The collection of classical furniture is considered to be another kind of potential hidden items after contemporary calligraphy, porcelain and jade. Especially with the "first god of the world", foreigners called "the wood that God has kissed" - Hainan huanghuali made of furniture, but also its scent is fragrant, the world is the first, the texture is unparalleled, the color Crystal clear, and more and more popular and sought after by collectors.
The value of any collection is roughly considered in terms of history, art, appearance and quantity. The same is true of the collection of Hainan huanghuali (known as the sea yellow) by collectors.
Ming and Qing dynasty, Feng Mao scales
The ancient furniture of the sea and the yellow in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is very rare. Mr. Wang Shizhen, the most authoritative author of China's furniture research in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, his furniture listed in the book "The Study of Ming Style Furniture" is based on Su Zuo (made in Suzhou). Indeed, although there are genres such as Su Zuo, Jing Zuo, and Guang Zuo in history, Su Zuo Furniture is undoubtedly the most representative and most tasteful of Ming style furniture due to the influence of Jiangnan's profound cultural heritage. If you still want to collect such furniture now, it is tantamount to looking for rare things. It can only be seen occasionally in the Palace Museum in Beijing. In the book "131 pieces of Huanghuali furniture in the Forbidden City", we are still unable to determine whether it is made of sea yellow. It does not rule out the products of Yuehuang (Vietnamese rosewood) and even grass pear (Pearl of Laos and other countries). .
In the past few years, Wang Shizhen sold more than 70 pieces of sea-and-old furniture to the Shanghai Museum with a symbolic $500,000, which he accumulated for a lifetime. In addition, some of them have flowed to the United States, Europe and other places before liberation. For example, there is a Nelson Museum in California, which specializes in collecting such furniture. Some are treasured by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan hobbyists.
The Guangming old furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is still a certain number, and the cost performance is relatively high. Some traces can still be seen in Hainan Island. Part of it is the fifth floor of Junming Commercial Plaza in Haikou City and the second floor of the antique city. Some of them are still in the merchants and ordinary people's homes in some counties and cities in Hainan. There are eight kinds of tables, circle chairs, Taishi chairs, official hat chairs, ladies' boudoir chairs, desks, incense tables, and cases.
There are two kinds of folk furniture that can reflect the characteristics of Hainan folk customs. First, there are four small cabinets, commonly known as rice cabinets and cash boxes. According to Zhang Zhiyang, a research expert at Hainan Huanghua Pear, it is usually a cabinet for storing valuables at home. It is impossible to lock a hundred pounds of rice, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to use expensive and scarce pears to make such complicated and simple furniture. . There is also a lounge chair. It was introduced to the educated youth from Guangdong, Shanghai and Fujian during the Cultural Revolution. Although these two kinds of furniture are not in the category of Ming furniture, they still have collection and use value.
For example, after the rice cabinet is renovated, it can be changed into a bedside table, a lamp stand, a bonsai table, and the like. The recliner is always available, and in Beijing, it is used as a luxury item for the upper casuals. Especially the quality is good, and it has more collection value.
The characteristic of Guangzuo furniture is that it fully demonstrates the geographical advantages of Hainan, that is, the material is generous and the shape is slightly thicker. Of course, it is slightly less elegant and smarter than the Soviet Union. The old furniture of these remains can be roughly divided into two types. First, the local craftsmen of Hainan made relatively vulgar. Many of these things have been dismantled as raw materials. There is also a kind of literary, not inferior to the mainland's craft. This is because: most of the people in Hainan Island were immigrants from Fujian. These people are not lack of skilled craftsmen. For example, the carvings of Qiongshan are quite fine, and there are obvious traces of the carpentry. There are also Yachengfu (now Sanya City), Qiongzhou Prefecture (now Haikou City) and other places. The culture is prosperous. Many wealthy people returning from the mainland bring craftsmen and crafts. The furniture they use is also typical. The mainland Ming and Qing styles. Another part is the island's official residence, merchants, landlords, and purchases of Cantonese-style furniture from the mainland.
Great cultural relics are deliberately old-fashioned. No one is willing to be old, only the old furniture. This is because "flour is more expensive than bread." Today, the sea yellow old materials that can be used as furniture, thousands of yuan per kilogram, if used so expensive
In the past few years, Wang Shizhen sold more than 70 pieces of sea-and-old furniture to the Shanghai Museum with a symbolic $500,000, which he accumulated for a lifetime.
