We have been trying to identify exactly where this wonderful wood originated and have received the following from one of the most prestigious wood identification companies in the world AIS of Maryland USA. ( full report available on request ) Andaman Padauk (Pterocarpus dalbergioides/ Fabaceae-Faboideae), is found only in the Andaman Islands; growing in deciduous and semi moist deciduous forests, usually on or near riverbanks. It is also known as Andaman Redwood or Vermillion Redwood (United States). The tree reaches a height of 80 to 120 feet, boles straight and cylindrical, clear to 40 feet; trunk diameters 2 to 4 feet or more above the buttresses. The Andaman Islands were under British control from the 18th Century until 1947 The table was bought by us in 2017 and came from an old priory in England, It is therefore most likely that it was made for a high ranking British official in the mid 19th Century. The colour and superb patination is all original and there has been no restoration. Redwood is considered to be a symbolism of wellness, safety , longevity, wisdom and communication." to walk in a Redwood forest is to enter natures cathedral " Above all the tree, symbolizes vitality and longevity as it can grow for more that 1000 years !
