Description
The Blackfriar sits at the cooler end of The Old World Collection — a gentle silver-grey oak with soft mineral undertones and a naturally weathered clarity. The palette is understated yet atmospheric, carrying a calm, coastal lightness that softens the grain and highlights subtle age-worn markings. Its character feels quiet, composed and elegantly muted, offering a refined alternative to traditional greys.

Who Are We?

The Old World Collection

The Old World Collection is our most accomplished interpretation of antique timber—a new oak floor crafted to feel unmistakably historic. Using carefully sourced Old Growth French Oak, the boards are harvested with respect for the forest, then aged through a considered, time-led process that reveals a depth normally associated with reclaimed material. The surface carries the calm irregularities, softened movement and lived-in warmth of older wood, while still offering the stability and performance of a newly manufactured floor.

Created in Cheshire

Created in Cheshire, each board is shaped using our exclusive Plucked technique—a process far removed from conventional wire brushing. This method lifts and releases the grain in a way that introduces natural variation, delicate undulation and a tactile depth reminiscent of centuries-old timber. The result is a surface that feels both familiar and freshly reimagined: authentic in character, contemporary in execution, and unmistakably Re:claimed in spirit.
