What's the story of the mahogany collection? The following is the story of mahogany collection I compiled for you, I hope it will be useful to you.

Redwood Collection Story 1 1.5 million It's a pity to sell the writing desk.

In fact, the store only let us consider it for one day, and the next day there was a buyer who knew the goods. Without saying anything, I paid 6.5438+0.5 million directly and moved the table. Great, my intestines are almost regretful.

When I was very young, my family invited two carpenters to play some furniture. I remember a knowledgeable neighbor uncle came to my house and solemnly recommended a wood called Fraxinus mandshurica to my parents. According to his general meaning: Fraxinus mandshurica is the best wood for players, and there is no one. The meaning of my neighbor's uncle reached my learned uncle's ear. I think he shook his head first, and then said slowly: Fraxinus mandshurica furniture is not bad. But to say that the best wood is not Fraxinus mandshurica anyway, it should be rosewood. One or two rosewood, three or two silver? Hmm! But rosewood is not the wood that ordinary people (603883, shares it) can use! ?

I remember, my uncle said? One or two rosewood, three or two silver? The expression at that time was so serious and affirmative, there is no doubt. In our small family, my uncle seldom expresses his opinions on anything because he is a rightist. But if his old man's house publishes it once a hundred years, usually, it is a recognized conclusion of the whole family.

This conclusion made me know before school that there is a very precious wood called rosewood in the world. But when I really saw rosewood, it was time to go to junior high school. There is a text of the Forbidden City in junior high school. In order to strengthen the teaching effect, the school took our first-year students to the Forbidden City through a spring outing. I can't remember the palace at that time. I only remember that there is a carved moon door on the left hand side of the temple gate. The commentator told us that the wood for this moon gate is very, very precious lobular rosewood.

It turns out that this dark wood is rosewood. I couldn't help being curious and touched it with my hand. Rosewood is smooth and cool, like a stone. That's right. At that time, the Forbidden City was different from now. Most palaces are still open to tourists. Just like the commentator is different from now, the commentator said: rosewood needs a lot of manpower and material resources to be shipped from distant India to Beijing in three to five years. Just transporting one item consumes the essence of countless people. Therefore, rosewood reflects the truth that when the ruling class reached its peak, its building was about to collapse. The reason why I can remember the commentator's words so clearly is that I moved them to my composition intact after I went back, and the teacher specially circled this passage with a red pen to encourage me. The teacher won't know. When transcribing this sentence, I have been thinking over and over again: my uncle said one or two rosewood, three or two silver. How much RMB can I exchange for three taels of silver?

About forty years after I first heard about rosewood, I stumbled across an expired auction album. There is a photo and detailed description of the mahogany cabinet in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in the album. Among them, there is an inscription by the original owner on the partition inside the counter, which roughly records the hardships of picking materials in the counter, and finally does not forget to load: every two rosewood, three taels of silver.

I was shocked by this detailed first-hand information. Now many articles about rosewood have been adopted? One or two rosewood, one or two gold? As a precious rhetoric to set off rosewood. But forty years ago, my uncle said? One or two rosewood, three or two silver? It is an objective expression. It is surprising that what older scholars say casually is so rigorous.

What is the real price of rosewood for the first time? Is it expensive? Location: Wanghai Village, Liulichang. I don't know which auction company received a heavy weapon and temporarily stored it here. The counterweight is a screen, which is much larger than the shadow wall of a medium quadrilateral. The screen is 30% folded and the thickness is amazing. In the middle is a dragon carving, and the rest are auspicious clouds. Someone told me that the dragon on this screen has four claws, which means it belongs to at least a prince. As for the specific person, it is being verified.

So I just followed a bunch of experts present to help me. Suddenly an old expert blurted out: What a rare thing! I think we should start with 1 10,000 anyway. ? Everyone present echoed in succession. Next to me, I almost fainted for the price of 654.38+0 million. In the 1990s, when ten thousand households were still rich, 654.38+ten thousand was an appalling figure. However, putting aside today's price of 1 10,000, I can sell iron in a big pot and take a chance, but I can take a chance. Where can I put this big guy? This is another question.

