Remember, it is a *parquet* floor...no reason it couldn't be walnut.
And yes, the wood will wear. So? Takes a while to wear through...had a
teak parquet floor once, oiled, hadn't "worn through" in 16 years. Even
if it had, it is duck soup to re-oil a floor.

Which is why I wouldn't use a top coat surface finish. Or stain. No
need to sand to reapply oil.
