Ebony has specific uses due to its particular properties (hardness, unusual colour, longevity), its price and its weight (extremely dense so very heavy).
It is nearly exclusively used for making small elements such as, for example, piano keys or knife handles. It is sometimes found adorning artistically crafted stringed-instruments or in the form of small and precious jewellery caskets or the like.
Ebony has been used since high antiquity for its colour, often to make small precious objects and more rarely furniture, in which it could be set in contrast with ivory or mother-of-pearl.
The use of ebony has continued through the ages and it has given its name in French to those who work it: "ébénistes" (furniture and cabinet-makers).
