The history of using walnut in furniture
Walnut first became a highly prized wood in the U.K. during Queen Anne’s reign during the early 18th century. It was used above all for making fine furniture and was celebrated for its superb colouration. But where do walnut trees typically grow? Walnut is native to North America and two varieties are most commonly found in elegant walnut furniture: the juglans regia and juglans nigra. This botanical name, juglans, stems from Roman mythology. It was believed that Jupiter snacked on walnuts when he lived on earth and the Romans nicknamed them ‘the royal nut of Jupiter’.
