Additional Information
Style: Napoleon III Revival
Ripresa stilistica, del 900, delle forme proprie dello stile Napoleone III (1848-1870)
Main essence: Brazilian Rosewood
It is a hard, light blond wood, but with strong red and pinkish veins, which is obtained from tropical trees similar to rosewood. Its veins are reminiscent of striped tulips, which is why it is called tulipwood in English-speaking areas. It is used for inlays, often combined with bois de violette. In the 1700s and 1800s it was highly appreciated and used in France and England for precious veneers. It gives off scent for decades if not centuries after curing.
