How do I identify cuban mahogany?

Cuban mahogany is notably heavier and denser than other mahogany species, often displaying a dark, rich reddish-brown hue with deep patination. The wood sinks in water and feels exceptionally cool to the touch due to its tight cellular structure.

When was cuban mahogany used?

The timber saw widespread use from the early eighteenth century until supplies diminished in the mid-nineteenth century. Legislation and over-harvesting eventually restricted exports from the Caribbean, leading makers to substitute Honduras or African varieties.

How should I clean this furniture?

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth to prevent particulate accumulation on the polish. Apply traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the timber, avoiding modern silicone sprays that degrade antique polishes.

Did Georgian makers polish the backs?

Cabinetmakers generally finished only the primary visible facades of case pieces like chests and bookcases. Secondary woods such as pine or oak were left unfinished on drawer interiors and backboards.
