Main essence:

Ash Tree

Ash wood is divided into two types. The first, white ash, is obtained from the fraxinus americana which grows in North America and Europe, is very elastic and resistant but subject to woodworm. It is used in the construction of furniture and more rarely as an ornament. The second type, the common ash, is obtained from the fraxinus excelsior which grows in Europe, northwestern Africa and western Asia, and was used by English and American cabinetmakers to make chairs.

Mahogany

It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.
