<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 272599, member: 5170"]Yes, coromandel is a rare wood from India and southeast Asia. It was pretty rare in furniture even in the 19th century. It was kind of like rosewood in that it was used for statement pieces, including alot of high-end jewelry boxes. It has a beautiful striped grain. I can't imagine that anyone would lacquer over it, or that it could even still be legally obtained at this stage of the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
