What are the characteristics of old mahogany furniture, and what should I pay attention to when buyi

Precautions for the purchase of old mahogany furniture:

First, it is necessary to choose branded, trustworthy stores, manufacturers, and time-honored brands. Generally speaking, the product quality of big brands will be guaranteed, and the after-sales service is also very good, and there are no worries.

Second, to shop around, for the same style, the same brand of goods, from the quality, price, service and other aspects of comprehensive consideration. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for", and the price of a really good thing can't be very cheap.

3. All mahogany furniture is disassembled and assembled by mortise and tenon joints, so real mahogany furniture does not need a little glue or an iron nail, which is conducive to preventing cracking of mahogany furniture.

Identification method: First of all, look at the legs and feet of the furniture for signs of fading and damp flooding. In the humid areas of the south, furniture is generally placed directly on the mud floor, which will occur over time.

Secondly, see if the toning is natural. In general, in the position where the user's hand is often touched, a naturally occurring slurry will appear. The new imitation pulp is either unnatural or made in places that are not often touched.

Again, look at the copper job. If the copper work of the old mahogany furniture is the original, it should have been rubbed by hand for decades or even hundreds of years. Copper work includes face pages, hinges, hinges, handles, corners, inlays, lock surfaces, etc., some of the better material furniture will also be made of white copper, and it will glow with a faint silver light for a long time, which makes people reverie.

Then, look at the renovation traces. After the refurbishment of some cloth chairs, the original rim will leave dense nail holes, and this kind of chair is old. Some rattan chairs, the original rattan surface is rotten, leaving an eye that wears the rattan, and you can see it when you turn it over.

Next, look at the wood grain. There will be uneven wood grain on the surface of some furniture, but it depends carefully, whether it is hard rubbed with a wire brush, and whether it matches the original wood grain. Hard-rubbed wood grain always has an unnatural feel.

In the position where the old furniture hand often touches, there will be a naturally formed pulp. Legs and feet are generally present.

Signs of fading, dampness, and flooding, especially in the humid areas of the south, have a smell of old imitation on the bottom and drawer boards, such as old tables and stuffy cabinets. There are also old ones painted with matte black paint, but there is absolutely no fire. Then look at the drawer side panel, there should be chamfered lines on the side to avoid hurting your hands.

In the past, the mortise was square, and it was the tip that locked the tenon. There are some cloth chairs in the old furniture, and after renovation, the original chair rim will leave dense nail holes, and this kind of chair is old. Some rattan chairs, the original rattan surface is rotten, leaving the eyes of the rattan piercing, which can be seen when turned over.

If the copper work of old furniture is original, it should have been rubbed by hand for decades or even hundreds of years. Copper work includes face pages, hinges, hinges, handles, corners, inlays, lock surfaces, etc., and some furniture with better materials will also be made of white copper, which will glow with a faint silver light for a long time. In the past, when furniture was made, the working hours were relatively wide, and the mentality of the craftsmen was quite calm, finely carved, round and natural.

The workmanship can be felt.

The following one is from Youlian.

Old mahogany refers to the sorrel wood introduced from India and other places, which is characterized by hard wood, smooth and fine grain, the wood is light red at first, and gradually turns dark red or black red over time. At present, most of the mahogany in the market is Burmese and Vietnamese mahogany, rosewood, wenge wood, these mahogany are not as hard as the old mahogany, so it is called new mahogany. There are Ming and Qing dynasty styles, French styles, combined styles, Chinese and Western styles, and traditional styles in mahogany furniture.

The Ming and Qing dynasties have fine workmanship, fine carving, firm strength, and most of the mahogany furniture seen in the domestic auction hall is Ming and Qing dynasty style, and there are relatively few others.

Hello, as a supplier, you should want to know the general mahogany purchase process:

Smell: Most of the wood furniture sold on the market now has wood-based panel parts in addition to all solid wood furniture. Therefore, it is especially important to smell the smell when purchasing. If it makes people cry and sneeze, it means that the formaldehyde emission of furniture is relatively high, and there may be a problem, so don't buy it.

Look at the report: The consumer asks the dealer for a quality inspection report to see if the formaldehyde emission of the furniture is within the allowable range of the standard. The national standard "Limit of Harmful Substances in Interior Decoration Materials and Wood Furniture" stipulates that the release of formaldehyde in wood furniture shall not be greater than milligrams per liter, such as the purchase of wood furniture formaldehyde exceeds the standard, do not buy, it is recommended to buy furniture made of E1 standard plates, only the plates that meet the E1 standard can really be harmless to the human body.

Ask the price: Most of the wood furniture with excessive formaldehyde uses cheap man-made panels, so the price of the whole set of wood furniture is often "ultra-low". Due to the large use of inferior glue in cheap man-made panels, the formaldehyde emission is seriously exceeded.

Sign the contract: It is best for the customer to sign the "Furniture Sale and Purchase Contract" when buying furniture, and write the environmental protection clause into the contract.

Invoicing: Now there are a large number of consumers in the dealer low price temptation, take the white strips, receipts, etc. and walk away, and when there is a quality problem to complain, this kind of informal invoice is often difficult as effective evidence, so buy furniture must be issued by the dealer to issue a formal invoice.