I really had the idea of winning a mahogany furniture, which was born in 2004. My lover and I went to Gaobeidian that summer. A double-sided desk made by Min caught our husband and wife's eye. Because the price is too high, it seems to have been shelved for many days. The reason why this writing desk excites me is that besides exquisite workmanship, the rosewood material used is really purple. The shopkeeper felt my sincerity and kept opening drawers and banging on the table. Further show us how strong the material used in this table is. Finally, I simply pulled my husband and wife to stick their faces on the table and observe the world-famous rosewood cow hair pattern.

At this time, just a ray of sunset shone on the table. The cow hair pattern in the eyes is detailed and vivid, with a little bit of Venus. When I clung to the desktop, I began to smell a fragrance. My heart began to beat faster, and my wife was outspoken about it. At the critical moment, after a pause, this table 1.2 million yuan has been cut to the point where there is not a penny left. Men, when they really want to sell iron, are inevitably vague. I pulled my lover aside and pointed out my opinion to her in an egg. I think this table is too easy to choose, but the cow hair pattern and Venus are too obvious. At first glance, it is easy to give people the illusion that there is a layer of soil on the desktop. My wife totally thinks I'm talking nonsense. Finally, the two of us, at the point of going home, thought for two days and reached an understanding.

In fact, the store only let us consider it for one day, and the next day there was a buyer who knew the goods. Without saying anything, I paid 6.5438+0.5 million directly and moved the table. Great, my intestines are almost regretful. My wife didn't dig at me too much, but punished me for letting her sing. That night, I ordered Richie Jen's "Rely on" several times, just for that sentence? What's yours is yours. If it's not yours, let it go. ?

It is probably this lyric poem that shows this spirit. Less than a month later, my friend Lao Sun, who knew the joke, happened to go to Fujian on business, and specially brought me a rosewood sculpture. This rosewood is really big. The content of the sculpture is three stars: blessing, luck and longevity. Surrounded by fairies and fairies, it is easy to live their fairy life. The whole carving is an old rosewood that has not been mended. The above Venus and cow hair are spread to the extreme, and the essence of the material is really unique in my life. Not only that, the carver is said to have come from a master who carved Shoushan Stone. The skills of wood carving and stone carving are mixed together, which makes the carving process more extraordinary. Of course, I can't lick my face and laugh and accept it. I admired it for a while, and quickly asked my eldest brother the price. My eldest brother waved. A birthday present for you! Don't ask the price.

To be exact, my birthday is in winter, but my birthday gift is given in summer, which makes people laugh and cry. I'm not melodramatic, unless I'm a fairy. Whoever receives such a gift will wake up in the middle of the night. I am not a fairy, so for this gift, my husband and wife woke up several times in the middle of the night. I finally have my own rosewood, but I still don't know its value.

Strangely, since this rosewood carving, the market price of rosewood is like riding a rocket. But my rosewood collection is moving against the trend, and more and more. What needs to be declared is that the valuable mahogany furniture will definitely miss me in this life. But it doesn't interfere with me, such as small rosewood carvings and rosewood bracelets. It should be said that the current rosewood is completely different from the rosewood I know. In the past, we paid attention to fashionable furniture and materials, but now we pay attention to the details of bracelets, such as fish scales, glass bottoms, or Venus' exploding stars and stars all over the sky. A certain characteristic of rosewood in the past has now become the standard of estimation.

To this end, an absurd analogy can be made: there are many kinds of toys about rosewood now, just like pigs in a butcher shop. If every part of the meat can't be sold at a price, then there must be a set of rhetoric. If this example of seeking trouble can be established unilaterally, then the already expensive rosewood can be deep and wonderful in addition to being expensive. Has become a good thing for more people.

In order to write this article, I calculated an account. Now, a string of rosewood bracelets with a diameter of two centimeters has a net weight of more than 60 grams, and it costs 700 to 800 yuan for moderate appearance. According to the international quotation of silver, it is almost one or two rosewood and three or two silver. (According to the ancient weights and measures and the purchasing power of silver, it is definitely not this algorithm. The reason why there is such a far-fetched calculation is because my uncle who first told me that one or two pieces of red sandalwood and three or two pieces of silver have been dead for almost two years. If he were still alive and knew that I was writing "Red Sandalwood" here, I guess he would ask me to add such a comment to "Red Sandalwood" at the end of the article.

