“The so-called 'redwood furniture' is not a specific tree species furniture from the beginning, but a general term for rare hardwood high-quality furniture since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.” Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Nanshan Industrial Park, Pingxiang Border Economic Cooperation Zone, Guangxi Qingyun said.

According to national standards, the scope of “redwood” is determined to be 5 genera, 8 categories and 33 major varieties. The 5 genera are named after the genus of arborescens, namely, genus Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, genus, genus, and persimmon. Class 8 is named after the trade name of wood, namely rosewood, rosewood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony and chicken wing wood.

Buying is not furniture, it is investment

“Redwood refers to the heartwood of these 5 genera and 8 types of wood. The heartwood refers to the center of the tree and the part without the living cells. The furniture made of wood can not be called mahogany furniture.” Director of Qingbaoge Hongmu Furniture City Chang Wang Baotian said.

Wang Baotian is the first batch of mahogany traders in China. He is also the president of Guangxi Redwood Furniture Association. “After 2005, the Nanshan market started to start, and more and more people came to buy mahogany here.” Wang Baotian said that in recent years, the price increase of mahogany raw materials can reach 20% to 30% per year, taking Huanghualimu as an example. In 2003, the raw material cost was only 10,000 yuan, and now it can reach 7 million yuan to 8 million yuan a ton.

The investment value of mahogany furniture can be seen.

Mi Hai, general manager of Wangmei Redwood Home Furnishings, said that people choose mahogany furniture as an investment product, on the one hand, they are interested in the use value of mahogany furniture. Because of its high hardness, high density, good stability, strong oiliness, beautiful pattern and strong engraving performance, mahogany has stronger durability and lower maintenance cost than ordinary furniture. Real mahogany furniture can be used for centuries or thousands of years and is durable. On the other hand, since mahogany furniture was a royal aristocratic item in ancient times, people have always regarded mahogany products as a symbol of grade, identity and taste.

In addition, because the growth cycle of redwood is very long, the annual growth of the breast diameter is less than 1 cm, resulting in scarcity of raw materials. “Things are rare,” the price of mahogany furniture naturally rises, making the collection of mahogany furniture a hot spot.

The latest implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora on June 12 listed a variety of wood species in the protection list, Sian rosewood (Lao red rosewood), Central American Dalbergia, Dwarf Dalbergia, Belize Yellow Tan and L. black sandalwood (black rosewood) are restricted to international trade. “From the end of May to the beginning of June, the price of raw materials for rosewood rose by 20% to 30%.” Wang Baotian said.

“It is recommended that the public investors buy the furniture of the rosewood first, although the texture is not as good as the red rosewood and the huanghuali wood, but because it has not been banned from cutting, the price has not risen much.” Mi Hai believes, “and in the long run There is also room for appreciation."

It’s not a master, it’s a reiki.

Zhu Kefan was the first “old mahogan man” who was doing the mahogany business in Pingxiang, and founded the “good home thinking mahogany furniture line”. In the eyes of his peers, Zhu Kefan is more like a designer than a businessman. Craft is a place that he values ​​very much.

"I took a test of woodwork, I made a set of official hat chairs, a palace chair and a set of ancient shelves. These three things seem to be simple. It is very difficult to do well." Zhu Kefan said, just look at one. The difference between the corners of the red table and the right angle and the corner is quite large, which directly determines the value of the finished product.

Regarding how to choose good mahogany furniture, Zhu Kefan believes that the key is to look at the appearance, and the same kind of tree will have different appearances.

The difference in appearance is manifested in three aspects. "One is the fragrance, the second is the wood grain, and the third is the workmanship." Ma Yan, chairman of Guangxi Yongkang Trading Co., Ltd. said that from the smell, the biggest characteristic of the rosewood is the sour taste, and the yellow rosewood is the fragrance.

The difference in wood grain is manifested in the uniformity of the wood, which is what people usually say. "To choose the mahogany with a small color difference." Zhu Kefan said that if there are some beautiful patterns, it will be more beautiful. For example, the red rosewood produced in Thailand and Cambodia is mostly yellow and red, while in Laos and Vietnam, it is mostly black and purple. This color difference causes the latter to nearly double the former. the price of.

In the work of the class, Zhu Kefan summed it up as "Aura." "Whether it is furniture or crafts, you have to look at the aura. It is very difficult for the average person to make an aura. If it is a masterpiece, the aura is in place."

It’s not about buying or selling, it’s a state of mind.

"To Pingxiang Taohong, you can find a local to lead the way." Meng Qingyun suggested.

This statement is not false. After years of development, Pingxiang City has developed into the country's largest import port of mahogany furniture and raw materials, as well as the country's largest distribution center for mahogany processing and sales. It can be said that mahogany has become an inseparable part of the lives of local people.

Walking into the small shop that Lao Pang himself manages, the mahogany of the full house exudes a strong aroma and is refreshing. In this seemingly inconspicuous little shop, the mahogany treasures that Lao Pang has scoured in the past ten years are: red rosewood polished pillows, huanghuali made bracelets, grass pears carved 赑屃...

In fact, in Lao Pang’s shop, buying and selling is very rare, and chatting with friends about redwood is the scene that almost every day in the store –

“Shaping, art, material and rhyme are the basic elements of mahogany furniture.”

"Authentic mahogany furniture, can not use nails, must use the 榫卯 structure, more durable than the furniture connected with nails."

“The mahogany furniture is damp and wet, so it is easy to crack, so the mahogany furniture is easy to crack in the north. Therefore, the mahogany furniture in the north should be considered in the initial drying treatment. But once it is cracked once, it will not be repaired again. There is a problem."

“The texture of the mahogany is very clear. Even after painting, the texture of the wood grain can be clearly seen by the strong light of the flashlight. After the fake mahogany is painted, the color is thick and there is no texture to find.”

For buyers, choosing the one that they can see is perhaps the most effective investment strategy.
