Etymology

The term 'parqueting' derives from the French word 'parquet', which means 'a small compartment' and is derived from 'parquer', meaning 'to enclose'. 'Parquet' originated in the early 17th century, when the technique was developed in France. Originally, parqueting referred to a flooring style that used small pieces of wood arranged in a geometric pattern, distinct from the plain, large planks of traditional wooden flooring. During the 18th century, parqueting became increasingly popular in Europe, especially in palaces and noble residences. The intricate designs and craftsmanship in parquet floors were seen as a reflection of wealth and status. Over the years, various patterns and styles, including herringbone and chevron arrangements, have incorporated parqueting, contributing to its lasting appeal in modern architecture and interior design.
