The wood used by furniture makers for antiques is often very characteristic. The type of wood used to make a chair such as that pictured here, at the Wood Reference Collection in Queensland, can give crucial information when investigating whether an object is genuine or a replica.
The Wood Reference Collection is a Queensland Government scientific collection based in Queensland, Australia. It is the oldest xylotheque (also known as a xylarium) of authenticated wood specimens in Australia and the third largest in the nation.[1] It consists of 21 separate collections of wood block samples, including 17 international collections, and a glass slide collection of timber microstructure sections.[2] Together, they provide a comprehensive reference collection of anatomical characteristics for Queensland timbers, and some national and international timbers.[2]
The Wood Reference Collection supports activities integral to the:
Biosecurity Act 2015
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012
