Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, a muralist who became known as the “painter for France”, was an influential artist. Chavannes had the innate ability to create works of art that appealed to the masses, everyone finding something to love and appreciate within his grand masterpieces.Like this prolific painter’s work, so does the European oak Chavannes floor appeal to a variety of design styles. Natural color in each 8 5/8” wide plank is brought forth and emphasized with a reactive stain, giving this beautifully neutral floor a reclaimed and historic appearance. Delicately accentuated with a wire-brushed texture, the wood grain of genuine European oak is on full display and ready to be admired by all those who behold it.

Find a RetailerWhat is Fuming?
Fumed (AKA Smoked) wood has been exposed to ammonia which reacts with the natural tannins in the wood to bring out new colors and variations.
European oak is the preferred species for fuming/ smoking because of its high tannin content which brings out an intense darker color.
Because the intensity of the reaction depends on the tannin content of the wood, each board reacts a little differently from the next, creating color variation that is more pronounced than untreated wood.
It is a common mistake that fuming/ smoking involves application of the ammonia INTO the wood, but this is not the case. The change in color comes from the wood's reaction to the presence of small amounts of ammonia in an enclosed environment. The ammonia causes the tannins in the wood to be brought to the surface. The longer the wood is exposed to the ammonia, the darker it becomes, resulting in range of color from rich brown to almost black.
In Europe, this fuming process has been used for centuries. The premium Timbertop collection boasts many stunning color variated European oak floors masterfully crafted using this time-honored technique.
