We here at The Furniture Guild believe in elegance in the highest form, it’s evident in all that we do. And what better way to showcase this love for sophistication than by the use of walnut in our designs?
You might be wondering why we associate walnut as an indicator for class. As it happens, walnut has a rich history of interesting mythos. According to the Pennsylvania Dutch, a group of walnut trees growing together symbolizes good soil fertility. There are some who believe that the naturally occurring juglone – a chemical that oxidizes the soil and prevents anything from growing near it – giving the tree natural expelling properties. But, in a more fitting sense, there are quite a few stories about walnuts holding small things that might get lost. As a furniture company, we like that little bit.
All these reasons are pretty cool but that’s not why we love it so much.
In truth, walnut is just a beautiful species of wood. Plain and simple. As the only native dark wood to North America, walnut has a rich, deep chocolate color with a purplish hue. Its straight grain is sometimes interspersed with waves and curls that bring character and charm to any piece. We utilize walnut in several of our finishes including our popular French and English Walnut as well as offering upgrade options that add the right amount of charm and sophistication to your vanity like our walnut drawer upgrade or pull out trays (to hold your small things). We believe that any use of walnut is guaranteed to instantly improve the look and quality of your vanity.
