The so-called 'mahogany furniture', from the beginning, was not a furniture of a specific tree species, but a collective name for rare hardwood high-quality furniture since Ming and Qing Dynasties.
According to relevant national technical standards, the scope of "Redwood" is determined to be 5 genera, 8 categories, and 33 main varieties. The 5 genera are named after the genus of arboriculture, namely Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Clematis, Helix and Persimmon. Category 8 is named after the trade name of wood, namely rosewood, rosewood, fragrant branches, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony, and chicken wing.
Buying is not furniture but investment
"Mahogany refers to the heartwood of the 5 types and 8 types of wood. The heartwood refers to the center of the tree and the part without living cells. The furniture made of other wood can not be called mahogany furniture." Long Wang Baotian said.
Wang Baotian was one of the first batch of redwood traders in China, and he is also the chairman of Guangxi Redwood Furniture Association. "After 2005, the Nanshan market started, and more and more people came here to buy rosewood." Wang Baotian said: In recent years, the price of rosewood raw materials has increased by 20% to 30% per year. Take Huanghua pear wood as an example. In 2003, a ton of raw materials was only more than 10,000 yuan, and now it can reach 7 million yuan to 8 million yuan a ton. "The investment value of mahogany furniture is evident."
Mi Hai, general manager of Wangmei Mahogany Furniture, said that people choose mahogany furniture as an investment product, on the one hand, they value the use value of mahogany furniture. Because mahogany has the characteristics of high hardness, high density, good stability, strong oiliness, beautiful patterns, and strong carving expression, it is more durable than ordinary furniture and has low maintenance costs. The real mahogany furniture can even be used for hundreds of years or thousands of years, it is durable. On the other hand, since mahogany furniture was an item of royal nobility in ancient times, people have always regarded mahogany products as a symbol of grade, identity and taste.
Because the growth cycle of rosewood is very long, the average annual growth of breast diameter is less than 1 cm, resulting in scarce raw materials. "Things are rare", the price of mahogany furniture will naturally rise, which makes the collection of mahogany furniture a hot spot.
According to the newly implemented "International Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" on June 12, a variety of wood species are included in the protection list. Dalbergia and Lu's black Dalbergia (black rosewood) are restricted from international trade. "From the end of May to the beginning of June, the price of raw materials for rosewood rose by 20% to 30%." Wang Baotian said.
"It is recommended that public investors buy grass rosewood furniture first, although the texture is not as good as red rosewood and yellow rosewood, but because they are not prohibited from logging, the price has not increased much." Mihai believes, "And in the long run There is also room for appreciation. "
It ’s not a master, it ’s Reiki.
Zhu Kefan was one of the first "old mahogany people" who did the mahogany business in Pingxiang and founded the "Haojiasi Mahogany Furniture Shop". In the eyes of colleagues, Zhu Kefan is more like a designer than a businessman. Craftsmanship is what he values ​​most.
"When I take a carpenter test, I take three tests. I make a set of official hat chair, a set of palace chairs, and a set of Bogu frames independently. These three things seem simple, but it is actually very difficult to do well." The difference between the corners, right angles and corners of Zhang Hong's wooden table is quite large, which directly determines the value of the finished product.
For how to choose good mahogany furniture, Zhu Kefan believes that the key is to look at the appearance, and the appearance will be different in the same tree species. The difference in appearance is reflected in three aspects. One is fragrance, the other is wood grain, and the third is workmanship. In terms of fragrance, the biggest characteristic of rosewood is sourness, and Huanghuali wood is the fragrance.
The difference in wood grain is manifested in the symmetry of the wood, that is, the color difference that people usually say. "If you want to choose, choose the mahogany with small color difference." Zhu Kefan said, if there are some beautiful patterns, it will be more exquisite. For example, the red rosewood produced in Thailand and Cambodia has mostly yellow and red patterns, while the patterns in Laos and Vietnam are mostly black and purple. This color difference causes the latter to be nearly twice as high as the former. the price of.
In terms of workmanship, Zhu Kefan summarized it as "Aura". "Whether it is furniture or handicrafts, it depends on Reiki. It is difficult for ordinary people to make Reiki. If it is a masterpiece, Reiki is in place."
It ’s not about trading, it ’s about mood
"To Pingxiang Taomu, you can find a local to lead the way." Meng Qingyun suggested.
This statement is not false. After years of development, Pingxiang City has developed into the country's largest port of import of mahogany furniture and raw materials, and the country's largest distribution center of mahogany processing and sales. It can be said that rosewood has become an indispensable and important part of the lives of local people.
Entering the small shop run by Lao Pang himself, the full house of redwood exudes a strong fragrance and refreshes the heart. In this seemingly inconspicuous little shop, the mahogany treasures that Lao Pang has been scoring for more than ten years are placed: red rosewood-polished pillows, bracelets made of Huanghuali, carved Huali pears ...
In fact, in Lao Pang ’s store, there is very little business done, tasting tea with friends and talking about mahogany is the scene that appears in the store almost every day-"shape, art, material, rhyme are the basic of mahogany furniture Elements. "
Authentic mahogany furniture cannot use iron nails. It must be tenon-and-mortise structure, which is stronger and more durable than furniture connected with iron nails.
The mahogany furniture likes to be wet and damp, and it is forbidden to dry. Therefore, the mahogany wood is easy to crack when it arrives in the north. Therefore, the mahogany furniture in the north should be considered in the initial drying treatment. But as long as it is cracked once and repaired, there will be no more problems.
The texture of the mahogany wood is very clear, even after painting, the texture of the wood grain can be clearly seen by the strong light of the flashlight. After painting the fake mahogany, the color is thick and there is no texture to find.
For the purchaser, choosing the one that is worth seeing is perhaps the most effective investment strategy.
