The difference between Beijing furniture and Guangdong mahogany furniture

Mahogany furniture has a strong regional culture. The traditional mahogany furniture represented by Beijing, including Shanxi, Hebei, Tianjin and Beijing, is called Beijing mahogany furniture. Its main features are generous design, large volume and grand momentum, and its technology is not as good as that of the Soviet Union. The patterns and patterns of Beijing Royal Fan are mainly used for carving. Guangzuo furniture features the regional culture of South China with Guangzhou as the center. Since its opening in the late Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou Port has been the center of international freight trade. There are many raw materials of mahogany, and Guangzuo furniture does not hesitate to use them. All the furniture is made of imported mahogany, and even the rungs in the hidden parts are made of mahogany, which is thick. Western culture was first introduced into Guangzhou, and widely used mahogany furniture once became a leader in China. The carving patterns were mainly western culture, including mother-of-pearl with local characteristics. By the time of the Republic of China, Shanghai, Tianjin and other open ports were all over China, and the raw materials of mahogany went deep into the hinterland of China, so extensive mahogany furniture no longer had material advantages. Su Zuo and other schools carry forward traditional culture and absorb western culture, becoming the top representatives of mahogany furniture!