Old materials to copy the old models to become artifacts, it is even more uneconomical.
Cleverly made avocado, the beauty of the world
"Cambridge Illustration Chinese History" has a saying about Ming style furniture: "It's elegant, there is no transcendence yet." The perpetual charm of Ming and Qing furniture is here.
At present, China can produce imitation of Minghuang Huanghuali furniture, which is roughly Hainan Haikou, Fujian Xianyou, Guangdong Taishan, Beijing. It stands to reason that modern people can do it, and modern people can do it better. But why is it like "the elegance of the foreigners, there is no transcendence yet?" The key is that today's impetuous, falsified, and not honest, and the ancients are culturally immersed in it, calm and rigorous.
The means of modern production is modernization, which is unmatched by the ancients. For example, computer graphics can be very accurate, and can also copy 100% of the Ming style; modern planing knives, saws and other tools are also incomparable to the ancients. In ancient times, only the carp can be used to assist the raft reinforcement; The seaweed is polished, how to polish it, and it can’t be polished like a glass-like glossy surface made with thousands of sandpaper...
However, the ancients have been striving for excellence, especially for the court to create and to design for the nobles, it is more rigorous. Now that manufacturers are pursuing a word of "money", how can they create an art piece that rivals the ancients?
According to the author's observation and analysis, most of the sea yellow used in the Ming Dynasty was collected in the eastern part of Hainan. The material is loose, the color is basically yellow, and even white. Because it is an anomaly, the texture is generally straightforward, so anyone who encounters a scorpion is commonly known as a "grimace", which is amazed as "the most vivid and cute", and is regarded as a typical feature of sea yellow.
actually not. Really reflect the beauty of sea yellow, not in the east, not in the yellow pear, but in the central and western regions are purple, red and other avocados. Because the oil pears are long in the mountainous areas that are difficult to mine, and the materials are mostly tortuous and small, they are rarely used in ancient times. Therefore, it is difficult for us to see the shadows in the introduction of Haihuang antique furniture. Nowadays, the sheet is basically lacking, and the avocado and old materials of the tree head and the root of the tree are used for furniture production. But this has instead achieved the beauty of the world beyond the Ming and Qing dynasty furniture.
"One wood, one device", the most expensive
The appearance of Huanghuali furniture is inspected by materials, colors, and how much to make up.
Phase. The most important thing is to see how much to make up. Huanghuali (scientific name of scented rosewood) is also "ten sandal nine empty", the older the more empty, plus the survival of the world has basically bottomed out, so it is rare to not fight. Some local manufacturers now have a pair of chairs that are spliced ​​with at least 200 pieces of new dry materials. The price of such "hundred clothes" is low and cannot be bought.
Material. Generally speaking, the eastern material is far worse than the western material. The new materials and dry materials are far worse than the old materials and the Laoshan materials (that is, they are placed in the mountains after the felling to be corroded by white skin), and the yellow pears are far less avocado.
colour. The eastern material is basically yellow. Midwestern Oil is divided into several colors, such as purple, red, brown, black and mixed colors of these colors. Purple is the most expensive and most loved.
purity. It is almost impossible to extravagize the "one wood and one device" now. Re-excavation, also choose the same origin, color close. The more pure the product, the higher it will be. For example, making a painting with huanghuali is more valuable than assembling it with a more expensive but multi-colored avocado.
"The last pear" is the most touching
According to the author's investigations in Hainan, Fujian, Beijing and other places, and communication with many manufacturers and friends in the industry, I believe that the existence of sea yellow old materials is less than 1,000 tons in China. Among them, the ratio can be quite small. Most of them are roots, small materials, and tree heads.
In recent years, although Hainan, Fujian and other places have planted thousands of acres, but it can be a forest, it is also a hundred years later. Now every household in Hainan is usually planted in the front of the house in front of the house. The land is fertile and fertilized from time to time. After a hundred years, the quality is at most the current new materials and dry materials. What is the moving point?
Therefore, in the face of the “final rose pearâ€, what the sea yellow collectors can do is to refine their eyes and seize the last chance to find rare products in the market that are of good quality and rich in elegance. Take them home...
