The industry voice

Ming furniture material devaluation Rosewood

Bo, Beijing Hardwood Furniture Co. Chairman Henry Yuan

To produce the characteristics of Ming furniture, not suitable for the use of precious materials. Ming-style furniture much, much material, but pay attention to the materials work. For example the same piece of furniture, materials, defective places, Qing style furniture, sculpture work practices can disguise the past, and Ming-style furniture can not. Currently on the wood raw material markets, pear are “a material hard to find”, seeking a piece of aniseed, good material is difficult; lobular red sandalwood logs easily Hollow, a small timber, aniseed prices diameter are more expensive, not suitable for Ming furniture. It now appears that Rosewood should be the most suitable material Ming furniture. I am afraid that will be on the market this year, Ming-style furniture, the most important red wood furniture.

Surface innovation has no value

Fu Junmin, Xuanming Dian, chairman of the Home classical furniture factory

Ming-style furniture, antique furniture based on innovation, as well as innovative new Chinese furniture, or should learn from the basic starting the tenon, learn practical shapes, and then explore innovative.

There is now a popular and innovative approach is to splice elements in the western furniture Chinese furniture, the modern elements added to the antique furniture, only on the surface of innovation, not much value.

Ming furniture represents the essence of Chinese culture, but it is suitable for modern life needs? It is shaped charm, how to use and re-creation in now? I think that everyone should be thinking about, inspection issues.
