Description:
Australian Cedar table c.1830 Australian Red Cedar (Toona Australis) was a fashionable substitute for the mahogany that was vogue in Britain during the earlier part of the colonial period. Made from red cedar with European pine as a secondary timber, it was not uncommon to use recycled packing materials as a secondary timber to compensate for the shortage of seasoned, dried local timbers. This table, unusually square with a single drawer, was probably imported from Australia soon after it was made. Height 76 cm Width 92 cm
