African Blackwood is one of the world's densest and most prized hardwoods, renowned for its deep, near-black tone with subtle purple-brown undertones. Its fine, even grain and natural lustre lend an air of understated luxury to both classic and contemporary interiors. Exceptionally hard and smooth to the touch, African Blackwood polishes to a rich finish and develops a deepening character over time.
