It is also home to some of the world’s best-known champagne producers. Above the plains of Champagne, vast forests provided the wood that this Rare Find came from.
Reims is Antique Oak that was extracted from outbuildings of an old chateau in Reims; the rich, dark timber bearing witness to centuries of use, capturing tales of the past within its wide grain pattern and natural imperfections.
It has now been sympathetically restored while retaining characteristic nail holes, pit saw marks and natural movement, all of which are to be celebrated within an antique wood. We’ve taken nothing away from the natural aged patina either, with time worn edges of these quarter sawn boards so that they can add a quiet confidence to any project they are used in.
