How to identify the old wooden furniture on Taobao?

With the improvement of the market awareness of old boat wood furniture, many old boat wood lovers don't know much about the authenticity identification method of old boat wood furniture. Here, Bian Xiao will analyze the basic methods to distinguish the authenticity of ancient wooden furniture. There are some key points in the counterfeiting of old wooden furniture, which can be easily identified by consumers as long as they carefully observe and compare when buying;

1. Knife cutting: Many old shipyards grind grooves with different lengths and uneven distribution on the plane of old ship wood. This kind of groove is mainly in the middle of an old wooden furniture, mainly to make the old wooden furniture look rougher and more irregular. Generally, old ship wood does not have such grooves. It is normal for old planks to have cracks, because they are exposed to seawater for a long time, but cracked old planks will not be made into old planks furniture.

Second, knife splitting: it is mainly reflected in the irregular triangular gap or groove on the wooden furniture of the old ship, mainly at the edge of an old wooden furniture, which is also to make the wooden furniture of the old ship rougher.

Third, fire: this way of fire is easy to distinguish, it is mainly used on the head of the old ship wood, and the old ship wood after the fire is more vicissitudes.

4. Punching: Some unscrupulous merchants mix new materials into the wooden furniture of old ships, manually punch holes in the new materials, then polish them, and then apply primer and topcoat to the holes. This kind of barrel with holes is different from ordinary ship wood screw holes. The normal wooden screw holes of old ships are all plugged with white ash+tung oil+board hemp. This ancient traditional plugging method is very firm. Therefore, the normal wooden screw holes of old ships will leave traces of white ash more or less, because they are firm and troublesome to clean, and the screw holes are not easy to handle, so it is abnormal to say that the wooden screw holes of old ships are black and smooth. Then there are the number of screw holes in the wood of the old ship. If there are multiple screw holes within 0.3 square meters, this situation is basically abnormal. Few screw holes on the ship are so dense. If it is too dense, the wood will not be strong. Moreover, such a dense screw dismantling shipyard basically does not keep logs, but basically saws them off, because it is not easy to disassemble at all, and it takes a lot of time and manpower. If you go to the shipyard to see the demolished old ship wood, you will understand that you can't find such a dense old ship wood with screw holes;

5. Make the background color: the truly high-quality old ship wood material will not make the background color, or even paint it. In order to highlight the material of old wood, good old wood will generally retain the original color of ship wood, and only need to be polished by hand and waxed for maintenance. This kind of old ship wood looks more advanced, with purple in red and black in purple. This kind of ship wood loses its value if it is painted. Many mahogany furniture factories use this red old ship wood. Old wooden boats with background color are all ordinary ship wood, and even some merchants have added new materials with background color for the old treatment, and the third type is mostly black. This, combined with manual punching, looks more like an old wooden boat, but fraud is fraud after all. No matter how you describe it, it's not natural for a really old wooden boat to turn black after being oxidized by seawater. Not only is the surface blackened, but the whole fast wood is infiltrated and blackened. The artificial background color is only the surface layer. Knife cutting, axe chopping, fire burning, coloring and punching are all common means to make old ones.
