is why it is well suited for the creation of outdoor and indoor furniture, beams and even flooring.”
