Is Ming and Qing dynasty furniture antique? Does it have anything to do with the wood material?

1 All antiques are the name of the people, officially called cultural relics, and the general cultural relics are divided into three levels according to the grade. Of course, the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties is considered an antique (cultural relic). Of course, the value of cultural relics is also related to the material of wood, but not all, including the process, production level, use of people, use of the place are related.

Sometimes the materials are the same, and there is a difference in the process, which qualitatively determines the difference in value. Like rosewood furniture, the palace level and the folk are incomparable, whether it is the process, modeling, user identity, etc., all determine the gap between the two, and there are many unique furniture types of the court, such as the emperor's throne, the book case (here refers to the emperor's daily life, not the throne of the main hall).

There used to be such a comparison, the same is the two chairs made of Haihuang, one is made by the Hainan folk in the Qing Dynasty (the same as the student chair, no carving), and the other is the modern carved Ming-style circle chair, the price comparison is that the chair made by the Hainan folk in the Qing Dynasty is worth 200,000, but the modern finely carved Ming-style circle chair is worth 600,000.
