Satinwood also known as yellow wood, was one of the most beautiful and highly valued woods used in the latter part of the 18th century. First imported from the East Indies, by the mid 1770's it's popularity soared because of it's beautiful graining. Also satinwood had become increasingly abundant, and it's durability and exquisite finish resulted in it's immense popularity among society's wealthiest homeowners. The elegance of satinwood soon helped trigger a resurgence of neo-classical taste in furniture-making. Painted furniture was very much in vogue at the time and satinwood was the perfect canvas. Small painted tables, chairs, and cabinets were in demand and cabinet makers like Hepplewhite and Sheraton were closely associated with using satinwood. The light tones of satinwood worked beautifully as a ground for marquetry, however taste for painted satinwood furniture grew, and since painted decoration does not fade, it proved to be a more cost effective method of decoration than marquetry. The most sought after furniture painters of the day, Kauffman, Cipriani, and Pergolesi were employed by Hepplewhite, Sheraton, and the Adams Brothers to help create this beautiful furniture which I hope to introduce you to through this blog post.

It is widely regarded as the finest Palladian house in England, and deservedly so.

The architectural quality of its interiors is second to none, and the state of preservation is phenomenal. See for yourself - here we have picked a few
About Wearing a layer of Austrian walnut root veneer, this secrétaire has a unique grain that one does not often see; it swirls and undulates across the surface drawing the eye along in a mesmerizing dance. And that’s just the beginning! A geometric inlay frames the door and each drawer. Inside is equally as impressive with its arrangement drawers and cupboards, and it's use of contrasting veneer and inlays. Seldom have we seen such impressive use of burled grain.
