Mahogany furniture has always been a favorite among consumers due to its solid and durable materials, and its value has steadily increased in recent years. However, many people are still confused about what exactly qualifies as mahogany furniture. According to professionals, the term "redwood" is often used loosely, and not all so-called redwood is actually red.
He Rui, a senior engineer from the Yunnan Provincial Forestry Department, explained that there is no naturally occurring species called "redwood." The term "mahogany furniture" originated during the Tang Dynasty, when items were made from Zhuhong, which was later referred to as "Dahong" or "Zhuzhu," hence the name "mahogany."
In modern times, the concept of mahogany furniture goes beyond just the material—it also includes traditional craftsmanship and cultural significance. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, seven types of wood have been recognized as redwood, including rosewood, sandalwood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, and wenge. These woods are primarily sourced from Southeast Asia. However, not all of them are red—such as Hainan huanghuali, which is yellow, and ebony, which is black.
After 2000, the Redwood National Standard categorized 5 main groups, 8 subgroups, and 33 types of wood under the redwood classification. This includes the previously mentioned seven types, as well as striped ebony, mainly from Sulawesi and the Philippines. Despite this standardization, there remains significant debate within the industry regarding what truly constitutes mahogany. Some believe only rosewood qualifies, while others argue that sandalwood rosewood and huanghuali should be considered above mahogany. There are even those who feel the national standard is too restrictive and that more wood types should be included. Others maintain that only the seven Southeast Asian woods can be classified as true mahogany.
