How to identify mahogany furniture?

Mahogany furniture is internationally famous, and its characteristics are solemn color, fine and beautiful texture, hard and heavy wood, strong and durable. The authentic mahogany is rosewood, which is of the best quality, generally red, the wood is hard and heavy, the wood grain is fine, and it is oily. At present, most of the mahogany used for furniture is chicken branch wood, sour branch wood, rosewood and fragrant mahogany (these woods also belong to the category of mahogany).

1. Chicken branch wood: The wood is particularly hard, it appears deep and stable, the wood grain is clear, the finished product is smooth and shiny, and the color is close to the old mahogany, which is the top grade in the mahogany.

2. Sour branch wood: The hardness of the wood is slightly inferior to that of the chicken branch wood, but it also has the advantages of deep and stable, obvious wood grain, bright and smooth products, and the color is close to the old mahogany.

3. Rosewood: The wood is hard and heavy, the wood grain is clear, but the color is light, and it is also a good product in mahogany. 4. Fragrant mahogany: Abundant in Brazil, with a special fragrance, but the color and hardness are inferior to the above varieties, and it is an inferior product in mahogany.

The identification of mahogany furniture mainly depends on the wooden structure and weight: 1. See whether the wooden structure has the characteristics of the above-mentioned mahogany. That is, whether the wood itself has a variety of natural colors such as purple-red, yellow-red, crimson or crimson; Whether the wood grain is simple and beautiful, elegant and fresh, and whether the wood grain is still fresh and visible after painting.

After the fake mahogany products are painted, the color is generally thick, and there is often white flashing, and there is no texture to be found.

2. Look at the weight. Real mahogany furniture is sturdy and sturdy, and the texture is particularly tight, which is heavier than ordinary oak wood. Fake mahogany furniture of the same shape and size is significantly lighter than the real thing.

3. Look at whether it is pure mahogany home or mahogany veneer furniture. Although some products are said to be made of mahogany, a closer inspection reveals that the mahogany is cut into thin sheets and pasted on the surface of other woods to camouflage, and it is not real pure mahogany furniture.

4. To buy mahogany furniture, it is best to buy in a regular furniture store with a good reputation and high degree of credit, to see whether the materials and lacquers indicated on the product label are consistent with the finished product, and carefully consult and identify them carefully to avoid mispurchase and unnecessary losses.

The first thing is to smell the smell. The raw material of mahogany will have a fragrance and be precious.

The fragrance of the variety is very mellow and soft. Then it is to look at the wood grain and touch the material. If there are obvious concave and convex marks on the surface of the furniture, and the wood grain is unnaturally broken and changed, it may be spliced with different materials. There is a lot of discernment on the mahogany furniture network.

Looking at the color and texture Looking is a kind of learning, but also an experience. Each mahogany material has its own color and texture. However, there are still some similar materials that are confused with it, and some unscrupulous manufacturers cheat, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

What to do? Only by looking at real mahogany furniture over and over again, and letting the color and texture of real mahogany furniture embed in our minds, can we identify the real and fake mahogany materials through careful observation. There is no identification without comparison, and only through comparison can we distinguish the true from the false.

For example, the new rosewood is orange-red and oxidizes in the air to purple-red after three months; Over time, it turns deep purple and purplish-black.
