We just bought an antique table and chairs that was made in Poland about 1900-1910. It is a naturally dark wood, with a grain somewhat like oak, but not as wild. The table leaves were still in the original wood boxes they were brought over in. I just lemon oiled them, and they darkened right up. The style of the table is a heavy plank top round with a big pedestal and four slightly wavy legs. The chairs are very much like a combination of Shaker and Mission. Pretty simple, with legs that were handmade, each one is slightly different.

sounds like walnut or oak. both are widely used for quality furniture. The oak darkens with age and can get almost black in colour- rather typical of Gdansk (Danzig) furniture (very dark, very heavy style)
Of course there were thousands of manufacturing sites in Poland, so try looking for more clues
