In the investment and preservation of mahogany furniture, mahogany furniture in the market has different styles, crafts and materials. So how can we choose the furniture products we really like from the furniture market with many styles and mixed talents? We must grasp the four principles of "type, art, material and rhyme".

One is "type": it refers to the method and shape of a work, such as whether the structure is harmonious and reasonable, whether the pattern arrangement is in common with the method, whether the overall density is the method of the music, whether the rhythm is in place, and so on. Methods and modeling are directly related to the overall level and grade of a piece of furniture. No matter new or old furniture, whether the appearance and modeling is beautiful is very important, and it is also a prerequisite for purchasing and storing. When we see beautiful furniture with both shape and spirit, we can't help being infected and attracted by the artistic charm of furniture. We like "love at first sight", which makes us reluctant to leave. The high and low modeling level directly affects the price of furniture. For example, different types of classical furniture, such as Ming style Luohan bed, painting table, table, chair, etc., are compared. If we compare 10 different styles of Ming style Luohan bed, there will be a place in these models. Of course, the one with the highest investment value is the one with the highest preservation value. Can we distinguish the artistic value and concave convex quality of different models This depends on our understanding of furniture and aesthetic vision. In the antique furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are some types of furniture that are not well planned. Such furniture can only be regarded as the common and mainland products in antique furniture, and the price difference between good quality furniture is very big. We carefully study the auction price records of previous dynasties and compare different models to prove this point clearly.

Second, "art" is the craft of furniture. Under the premise of harmonious and beautiful furniture modeling, assuming the cooperation of skilled craftsmen, the modeling and craft will complement each other. To check the carpenter's skill of a classical furniture, we should judge whether the internal mortise and tenon structure is scientific, whether the panel joints are tight and robust, whether the carving and polishing are exquisite and so on. In the meantime, in terms of carving, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is purely manual operation or computer engraving machine. Generally speaking, the hypothesis of various stripes carved by machine is not processed by hand, which makes it dull and not vivid. And if it is purely manual carving, it is necessary to check the level of concave and convex carving. Different levels of technicians, they will carve out the level of great differences, carving technicians have their own strengths, some are good at Carving Dragons, some are good at carving birds, from the carving techniques of parting, there are shallow relief, deep relief, openwork and so on. Comments on the level of carving depends on whether these works can transfer knife technique, whether the carving image is vivid and lifelike, and whether the three-dimensional and spatial sense is reflected In place. In addition, grinding is also a very important part, to see whether the furniture plane concave surface is polished smooth and smooth, whether the line radian is reasonable and clean.

The third is "wood", which is the wood used in classical furniture. In the case that the modeling and craft are useless, if the beautiful and precious materials are redistributed, then the type, art and material will complement each other to present a beautiful work. The use of "wood" should not blindly seek the big and heavy, but should use sufficient information according to the style characteristics and planning requirements of each piece of furniture, and understand the distribution of data, so as to have the function of one wood and one tool. For example, Hainan Huanghua pear, because Hainan Huanghua pear has no large material, in order to make a larger type of furniture, it is necessary to use multiple data distribution to finish a piece of furniture. Each Hainan Huanghua pear has differences in stripes, color and texture, which requires careful selection and distribution, so that the furniture color can be harmonious and beautiful.

The fourth is "Rhyme": this rhyme should be a higher level in the production of classical furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The meaning of rhyme is the common style and charm shown in the case of mutual reflection of type, art and material. It is an artistic improvement based on type, art and material. If a piece of furniture can achieve both form and spirit, it is not a simple sense of furniture, it will have more artistic and cultural connotation, but also has the product value-added beyond the actual market price. Therefore, from the perspective of investment and preservation of classical furniture, whether it is the purchase of old furniture of Ming and Qing dynasties or contemporary antique furniture, we need to locate high-quality furniture, which only needs high-quality furniture to have the connotation of civilized art; it has the potential of investment preservation and value-added return; it has the function of appreciation and edifying sentiment, which brings us spiritual enjoyment in ordinary days And full, in the harmonious and beautiful furniture environment can also build a harmonious and beautiful family day, to bring their own happy every day.
