High Quality Furniture Made with Spanish Walnut

It is also very probably, that some manufacturers do not specify the species of the walnut wood, in such cases, the furniture may be made of American Walnut, known as "Fake walnut, Black Walnut, and Juglans Nigra” which is of lower quality than the Juglans Regia or Spanish Walnut wood. First of all, we can state with certainty, that the ArtesMoble brand always uses Spanish walnut wood "Juglans Regia” for the manufacturing of our Classic, and Contemporary Furniture Collection. The Spanish walnut wood "Juglans Regia” is an extraordinary value timber, of slow growth, well-known by its gorgeous waving grain and rich shades, scarce wood that guarantees a unique piece of furniture, which is considered a precious wood, used for the manufacturing of high-quality furniture and luxury items. The Spanish Walnut Wood has high timber wastage, it has often been copied but never equaled

The Spanish walnut is cultivated in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic, on humid lands and deep soils. Its cultivation is restricted to the valleys and other environments with the necessary humidity during the summer, in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The best specimens are 25 meters high and produce the highly valued nuts. In order that a Spanish Walnut tree can be suitable for subsequent use for joinery, it is necessary to reach a certain period of growth, which depends on the richness of the soil and its cultivation, ranging from 50 to 100 years old.

Due to its high price, as an alternative, and making the most of the good name of "walnut”, when we refer to luxury furniture and items in Europe more precisely in Spain, the market has been introducing furniture and item manufactured with American black walnut "Juglans Nigra”, also known as "Fake walnut” or the "Poor brother” of the Spanish Walnut, The American walnut is a tree of faster growth than its European brother, it is easily available because of the large extension of lands for planting nuts in California. A type of wood that has black grids and uniforms waving grains, that does not guarantee the uniqueness of the furniture, it is used to manufacture lower quality pieces of furniture, which after a certain length of time it may turn dark. It is worthy of mention, that on the web of the Spanish Ministry of Culture if we look up for furniture manufactured with walnut wood "Juglans Regia” the internet search came up with more than 1000 pieces, while if we look up for furniture in museums made of American Walnut or Juglans Nigra. We do not intend to discredit the American walnut, keeping in mind that it is also a valid option for manufacturing furniture. We just should like to emphasize, that Spanish walnut wood has higher quality, beauty, and uniqueness than the American Walnut.
