Amboyna wood, characterised by its uniform small curls and knots was not commonly seen before the second decade of the 19th century. Found on the so-called "Spice Islands" of present-day Indonesia, veneers of this 'exceedingly beautiful and highly ornamental wood' had their Golden Age up until the mid-19th century, when it was superseded by African thuya wood.
