How to choose high quality mahogany furniture
Adhere to the four-character standard of "art material rhyme"
When selecting mahogany furniture, Wu Bingliang’s four standards of “typeâ€, “artâ€, “material†and “rhyme†have been widely accepted by the industry.
“Type†refers to the shape and shape of the work. The first feeling of buying art is the shape. Whether it is classic or not, whether the design is harmonious or not, whether it can produce a certain artistic beauty, whether it can attract eyeballs and let investors fall in love at first sight. Specifically, it includes whether the structure is reasonable, whether the arrangement of the decoration is consistent with the form, and whether the overall rhythm of the form is in place.
“Art†refers to the manufacturing process of furniture. The evaluation criteria include the scientific nature of the internal structure, the rigor of the seams of the panels, and the precision of the carving. On carving, hand carving is very different from machine carving. Hand-carved carvings will be vivid and beautiful, and the machine carving will be dull and monotonous, with no vitality. In addition, the carving is also divided into relief, openwork, etc., the evaluation of the level of carving skills depends on the smoothness of the knife method and the image of the sculpture is lifelike.
“Material†means the wood of choice. Whether the color matching is uniform, whether the texture is uniform, whether the foot material is required according to the design style. A good work does not care about the amount of labor, and will use a sufficient amount of wood in strict accordance with each furniture design requirements, in order to be able to produce a boutique furniture.
"Rhyme" is based on the three points of type, art and material. From the process to the art, it must be processed by special techniques to produce the charm. The charm and artistic appeal of furniture have many values. First, it has practical collection value; second, it has cultural, artistic and ornamental value; thirdly, it has the potential to preserve and appreciate space from the perspective of investment and collection.
Combine economic strength and accurately locate
"Things are rare," because the growth cycle of mahogany is very long, the average diameter of the breast diameter is less than 1 cm, resulting in scarcity of raw materials. The supply of precious wood used in traditional Chinese furniture is very limited, especially the Hainan huanghuali old material can be described as difficult.
According to Wu Bingliang, at present, the market price of Hainan huanghuali old material market has reached the point of price according to the market price. The price is determined by the thickness and length, and the price is between 8,000 and 20,000 yuan per kilogram. Therefore, investing in Hainan huanghuali wood furniture has higher requirements for personal financial resources.
Vietnamese huanghuali materials have come in few materials from the origin in recent years. Generally, the purchase of Vietnamese huanghuali materials can only rely on the early purchase of some enterprises and collectors. "There are not many transactions that can be taken out. At present, between 6 million yuan and 10 million yuan per ton, if the extra-large sheet is more than 10 million yuan per ton."
Wu Bingliang believes that in the redwoods, Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, Indian small red sandalwood and old red rosewood are four kinds of expensive wood, because the supply of goods is tight, especially Hainan huanghuali is difficult to find, Vietnam huanghuali is very short, this Several woods have the largest value-added space. Some of the lower-grade woods such as grass rosewood, red sandalwood and other African South American countries have abundant supplies. The market price is about 10,000 yuan/ton, and the appreciation space is relatively limited. Investment and collection of mahogany furniture needs to grasp their own positioning according to their own economic strength. The general white-collar workers can consider investing in collecting some fine furniture designed and manufactured by old red rosewood materials.
Look for raw materials, look for inspection department identification
Professor Yan Anguo, the current president of the China Redwood Furniture Culture Research Institute, suggested that in order to avoid buying fake and shoddy mahogany furniture, when buying mahogany furniture, it is necessary to first look for raw materials, but also pay attention to the inherent craftsmanship and structure.
He said, "There are dozens of raw materials for mahogany furniture, and the prices vary greatly among different materials. When purchasing, you should pay attention to whether the manufacturer has the name of the material, the place of origin, etc. according to the national regulations. At the same time, you can also go to the relevant inspection department to make the wood. Measurement."
How to avoid the misunderstanding of mahogany furniture purchase
Antique mahogany furniture may not be as good as old furniture
Furniture not only depends on the age, the source, but also whether the style is classic, whether the design is harmonious and beautiful, and whether it has a plastic art. Although ordinary old furniture has a certain historical value, it is difficult to have high value if it is not well designed. Only the fine products created by excellent designers and skilled craftsmen can be recognized by everyone and sold at a good price.
Ming Dynasty furniture is not necessarily better than the Qing Dynasty
There is a big difference between Ming Dynasty furniture and Qing Dynasty furniture style.
Ming Dynasty furniture is represented by Huanghua pear material, which has the characteristics of simplicity, simplicity and simplicity. In particular, Huanghua Pear is a natural beauty with beautiful texture and ever-changing design. Through design, it can produce classic art with beautiful style and beautiful shape. Today, after hundreds of years, it is still highly respected and loved by the majority of Ming-style furniture lovers, and domestic and foreign museums are competing for collection.
The style of furniture in the Qing Dynasty changed greatly in the design style, shape and craft of furniture in different historical periods, with the progress of the level of craftsmanship, and the social environment at that time and the fashion pursued by people. The biggest feature is that the furniture decoration pays attention to the carving technique, and the shape is also solemn and luxurious.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were classic models of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty had classic models of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming and Qing styles are not the same. It is impossible to arbitrarily believe that Ming Dynasty furniture must be superior to the Qing Dynasty.
It’s not that the precious materials of the furniture are necessarily more valuable.
Choosing mahogany furniture can't be "materialism." Although huanghuali wood is a precious wood, if it falls into a ugly piece of furniture that is not in place and work is not in place, it is difficult to reflect the value of the valuable materials it uses. The material is important, but the quality of a piece of furniture should be tested from four aspects: shape, craftsmanship, materials, and charm. Because the material is expensive, it is valuable, and art is priceless.
