Debunking: Mahogany furniture as a fake 13 strokes

In the past, ceramics, calligraphy and painting have always been the mainstream of leisure class acquisitions. Nowadays, traditional furniture integrating carving, inlaying and even painting art is more and more popular among people. Compared with other categories, furniture itself has the characteristics of combining art and practicality. It is both ornamental and durable. Traditional furniture has become an indispensable embellishment in the living room of people. The profound cultural connotation of traditional furniture has been recognized by more and more people, and its prices at auctions at home and abroad have also risen.

A hand-crafted classical furniture, from the selection of materials to the production of molding, through the natural drying of wood, drawing, roughing, carving, fine carving, polishing, waxing or enamel paint and other steps. When the labor costs, the finished product is carefully carved. Fine and meticulous, the excellent furniture handed down to the world is generally the perfect combination of “materials and craftsmanship”. No matter its materials or workmanship, it is meticulous, elegant and generous, with profound humanistic connotations, and can withstand meso-slow products. Nowadays, the "antique" furniture, driven by profits, only wants to make shaped furniture as soon as possible, and immediately sells and sells good prices. In the process of furniture making, it naturally does not follow the steps, just blindly cut corners, "more pleasant provinces." ". Such finished furniture is either used for a period of time, deformed or warped, or the carving is rough. Under the meso view, the local shovel is not polished, the corners are left with knife marks or burrs, and the pattern is blurred. Great scenery. Therefore, in order to find a perfect classical furniture in the case of fake goods and inferior goods, the first thing is to practice a pair of discerning and savvy eyes, to achieve the purpose of falsification.

In view of this, the experts have written an article to reveal the fake tricks of these old furniture. Now the author refers to the results of these experts and combines their many years of experience, the comprehensive record is as follows, for reference in the identification.

The first trick: to fill the good

Using hardwood furniture materials that are difficult to distinguish, furniture made of poor wood, mixed with furniture made of wood. The materials used in the ancient Chinese traditional furniture are mostly made of precious sandalwood, huanghuali, wenge, iron, mahogany, etc. Although these woods have their unique physical properties in terms of specific gravity, color and texture, they are grown. The difference in growth age, the shift of the position of the wood (such as sapwood, heartwood), and the change in the angle of the saw when cutting the material, will appear contrary to the standard wood sample on the book, in the natural color It is extremely confusing with the texture, so that the driller has a chance. In addition, even if the natural color is inconsistent with the high-grade wood, speculators will change the wood color and pretend to be high-end furniture. Due to the difference in fashion, from the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the 1930s, due to the favor of the court and the literati, the hardwood furniture was not expensive and expensive, so most of the fake wood was painted black, if there were grass pears The furniture is painted black and impersonated with red sandalwood. Now the fake hardwood furniture, imitation mahogany, imitation rosewood and so on. Imitation mahogany is to soak the wood chips in water, and then thicken the red and purple, then apply the brush to the wood surface several times. After drying, mix with 5 parts of juice, 1 part of big red or gold gold powder, apply the surface with a fine brush, dry, and wax. Imitation rosewood, coated with potassium permanganate or potassium butyrate on wood, oxidized to brown by air, and then red liquid. In order to strengthen the black-brown effect, the method of changing the coating of potassium butyrate and black is used. After drying, waxing and glazing, a dark and deep "red sandal furniture" is grandly presented.

The second measure: shifting flowers

With the deepening of the years, many ancient furniture are often exposed to the sun and rain, poorly preserved, and the components are severely damaged. It is extremely difficult to repair as it is. Therefore, there are people who are engaged in transplanting and transplanting wood, transplanting the residual structure of non-similar varieties, making it difficult to belong, not inferior. Ancient furniture. However, this kind of ancient furniture that is not a horse, has little practical value and lacks collection value, is generally easy to be deceived. The above-mentioned pseudo-manipulation is often used to change the canopy bed into a arhat bed. There are many components on the upper part of the canopy bed, and they are detachable, so they are easily lost in the world. The furniture manufacturer often uses the canopy bed seat after the column is cut off, and the bed wall with the canopy bed on the three sides is sold as an Arhat bed.

The third measure: to charge more

“rare” is an important manifestation of the value of ancient furniture. Therefore, many furniture dealers have turned into half-tables, large square tables, and small square tables that have been handed down and are not worth much. They have been converted into relatively rare drawer tables, cases, and chess tables. In fact, the reform of ancient furniture by speculators varies from one device to another, and it is difficult to distinguish them without careful research.

The fourth measure: split a group of two

Use the complete ancient furniture, demolished into multiple pieces, in order to obtain high profits. Specifically, after disassembling an ancient piece of furniture, one or more pieces are imitated as they are, and then the old and new parts are mixed and assembled into two or more pieces of original furniture each containing some of the old parts. The most common example is to change a chair into a pair of chairs, or even put together four pieces for a nickname, all of which are old objects. This kind of pseudo-manual method is the worst, not only extremely deceptive, but also seriously destroys precious ancient artifacts. If we find that the identified home has more than half of the components to be matched, we should consider whether this is the case.

The fifth measure: make a face-lift

Speculators sometimes arbitrarily change the original structure and decoration. If some people think that the time-style furniture that looks more "sugar" (no decoration, carving) may be earlier. As a result, the decorations on some precious handed down furniture were deliberately removed to pretend to be the furniture of the earlier age. This act of falsification is also a kind of destruction.

The sixth measure: miscellaneous materials

This practice is often seen in packaged furniture. The inlaid furniture was already in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, some Soviet-style furniture had these characteristics, mainly for the sake of “saving materials”, not for the purpose of copying classical furniture and simply making huge profits. Some of the so-called "hardwood" furniture now have a method of "skinning" on the surface of furniture made of ordinary wood, that is, a very thin hardwood skin is attached, and the inner core part is not expensive. Miscellaneous wood, disguised as "full" hardwood furniture, sold at high prices. The seams of the inlaid furniture are often decorated with the above colors and fillings, and the workmanship is fine, and the appearance can be chaotic. It should be noted that some furniture is for functional needs (such as the piano table, in order to obtain a good resonance effect, it needs to use non-hardwood as the frame), or for other reasons, it has to be packaged to seek unity, not to be false. Column.

Stainless Steel Wire Rope: a flexible rope twisted with multiple or multiple strands of fine steel wire. The steel wire rope is twisted into strands by multiple layers of steel wire, and then takes the core as the center, and is twisted into a helical rope by a certain number of strands. In material handling machinery, it is used for lifting, pulling, tensioning and carrying. The steel wire rope has high strength, light weight, stable operation, not easy to break suddenly and reliable operation. The steel wire rope plays the role of bearing the load, and its performance is mainly determined by the steel wire. The steel wire is a round (or special-shaped) wire made of stainless steel, carbon steel or alloy steel by cold drawing or cold rolling.
