Burr elm chest of drawers of mid-18^th century style with antiqued ‘mulberry’ finish. This special finish has been developed to emulate Mulberry Wood furniture of the early 1700s and incorporates details such as uneven surfaces or cracked mouldings. For many years and even today this furniture has been wrongly described and sold as mulberry wood. In fact, the woods actually used were mostly burr elm, burr oak and burr maple and then finished in very special way to achieve the startling ‘tortoiseshell’-type effect.
