Walnut wood

Walnut is the primary hardwood for some of the finest antique furniture.
The wood is moderately heavy, very strong, and exceptionally stable. The colour varies from light gray-brown to dark purplish-brown, patterns from plain to highly figured.
The wood is readily polished and develops a rich patina that grows more lustrous with age.

Curving lines, cabriole legs, an asymmetrical design and ornate carving of natural forms; shells, flowers are the key elements of the Louis XV style. These Rococo influenced beds became popular in Europe in the late Nineteenth Century.
