Kingwood
Often confused with Rosewood, this lighter, more orangey wood from the same species can share a lot of similar aesthetic attributes to Rosewood. It has a defined grain with darker brown and black patterned outlines contrasting against a lighter background.
Kingwood is a native wood of Brazil, sourced from the Dalbergia Cearensis species of tree. It was a popular choice for late Georgian, William IV and early Victorian boxes, but seemed to lose favour from the late 1850’s onwards.
