The collectible value of rosewood furniture

What is collected is history.

In the collecting world, the rosewood collection is actually a collection of old rosewood furniture and antiques.

An abbreviation. Since the nineties of the last century, Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture has become a precious cultural relics and artwork due to its exquisite artistic attainments and rich cultural and historical value, which has made more and more collectors turn their attention to it, and many collectors have even classified these old furniture into categories for research and research, in order to explore the skills and historical value of Chinese classical furniture.

As a national cherished plant, any illegal mining of rosewood is illegal; At the same time, these stolen rosewood belongs to the "new pear", which is not the same as the old material "yellow rosewood" referred to in the collection, even if it is made into furniture, it is impossible to become a collection because it does not have cultural connotation and historical inheritance, so let alone appreciation space.

Collection is protection.

Because the yellow rosewood color is golden and warm, the heartwood color is darker reddish-brown or dark brown, the texture is clear, such as the clouds and flowing water is very beautiful, so it became the preferred material for the production of high-end furniture in the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, which made a large number of rosewood subject to excessive logging, before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Huanghuali wood decreased sharply and was on the verge of extinction, and the Hainan pear known as the most Chinese pear was also in that period of sharp decline and faced extinction.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, mahogany had to be used instead of rosewood to make high-end furniture. According to expert estimates, the number of Ming and Qing dynasty style Huanghuali furniture is only about 10,000 pieces. As early as 1960, China's "Reference Standards for the Identification of Cultural Relics for Export" stipulated:

All furniture made of rosewood, rosewood, ebony, and old wenge wood, regardless of age, is not allowed to be exported; Furniture made of other materials, including screens, interstitial screens, plaques, lampholders, hanging lamps, wall lamps, etc., produced before 1795, are not allowed to be exported. You can imagine how precious it is.

In order to protect this rosewood, which has been devastated by the felling, the state has listed it as a second-class protected wild plant, and clearly stipulates that no one shall purchase or sell rosewood and its products at will. That is to say, Hainan rosewood cannot legally enter the market circulation, and most of the rosewood products legally circulated in the market are imported from Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. These products can only be called rosewood furniture, because they are still produced and circulated, and have no collection value.

Rosewood furniture is collectible, it is one of China's four famous wood, wood is a national second-class protected plant, expensive, slow growth, extremely difficult to become a material, rosewood furniture its wood is more precious than rosewood has far exceeded rosewood, dozens of times higher. The wood properties of yellow rosewood are extremely stable, no matter the cold or heat is not deformed, not cracked, not bent, there is a certain toughness, suitable for all kinds of special-shaped furniture, such as three bent legs, its bending degree is very large, only yellow rosewood can be made, other wood is more difficult to do. Today, collectors at home and abroad are proud to have collected rosewood furniture.

Rosewood furniture has also become synonymous with "the beauty of classical furniture". Nowadays, there are very few authentic products on the market, and only some big brands similar to Sons and Grandchildren can buy genuine products with collectible value.
