The reddish-white spruce wood becomes yellowish-brown over time due to the influence of air and light. We find spruce and fir wood in antiques of all epochs. The wood was easy to get and easy to work with. It was used as solid wood for rural and simple furniture. For noble veneered furniture the softwood was used as base wood for the veneer. Parts that were not visible from the outside, such as back panels, construction wood or shelves, were often made of softwood. Spruce and fir were also used as base wood for painted furniture. Painting was not limited to ornamental or figurative painting, but often a precious wood imitation was painted on the cheaper softwood. Even today the wood of spruce and fir is still very popular and is suitable for all kinds of woodwork in interiors. The wood is very light and can be dried easily and quickly. The spruce wood used in the epoches our antique furniture comes from Central Europe.
