The macassar belongs to the family of Ebenaceae and comes from India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Macassar ebony was already traded in early history over the borders of the countries of origin and was rated as an exotic treasure. It is one of the most valuable foreign wood species. It is often mistakenly assumed that macassar ebony must always be charcoal-black, but it is not! There are real ebony varieties whose basic colour is dark green (Macassar verde), dark brown to reddish or whitish (white macassar) and is permeated by more or less light or dark stripes. The macassar veneer was already used in interior design, in the production of furniture and panelling. This is veneer made of real wood. Veneers are only available in rough cut! Colors may vary slightly depending on the type of wood/screen. Please also keep in mind that fine hair cracks can occur especially with wild grains and structures.