Redwood Collection Story 3? Huang Huali Quinn? Wu Jiaen's Stories of Ancient Furniture Collection

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/989, Wu Jiaen had an Italian dinner with Giuseppe Eskenazi, an antique dealer from China who lives in London. Ai suddenly talked about this trip to Los Angeles. A Korean porcelain collector got a batch of China Ming-style furniture from Southern California, which was moved and sold by a Belarusian lady who once lived in China, but he didn't understand the furniture and didn't see it. In my mind, Wu Jiaen clearly saw the knife and fork in his hand, paused in the air in front of him, and stammered, Do you have any more? Can I watch it? Ai Shi laughed and promised to call after dinner. Wu Jiaen didn't know the taste of the whole meal, so he kept pacing when he got home. He can't stand it any longer. He went to the phone and asked questions. It turns out that he contacted and the things are still there. Welcome Wu Jia En to L.A. for appraisal. Wu Jiaen got up early and booked a plane ticket immediately. He set out that day and went straight to Los Angeles.

This batch of furniture happened by accident, some are excellent, some are 20 years later, and there are no examples that can be surpassed, including the four cabinets of Huanghua pear. After being shipped back to Hong Kong, it will be stored in a secret room. Jiamutang was established in 1987, and a maintenance workshop was also established. Wu Jiaen and craftsmen face Ming furniture every day. After two or three years, they have been studying and practicing, and the maintenance technology has reached a certain level. However, the four cabinets are very big and very expensive, and no one has the experience of polishing and pushing wax on such a large plane. So they decided to ask Christopher, the owner of the London furniture repair shop? ChristopherCooke came to Hong Kong to handle it. Cook Factory specializes in repairing European antique furniture. The staff are trained and have practical experience in furniture in China.

The restored Huang Huali top box cabinet is magnificent. After the photo is taken, it will be sent directly to the California Museum of Chinese Classical Furniture, curator Robert? RobertBurton called to order without looking at the real thing, and California went to California again.

Why did Ming-style furniture spread overseas from the origin of Jiangnan? Wu Jiaen said that in ancient times, ordinary people used furniture produced in local villages and towns and used local materials, such as firewood and lacquerware. High-end luxury consumer goods, which originated in the prosperous period of16th century, established a free market in China, which means that the rich people in various provinces and cities who pursue exquisite lifestyles will drink Fujian tea and use Nanjing silk, Anhui paper, pens, ink, Jingdezhen porcelain and Yixing teapot. Rich people in important towns will naturally order exquisite Huang Huali wooden furniture from the main producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Rich people in the imperial court and the capital Beijing can use the canal to transport them northward.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are examples of Ming-style furniture in all major towns along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, except in Jiangnan, where it originated. It is quite understandable that petty officers and businessmen at that time regarded Huang Huali wooden Ming-style furniture as fashion from a large number of examples in areas far away from the south of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, such as Huizhou, the hometown of Huizhou merchants, the Shanxi merchants' mansion in south-central Shanxi, and many famous historical and cultural cities in many provinces. Some furniture handed down from ancient times is made in regional style. Although it is a minority, it also shows that aristocratic giants from all over the world directly purchase wood and hire local craftsmen to make Muming furniture in Huang Huali.

Wu Jiaen revealed that in the past 20 years, she has heard and witnessed towns and areas with traces of Ming furniture. Although not comprehensive, she can indeed get some information about the origin and distribution area of Ming-style furniture from the Ming Dynasty to the last century. Mr. Wang, the father of furniture in the 20th century, believes that the main producing areas of Ming-style wooden furniture are Suzhou and Dongshan in the south of the Yangtze River. Now this furniture map of China shows that Ming-style furniture is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, with Suzhou, Dongshan and Songjiang as the center.

Finally, Wu Jiaen believes that from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Ming-style furniture was also distributed in other places except Suzhou, including Jiangyin, Nantong and other towns along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as Jiaxing, Haining, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other cities along the Hangzhou Bay. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal starts from Zhejiang, passes through Jiangsu and Shandong, enters Hebei, and reaches Beijing through Tongzhou. Many Ming-style furniture were found in towns and villages along the river. ? ""? At the end and the beginning, a large number of Ming-style furniture began to drift from place to place and cross the ocean.
