Due to different styles and materials, the price difference of Cantonese furniture in the late Qing Dynasty ranged from several times to dozens of times. Although both tables are furniture from the late Qing Dynasty, the price difference is more than ten times. One of them is made of rosewood, and the market price is about 1000 yuan. The market price of another piece of Kundian wood is around 800 yuan.
