gaps between skirting board and parquet floor

HI We have recently moved into a house and under the carpet is the original parquet floor in pretty good condition. However around the edges of the room there is a gap between the bottom of the skirting board and the floor .I think in my old house the skirting went over the parquet , this is not he case here.The gaps vary in size some barely there some substantial enough to place a finger between edge of parquet and skirting . I love parquet floors so Is there a way of filling these gaps ?or do I go back to using a carpet which would solve the problem ? Any help , much appreciated!
