Three misunderstandings of mahogany furniture collection

The collection of mahogany furniture has become a kind of fashion in today's society. In fact, the collection of mahogany furniture is very deep, and people who are new to the industry should understand three misunderstandings. Today Xiao Bian took everyone to look at these misunderstandings.

Misunderstanding 1: Redwood has a collection value The so-called redwood mainly includes five genera and eight categories, divided into Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Cryptosporium and Tilima; eight types are rosewood, rosewood, aromatherapy Wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony and chicken wing wood. Among them, Hainan huanghuali is the most superior material and it is rare. Some collectors are too easy to superstitiously believe in mahogany when they choose. They only value the scarcity of materials and ignore the production process. They think that if mahogany-made furniture has a collection value, this view is wrong.

"Jade is not a good thing, not a device." Redwood furniture is the same, fine mahogany furniture pay attention to "shape, material, art", process and shape determines the value of mahogany furniture collection, the same furniture on the market may be a hundred times the price difference.

Misunderstanding 2: Pursue "Ten Tan and Nine Empty"

"Ten Tan Jiu Kong" originally means that most of the red sandalwood wood is basically hollow, and the rate of production is very low. Correspondingly, the price of slightly larger rosewood furniture will be surprisingly high.

However, this sentence may not be correct. There are many large table cases in the Palace Museum. The material is thick and long. Some cases are more than 3 meters long. The material used for such furniture cannot be hollow. The rosewood homes displayed in the Shanghai Museum have many large items. .

Red sandalwood is said to have more than a dozen varieties, three or four of which can be seen in China. A few years ago, the large number of red sandalwood imported from overseas by the first batch of modern times was almost hollow, and the trunks were straight. It was too far away from the evaluation of “Ten Tan Jiu Kong”. However, after repeated comparisons by experts from the Palace Museum, it was finally confirmed that the red sandalwood was The pieces of red sandalwood furniture left by the Ming Dynasty belong to the same type of wood.

Myth #3: Grimace is the only criterion for the evaluation of Hainan Pear Many collectors of just-introduced furniture recognize the furniture of Hainan Huanghuali. They usually have a lot of faces and grimaces on the appearance of the material, and they judge the quality of furniture as bad. The main indicator of true and false. This method cannot be said to be completely wrong, but it is partial. The pears that grow in the western part of Hainan Island have a devastating ecological environment. Talented trees need three or four hundred years. Irregular trunks and changes in trunks and tree knots make it easy to form Huanghuali grimace. However, it is very difficult for Hainan Huanghua pear to grow. Made of large furniture, it is easier to see more faces on many small furniture. Some huanghuali pears growing in the gentle areas of the eastern part of the island are relatively straight, and their trunk diameter is also thicker. The rate of finished products is also higher. They have very few grimaces on the surface, but use wave patterns as their main decoration. Be lighter. Therefore, in distinguishing Hainan Huanghuali furniture, grimace is not the only criterion.
