Chevron parquet

One of the classical types of parquet is the French herringbone, also known as the Chevron parquet - the type comes from as far back as the sixteenth century when Romans discovered that, by laying out the bricks in herringbone or Chevron pattern, the pavement of the road becomes more stable. Later the Chevron pattern became especially popular in France, after all, the word ‘parquet’ stands for – the use of geometrical elements for the purposes of making a decorative pattern. It was in 16th century France that the Chevron pattern was used to make wooden floors in palaces and manors, and from there, the style was also adopted by the English aristocracy.
