Rio rosewood is the most sought-after and most expensive type of wood of all rosewood species. Rio rosewood (also known as Brazilian rosewood) is a type of wood from trees of the Dalbergia genus (Dalbergia) from the papilionaceous subfamily. Rosewood has been a highly valued precious wood for centuries. Since 1968, there has been an export ban on logs of this species in Brazil. In 1992, Rio rosewood was placed under species protection and in 1998 under stricter species protection. Until then, it was highly sought-after for high-quality designer furniture and executive office furnishings as well as for musical instruments due to its unique sound properties.
There is a certain risk of confusion with the term rosewood, which is called palissandre in French, rosewood in English and jacarandá in Portuguese. The English term rosewood is almost always incorrectly translated as "rosewood", but does not correspond to the German term Rosenholz, which refers to a single species of rosewood, the so-called Bahia rosewood '(Dalbergia decipularis)'. The genus Jacaranda, in which there is also a so-called rosewood tree (blue-flowering Jacaranda), is also different from the genus Dalbergia and therefore has nothing to do with rosewood.

Color tone:
Unique nuances from orange to dark reddish brown with almost black heartwood that runs through the surface as if painted.
The shine in the photos or grayish or milky areas are due to exposure or lighting (reflections). The surfaces are silky gloss.
Dimensions:
W: 145cm; D: 73cm; H: 73cm
Condition:
The absolute madness! The desk is in excellent to mint condition. It has been lovingly restored by a restorer using traditional and natural materials. This desk outshines pretty much everything we have seen in terms of depth, vibrancy and nuance of rosewood over the years! It could hardly be better!
