mahoganies

Reddish-brown furniture woods

Mahoganies is the plural of mahogany, a tropical hardwood prized for its rich reddish-brown color and durability.

The wood is used in fine furniture, musical instruments, and boat building.

The term extends to the color itself—a deep warm brown: The designer chose mahoganies and burgundies for the autumn collection.
