Beautiful Mahogany Tables

You really can't beat mahogany for high end and luxury furniture. A hard wood, with a deep tone, mahogany is perfect for any piece of furniture that will receive elaborate or ornate carvings or inlays. Mahogany furniture pieces are some of the most beautiful pieces of art in the world, and -- if properly maintained -- can last several lifetimes, making them a smart choice for collectors and homeowners alike.

Oval or rectangular, a high end mahogany table should look good with insert leaves or without. Additionally, it should fit the design of the rest of the room it is being placed in. Mahogany is a very forgiving material, when it comes to design. It is not too dark -- like cherry wood -- and is not too light, so a great variety of styles and colors will match it quite nicely.




One factor to always consider when shopping for a high end dining room table -- mahogany or otherwise -- you should look first to the feet. The feet will give you the best idea of the quality of the piece. The more ornately carved, the higher the value should be of that piece, though this rule is not written in stone, and can change if there are painted medals or other adornments.
