The foundations of our high end furniture product line, mahogany furniture and antique reproduction furniture are beautiful mahogany solids and hand-selected veneers from various mahoganies. We firmly believe the process of building fine furniture begins with using the best raw materials available. This holds true whether we are creating mahogany dining tables, mahogany dining chairs or any other Indonesian furniture.
Antique Purveyor's exceptionally skilled master craftsmen use only government approved mahoganies, harvested according to federal laws, when making our antique reproduction furniture. Our factory manager travels to Europe to ensure the veneers are clean, crisp and highly attractive. Even though we sell our products over the Internet, we use the same veneer plant favored by major manufacturers because of its ability to consistently produce veneers of exceptional quality.
This furniture factory tour shows some of the federally approved raw materials at our Indonesian furniture factory. Note how federal officials have clearly labeled the lumber that has already been approved. |

Some mahogany trees are enormous. Look at the bicycle at the right of this photo to gauge the size of these mammoth mahogany logs. The chalk numbers displayed on the cross sections are federal reference tracking numbers, assigned to each log as it is approved.

Veneer plant manager and owner, Jeff, is THE MAN when it comes to Indonesia furniture production. Jeff started out as a quality control manager at a different plant but has run his own factory for ten years and now stands behind all of our Indonesian furniture. Here, he inspects hand-selected veneers to be shipped to the factory. Jeff visits our warehouse in New Jersey on a regular basis because at Antique Purveyor we believe that good communication is a vital part of manufacturing fine furniture overseas.

A new Veneer which we will be using for browner finished tables. This Veneer will be able to finish in browner finishes like our Walnut color code. It looks like mahogany, but it is not. It is Cejera wood. Major manufacturers use this for there browner mahogany finishes.
