Redwood is a kind of furniture material that Chinese people are very familiar with, but most people don't know much about what kind of mahogany, mahogany, and mahogany. This week, the reporter walked into the “Good Wood Accord” in the Central Commercial Street of Tuancheng Mountain and asked an expert who was famous in the Huangshi Wenhua circle.

Redwood is a kind of furniture material, and the wood of the genus Rosewood is prolific in Southeast Asia, and in Hainan, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in China. The difference between heartwood and sapwood is obvious, the sapwood is narrow, grayish white; the heartwood is yellowish red to red, and it turns purple red when exposed to the air. The wood pattern is beautiful, the material is hard and durable, and it is used for valuable furniture and arts and crafts. Guangdong is commonly known as "sourwood".

The range of redwoods is five, eight, eight and thirty. The most widely known ones are Hainan huanghuali, sandalwood rosewood, red rosewood and nanmu.

Dalbergia--Hainan Huanghua Pear

Hainan huanghuali is generally in the form of 500 years. At present, the market is basically out of print, and almost all of the furniture has entered the auction collection market. Because the available parts of the wood are generally only the heart, the Hainan huanghuali heart that is thick in the bowl may have only one chopstick. This also makes it extraordinarily precious.

Because of the beautiful lines, Hainan huanghuali is mostly used for furniture. There are many chairs, meditation chairs, lamp hanging chairs, small strips, book rolls, southern official hat chairs, and circle chairs. Huanghua pear has two kinds of materials and oil materials. Among them, the pattern of the material is more beautiful, and the furniture made is more beautiful. It has been highly respected by the royal family in ancient times.

In addition, Hainan huanghuali has certain medicinal value. The heartwood of Hainan huanghuali is the Chinese herbal medicine, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that the scent of the scent is pungent, warm and non-toxic. Trauma is very effective, Li Shizhen records that the fragrance has the effect of "treating the golden sore, stopping the bleeding and relieving the pain, reducing the swelling of the muscles." Made into wenwan for a long time, it can effectively reduce blood pressure.

There is a set of new huanghuali-made southern official hat chairs on the market, the price is about two or three million.

Rosewood--Sanlin Rosewood

Sandalwood rosewood, also known as lobular rosewood, is a boutique of red sandalwood with a high density and is mainly produced in India. As the saying goes, the largest sandalwood is only about 20 centimeters in diameter, and its preciousness can be imagined.

The ancient Chinese understanding and use of rosewood began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Jin, Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes" has a record, called "red sandalwood, out of Funan, color purple, also known as red sandalwood." The red sandalwood of the Ming Dynasty was valued by the royal family.

The color of rosewood is deep purple. It has always been a special wood for royal aristocratic furniture. It is expensive and ranks first among all woods. It is called "the wood of the emperor." Because the output rate is extremely low, the resources are scarce, and there is also the saying of "inch sandalwood".

The new surface of the lobular rosewood is orange-yellow, which gradually turns into deep red, purple, and black after oxidation. Many people collect lobular rosewood furniture in order to enjoy the color change process, and its color is deep, dense, and looks very stable.

There is a new set of southern official hats with lobular rosewood material on the market, and the price is about four or five hundred thousand.

Picking a rosewood collection

Buying a mahogany collection must not be painted. In order to save raw materials, some manufacturers fill the color of the meat near the heart, and draw the same texture as the concentric material. After painting, they can't be seen at all. The collection value of such mahogany furniture will definitely be greatly reduced. Therefore, the purchase of mahogany collection must be done without painting, not waxing, and keeping the white billet. After signing the contract, the upper layer of light wax can be used for better protection.

In the custom-made furniture contract, the scientific name of the wood must be clearly marked. Once the concept is enlarged, the value difference may be as high as one million. For example, there are many kinds of sour branches. The most expensive one is Sian rosewood. If there is no standard definition, some unscrupulous merchants may use fake Dalbergia to pretend.

There are many value factors related to mahogany furniture. In addition to wood, imposition, coloring, and secondary filling are all important indicators, and the quality of the process will directly affect its value.
