Comments: Plum Pudding Mahogany, also known as “plum pudding” or “acajou moucheté,” is a rare and highly sought after variety of mahogany wood with distinctive swirling patterns and rich colors. It was particularly prized in the decorative arts during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, especially in French Empire period furniture.
