Sheesham wood, in other words Indian Rosewood or DALBERGIA SISSO is a simple deciduous tree found mainly in India, Kenya and Madagascar. These trees usually reach a height of 15 to 20 meters, although some of them grow up to 40 meters. The wood obtained from them gives the interior warmth and refinement. The original and special brown-dark purple colour with oily rings distinguishes this stylish species from many others. If you’re looking for unique furniture that will make your interior stand out among the others, sheesham wood is a top choice. Below is an example of our furniture made of this type of wood.
