Ebony is a fine grained timber of several species of the genus Diospyros, which also includes persimmon trees the hard wood of which is not so highly prized.
In Antwerp at the end of the 16th century, fine cabinets for the luxury trade were made of ebony, whose dense hardness lent itself to refined moldings framing finely detailed pictorial panels with carving in very low relief (bas-relief), usually of allegorical subjects, or taken from classical or Christian history.
Another ebony species better known as a persimmon tree (D. virginiana) is in fact a cream light coloured timber with the off-white darker colour center timber being discarded.
