What is flame mahogany?

Flame mahogany is a highly decorative wood veneer sourced from the branching points of the mahogany tree. Cabinet makers prized this striking grain pattern for prominent surfaces on high-status furniture during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Where were secret drawers placed?

Secret drawers were typically concealed behind false architectural fronts, within plinth bases or beneath internal sliding trays in large wardrobes. Cabinet makers designed these hidden compartments to secure valuables, private documents and personal currency.

How do I care for antique mahogany?

Antique mahogany benefits from stable room temperatures away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent wood splitting. Regular dusting with a dry, soft cloth preserves the natural patina without the need for heavy chemical polishes.
