San Domingo mahogany, a prized wood native to the Caribbean, has been highly sought after for centuries due to its durability, rich color, and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time. The wood was primarily sourced from the island of Hispaniola, now home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. San Domingo mahogany became popular in English furniture making during the Georgian and Regency periods, from around 1720 to 1830. Its earliest recorded use in Europe dates back to 1584, when it was incorporated into the construction of the El Escorial palace near Madrid, commissioned by King Philip II.
