Ancient Kauri wood, also known as swamp Kauri, is a rare and ancient timber sourced from prehistoric Kauri trees (Agathis australis) that were buried in peat swamps on New Zealand's North Island. These trees, which can be up to 50,000 years old, have been preserved in an oxygen-depleted environment, preventing decomposition and resulting in wood with remarkable beauty and iridescence. It is highly sought after for its unique qualities, ideal for furniture, art, and architectural uses. Renowned for its environmental sustainability and rich, dynamic grain patterns,
