Versailles Collection - Nutmeg

Mahogany wood has been synonymous with luxury since English furniture makers Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton made it their wood of choice in the late 1700s. Its easy workability made it ideal for the hand tools of the day and perfect for the ornate carvings adorning their high-end furniture. It’s rich, pink-tinged tan color that darkened to a deep, lustrous red secured its dominion as the ‘Wood of Kings”. The furniture makers appreciated the tight grain that readily accepted any finish and the worlds consumers loved the rich lustre. This NUTMEG colour is a lighter version of the traditional CHESTNUT colour , beautifully finished in a satin laquer that highlights the grain patterns in the wood. All items that are in our CHESTNUT colour range are now available in NUTMEG colour.
