Wan Bao Hong shared: The characteristics of Ming style furniture are mainly as follows:

Fine: that is, the selection of materials is excellent, and the production is exquisite. The materials used in Ming-style furniture are mostly red sandalwood, huanghuali and iron pear wood, which are precious woods with hard texture, fine grain and deep color.

In terms of technology, all adopt mortise and tenon structure, reasonable connection, so that the furniture is solid and firm, and it remains unchanged for a long time. Due to the slow growth of red sandalwood, huanghuali and iron pear wood, these materials were increasingly scarce after a large number of felling in the Ming Dynasty, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, these woods were very difficult to find. Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty, the furniture has undergone fundamental changes in materials.

To identify and distinguish whether it is Ming Dynasty furniture, the examination of materials is crucial.

Qiao: that is, the production is exquisite, the design is ingenious. The modeling structure of Ming-style furniture attaches great importance to matching with the hall building, and the overall configuration of the furniture itself is also in order.

Because many literati and painters living in Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty were directly involved in the design and production of gardening art and furniture, and the craftsmen also catered to the elegant tastes of the literati, the "elegant" character of Ming-style furniture was formed. The embodiment of elegance in furniture is the simplicity of the shape, the simplicity of the decoration, the freshness and naturalness of the color, and no pretentiousness.
