The only new material on more than a good old classical furniture collection errors

In recent years, the classic collection of furniture, gradually warming to become second only to painting and calligraphy, ceramics popular collectibles. However, the people of classical furniture collections for some of the misconceptions and a waste of a great deal of valuable timber resources. Then the proper collection of classical furniture, domestic well-known expert on classical furniture Tian Qing, Zhou silent, Emile Sheng, Zhang Dexiang give their views and suggestions.

On the only material
Tian Qing, said: "The present-day value of the furniture people have a very big misunderstanding, it depends on the value of the timber, this is a misleading concept. On the furniture, art timber carriers only, as with plaster sculpture , Drawing paper, no matter how good the paper, if it is to write a Suzi, the only words only.'s Not the standard of art furniture, will remain at the same level of use does not have the potential to appreciate works of art. "
Now that many collectors as long as they are pear, red sandalwood furniture on the rise, no matter how expensive can buy, and this is a typical "only on the material।" Many furniture manufacturers are exploiting the people of this misconception, in order to reduce costs, use of machinery for carving red sandalwood, pear wood, and so rare, and in fact the proportion of each timber, color and texture are completely different, between the timber Different physical, chemical nature of each timber type of device, such as the degree of drying process and, therefore, have the effect of art and aesthetic value is very different. Whether to use the machinery of the furniture carved out of its artistic value, just on the rare wood on the irreversible damage.

At present, Hainan has been in a pear depleted state of many people in order to make a profit, even pear roots are dug out a large number of precious wood facing depletion, but the market is full of precious wood with a large number of crude antique furniture, and There is no majority of the art form, technology, materials can only be purchased on the catty, there is no value to collectors.

Zhou said that the silent, ancient treasure is a very material. Now, a carpenter Mr. Wang Shixiang to buy books, the structure of an organization Bihuabihua swing, and growth at several hundred or even thousands of valuable timber produced a hands-on. There are a number of enterprises with modern technology and are not trained workers, jerry-building to create the so-called classical furniture, paper paste, adhesive, painting Qi, a large number of rare and lost timber, this collection of furniture to value-added, it is not Possible. A well-known domestic production in the town of antique furniture, use of computer sculpture, engraving machine more than a dozen birds out of all the leading design, sculpture has been completed, the computer automatically prompts a ring tone, the boss upstairs on down the computer In other words, a design and procedures, carving machines continue to operate with total disregard for carving wood is used today but also valuable than gold red sandalwood. In fact, the dragon design in every dynasty is not the same, about humanity's ancient sculpture, engraving of each image contains a record of human nature.

The default for the week, a collection worthy of the furniture should be set shaped the United States, the good, fine wood together, "materials-only" ideas not only faced with the depletion of rare timber, but also led to a decline in the quality collection, in particular the traditional Technology also lost production, so the classical furniture market's first call for the protection of precious raw materials.

"Old" than the "new" good

It is widely believe that old furniture is more valuable for collection, but is currently on the market to buy furniture of classical probability is very small, a lot of "old furniture" and in fact "not old." Hood said: "On one occasion, someone asked me to identify the house of the 'old furniture', but nothing is right. If the old must be single-minded enough to warrant the old, easily fooled. Classical furniture focus on its artistic value, the collection Do not just those who are still ancient, yet old. Fangjiu new technology if the exquisite furniture, but also valuable for collection. "

"All the old, old is good. This concept is wrong, modern people do some classical furniture has gone beyond his predecessors. On the field of furniture, not the concept of true and false, only the old and the new concept is more The new times are not necessarily. Now I do not hate false traffickers, as Fangjiu is a cultural heritage. Such as the Tang Dynasty was a lot of furniture have been preserved, thanks to the imitation of the Song Dynasty. Fangjiu market is not afraid, afraid of Kengren is a business, Pianqian. "

Emile Sheng proposed furniture collectors, can buy Wanli Ming and Qing Emperor Qianlong period furniture, of course, but can buy imitation of contemporary products, but also high value for collection. However, like buying new goods, fake goods should also pay attention to cultural traditions. Now a lot of very good craft artisans, follow the good tradition, if the chaos play, it is easy Zoupian Road, which is the production of the dross. For example, is carved on the furniture design Maitreya, if Diaocheng left hand holding of gold bullions, the right hand is on crutches and that is a nondescript. As a result, classical furniture collection can not be certain the old and new Quiz, some of the art of high-grade furniture is worth to collectors.

At present, China has not yet an authoritative assessment of the merits of the standard classical furniture, folk, the problem worse. Therefore judge in the classical furniture when people tend to "set-value" and focuses heavily on the techniques and materials, such Huanghua all, red sandalwood furniture or furniture of the high level of technology that is good on the furniture.

Zhang Dexiang said that the development of an evaluation of the merits of classical furniture standard is a serious problem, the judge should be all-classical furniture and can not represent the whole picture. My personal opinion is that the classical furniture of the evaluation criteria to quantify, from the rare, material, artistic, cognitive, sexual, and so to judge the value of classical furniture.

Classical furniture collection in a sense, the past is history, culture and artistic heritage of succession, but more importantly, in succession on the basis of protecting the rare and limited timber, and the production contemporary art has a value of the items . Especially in the fine old furniture is a non-renewable resource scarcity, the quality of these collections should not only the sale and possession of the flow of the Chamber of Secrets, more importantly, its research and protection of the bearer of culture, art and science and technology Inherit and carry forward the legacy to be.
