As soon as it first began to appear in Europe during the mid 18th Century, Mahogany became the most important timber for furniture production. Although universally noted for its deep red tone and vibrant graining, there are actually several species of Mahogany which were used so you do find differences in the colour and patterning depending on which type was being used. Today Mahogany is on the endangered list so antique and vintage furniture is the only way to acquire genuine pieces. Mahogany carved beautifully and the Victorians in particular loved deep carved scrolls and plinths on their items. Mahogany quickly became the superior timber for the best designers so when you buy antique or Vintage Mahogany you usually get superb craftsmanship and very elegant designs.
Whether you are looking for a vintage Mahogany table or a 19th Century Mahogany Cabinet, LoveAntiques has one of the largest and best selections around.
