Default '40s "Black" Mahogany Finish

Norm Dresner wrote:
During the '40s and '50s mahogany furniture was finished to an almost
black color. (At least the back of the drawer fronts looks like
mahogany to me, though the rest of the drawer is clearly cherry).
I'm trying to restore a piece and need to recreate this finish.
Anyone know what the process was?

Thanks
Norm


I inherited a 1920s buffet that color. Hate it. AFAIK, there was no
"process" other than stain. Can't give you chapter & verse on the
colors but it is obviously black with red.
