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 high-end 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 plants that high-end furniture brands use because of their ability to consistently produce veneers of exceptional quality.

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.
