With the gradual rise in furniture prices in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some people have begun to fake the Ming and Qing furniture. Industry insiders reminded that investing in Ming and Qing furniture should pay attention to the professional knowledge of learning.
Mr. Shang has been operating Ming and Qing furniture for more than 10 years. He told reporters that investing in Ming and Qing furniture must first learn some knowledge of wood identification.
For example, some people use redwood to impersonate red sandalwood. Investors can use alcohol cotton balls to rub on the wood. If purple color appears, it is red sandalwood. It is more valuable to preserve the complete Ming and Qing furniture. Some people will give some parts to the incomplete furniture, which will test the investors' eyesight.
In addition, we must also look at the workmanship, the carving of Ming and Qing furniture, especially the exquisiteness of the details, especially those deep recesses, which can be polished very smooth and soft. The new imitation furniture, mostly mechanically polished, will shed rough marks on the pits. Investment in Ming and Qing furniture should also pay attention to the variety, the perfect combination of engraving technology and wood characteristics, the appreciation potential of furniture is greater. For example, the furniture of Huanghua Pear must pay attention to the Ming Dynasty furniture such as the car chair, the Arhat bed and the top box.
