Our advice Buying Guide
Mahogany is not a type of tree, but rather a species of trees that carry many common traits. Most grow to spectacular heights and have a unique pinkish color. As a tree ages, the pink evolves into a deep reddish-brown tint. Another trait of the mahogany species is the lack of know holes. Because of the long even grain, the rich color and the strength of the wood, mahogany is considered one of the most sought after timber for making furniture.
Often handmade, carved mahogany chairs are majestic in style and rich in form and color. Mahogany is simple to sand and very workable with saws and lathes. Perhaps this is why intricate designs are found in the legs and backs of these classic chairs.
What are some popular styles of carved mahogany chairs?
- Period - Carved mahogany chairs were first built in the 17th century. Royalty was quick to hire craftsmen in producing mahogany furniture because of its uniqueness from other woods. The hardwood is considered timeless for its unshakable strength and ability to hold its value. Period and traditional styles are popular for using mahogany. Replicas such as Rococo, Gothic, Queen Anne, and Victorian styles have their own unique ornate qualities.
- Traditional - Traditional mahogany chairs do not hold as many detailed carvings as period furniture., The time period is not intended to be mimicked, but there is plenty of carved designs and curves to highlight the flawless construction. Cabriole legs and back top cresting that surround grand upholstered padded back and seat, mahogany creates a rich traditional look.
- Contemporary - Slatted high backs and a soft microfiber seat make a simple and sophisticated statement to an oblong dining room table. While ornate designs are absent, the perfect craftsmanship lets you know that this is a handmade quality group of chairs.

Mahogany is a unique hardwood that needs care. Its timeless beauty will last for decades if treated fairly. Polish with an oil finish weekly and wipe off any access with a lint-free cloth.
