violet wood

noun

First recorded in 1835–45

Above the bed, in an imitation violet-wood frame, hung a daguerreotype of a man.

The violet wood-sorrel is, however, the beauty of the family, and rare enough to require being searched for.

The external covering is usually either mahogany, American walnut, or violet wood (a sort of cedar).

Mirrors everywhere, violet-wood counter, and an odor of perfumery as soon as you entered the shop!

I do not know in what mood Violet Wood arose on that momentous morning of her life—probably in a very pleasant one.
