My parents have a "few" pieces of furniture that resemble that wood pattern. If I am not mistaken it is called Zebra Wood due to the unique pattern of the grain.
Very pretty piece!
It's not Zebra wood, it's quarter sawn oak, a standard material for the period. Zebra wood has a pattern of light & bark bands running parallel to each other.
