Su-style furniture in Ming Dynasty is generous, concise, beautiful in shape, smooth in lines, moderate in proportion and exquisite in materials. Today, I will explain the characteristics and identification methods of Soviet-style furniture for you.

Characteristics of Soviet-style furniture

Generous style is the first feature of Soviet-style furniture, which is simple and generous, without any complicated carving and inlaying, even if it is carving and inlaying, it is very simple and traditional. Sculptures in Soviet-style furniture are mostly inlaid in small pieces, and large-scale carving of the whole page is extremely rare. Common mosaic materials are mostly jade, ivory, Luodian, colored stones of various colors, and various wood carvings. There are more chicken wings in the woodcarving. The advantage of this mosaic technology is that it can make full use of materials. At the same time, Soviet-style furniture is a continuous cropping, which runs through from top to bottom. Unlike qing dynasty furniture, the parts are separated. Its purpose is not to let people see the flaws. Usually, joint treatment is carried out at the corners to keep the wooden texture on the surface of furniture intact, which not only saves materials, but also does not destroy the neat effect of furniture itself.

Su-style furniture, whether it is local section, local pattern or overall shape, is round and soft, giving people a natural aesthetic feeling. The main materials of Soviet-style furniture are Huang Huali, rosewood, iron rosewood, chicken wing wood, beech wood and other high-quality hardwoods. Because these woods are hard in texture, natural in color, beautiful in texture, etc., in order to fully display these natural wood colors, craftsmen in Song and Yuan Dynasties changed their painting and description techniques, and used polishing and waxing techniques instead of painting, which showed the natural beauty of wood to the greatest extent, which is one of the most obvious characteristics of Soviet-style furniture.

Characteristics of Soviet-style furniture

Soviet-style furniture should not only be beautiful in appearance, but also save materials, so that furniture has a handsome style, which is the result of subjective pursuit under objective conditions. With the development of social economy, the change of social atmosphere and the change of rulers' psychology in Qing Dynasty, the modeling and decoration of furniture developed rapidly in a rich, complex and gorgeous direction. The biggest feature of Soviet-style furniture is that it is light and compact in shape, simple and beautiful in decoration, and not as dignified as Cantonese-style furniture. Every detail and space size of Ming-style Soviet-style furniture have been repeatedly scrutinized, and even the furnishings have a set of mutually adaptive norms.

Appraisal method of Soviet furniture

The material of Soviet furniture is mainly solid wood, so the identification method is mainly solid wood furniture. General solid wood furniture has a certain amount of scars. Generally, many solid wood materials used in solid wood furniture are solid wood processing plates with discontinuous wood grain. The section is generally rough, and you can see the annual rings, so you can see whether it is made of a whole piece of wood. Open the furniture doors and drawers to observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If you see it is very dazzling, artistic and changeable in structure, it is probably not all solid wood.
