Chinese style furniture

Chinese furniture expresses the pursuit of elegance, implication, dignity and oriental spirit. Only the most striking features of traditional furniture are the "Wan Ziwen" and "Huizhou" patterns of royal furniture. "official hat" type, in the treatment of furniture feet, more use is "horseshoe" feet!

Identification method

There are several main points. First of all, we can see whether the patina of furniture is natural and clear. Generally speaking, there will be natural patina where people often touch with their hands. The new imitation patina is either unnatural or some appear in unnecessary positions.

Besides looking at patina, we can't comprehensively summarize the quality of furniture. We can also look at the wood grain of furniture. Some furniture surfaces will have uneven wood grains, but look carefully to see if they are worthy of the original wood grains. The newly imitated hard ground wood grain always has an unnatural feeling.

Also pay attention to the traces of furniture legs and feet, mainly depending on whether the legs and feet are faded, damp and flooded, especially in humid areas in the south. Furniture is generally placed in humid places, which is prone to the above situation over time.

It can also be distinguished from furniture carving, mainly focusing on the style and carving level of furniture. In the past, when making furniture, the requirements for carving were relatively loose, and the attitude of carving craftsmen was quite calm, meticulous, round and natural. In Chinese furniture, the circle is not smooth enough and the square is not strong enough, and the border decoration of western furniture will also cut corners.
