Thread: Antique Furniture - please help identify timber

I'd call it Australian Red Cedar based on the bulk of the pictures, particularly the chair ones. Chance of Honduran Mahogany but style/period/ point of origin all point to high end domestic and ARC was the most valuable timber in the world at that time.

Nice. I like it. I hope you cherish it because that one is worth some love.

Thank you John, much appreciated.

I do love and cherish all things antique. I just wish I knew what timber was used. Some of the chairs are a bit wobbly, so I need to get them repaired.
Here are some more pictures.

I think the entrance table and mirror are walnut. The rest I'm not so sure.

I think the table is walnut.
The chairs are oak, a little hard to tell due to the refinishing, but I still think they are European oak.

Is the timber soft or hard, heavy or light?
