Parquetry was originally used to refer to the design of wood-block floors. The blocks were laid in a pattern to contrast the grain of each piece. This method has been used on furniture veneers to make patterns of contrasting grain. Parquetry generally uses the same wood laid to make geometric designs and differs from Marquetry which creates more pictorial designs.
A decorative geometrical inlay using contrasting grain of different woods. Most prevalent in late 17th century and early 18th century walnut veneered furniture.
Type of decoration made by cutting various types of wood into a geometric pattern before laying in to the surface of furniture to create a smooth surface. (see also Marquetry).

Parquetry is a mosaic of wood used for ornamental flooring. (French parqueterie, from parquet.) The large diagonal squares known as parquet de Versailles were introduced there in 1684, as parquet de menuiserie ("woodwork parquet"), to replace the marble flooring that required constant washing, which tended to rot the joists beneath the floors.
