Chinese furniture is an important part of Chinese culture and has a long history. In its long history, it has created a splendid culture. Chinese furniture is the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and the common wealth of the world. In this long process, it is roughly divided into seven stages, and different styles of furniture have been formed under the social systems of different eras and different cultural backgrounds. So how do I identify classical furniture and distinguish the authenticity of classical furniture?
Identification method of classical furniture
Packing:
Generally, a naturally-occurring paste appears at the position where the user's hand often touches. The new imitation paste is either unnatural or made in places that are not touched often.
Leg and foot marks:
Watch for signs of discoloration, dampness, and flooding. Especially in the humid areas of the south, furniture is generally placed directly on the mud floor. This will happen after a long time.
Base plate and drawer plate:
For example, classical tables and stuffy cabinets, etc., the bottom plate and drawer board have an old air that the new imitation can't reach. Old goods are also painted with matte black paint, but there is absolutely no anger. Then look at the side panel of the drawer, there should be a chamfer on the side to avoid hurting your hands. Another important point is to look at the tenon. In the past, the mortises were all square, and it was the tips that locked the tenon. If you see the two ends of the mortise, it means that it is machined, and it must be new.
Wood grain:
There are uneven wood grains on the surface of some furniture, but look carefully, whether it is hardly wiped with a wire brush, and whether it matches the original wood grain. The hard wood texture of the new imitation always has an unnatural feeling.
Refurbishment marks:
There are some cloth-covered chairs in the old furniture. After the renovation, the original seat ring will leave dense nail holes, this kind of chair is old. Some rattan noodle chairs, the original rattan noodles are rotten, will leave the eyes of wearing rattan, you can see it when you turn it over.
Copper jobs:
If the copper fittings of classical furniture are original, they should be rubbed by hands for decades or even hundreds of years. Copper work pieces include face sheets, hinges, hinges, handles, corners, inserts, lock surfaces, etc. Some furniture with better materials will also be made of white copper, which will show a faint silver light after a long time. . There are various patterns on some copper work pieces, including animals, flowers, auspicious characters, etc. The essence of craftsmanship is difficult for today's coppersmiths to imitate. Some patterns with very strong folk interest can also distinguish regional customs and fashions of the times, so as to obtain precious cultural information. There are also some copper jobs that take too long. Although there is no slurry, they will leave traces of rust, a little green rust, or unevenness on the surface like a corroded print board. These are the keys to identifying the authenticity of old furniture one.
Sculpture:
Look from the style and carving level. When classical furniture system as put in the hours of work than wide, craftsmen mentality is quite calm, carved, rounded nature. Today's new imitation furniture, in order to reduce costs, often hurry to show their feet in carving, in Chinese furniture, the circle is not smooth enough, the side is not strong enough, the border floral decoration of Western furniture will also cut corners.
Identification method of classical furniture
As the essence of China's classical furniture , Ming and Qing furniture, with its fine workmanship, full cultural heritage, and huge appreciation space, naturally become a treasure that collectors gather around. However, ancient furniture, like other cultural relics in the same category, also has the phenomenon of counterfeiting, and the methods of counterfeiting are becoming more and more sophisticated. The falsification of ancient furniture has become a difficult problem that every furniture collection, hobby, and researcher cannot avoid. In fact, classical furniture seems difficult to tell the truth, in fact, as long as the fake, many places will be exposed.
Firewood furniture
There are two main methods for counterfeiting old wood and wood furniture: using traces to make and using old furniture pieces together.
Manufacturing traces: Pour rice water and tea water on the newly-made furniture, and then rest on the outdoor mud soil, let it sun and rain, after repeated several times in two or three months, the wood grain will naturally crack The paint cracked and peeled off, and the logs were dark in color, showing an old wind and rain. It seemed to have been concentrated in it for decades and hundreds of years, and it was a lie to laymen. The watermarks of genuine products are generally no more than one inch, and many of them are fake.
For some furniture with high frequency of use, such as tables and cabinets, counterfeiters usually use steel balls to wipe marks on the surface, paint them and then use a tea cup to burn out the marks, and use a knife to scratch a few impressions. Same for decades.
In order to make a paste, some counterfeiters often use lacquer wax to make a fake, and even use leather shoe polish. The naturally-occurring syrup does not feel the slightest coldness, but it has a slippery feel like jade, while the newly-made syrup feels sticky and has a strange smell. If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to tell the truth. This method is also one of the most commonly used and effective methods. In order to achieve a more realistic effect, some bosses also made a gap that was bitten by a mouse on the drawer board of the furniture, or used the old material that has been eaten by worms to make key parts. Special effects.
Patchwork furniture
Often make use of the indistinguishable characteristics of wood types, furniture made of poor wood, and furniture made of better wood. It is not difficult for consumers who understand wood to carefully compare the various components of furniture. This kind of nondescript ancient furniture, which has little practical value and lacks collection value, is easily fooled by ordinary people. There are also the use of complete ancient furniture and general wood mixed together to disassemble into multiple pieces, in order to obtain high profits. The specific method is to dismantle a piece of classical furniture , imitate one or more pieces according to the original components, and then mix the old and new components to assemble two or more pieces of furniture with some old components according to the original style. The most common example is to change a chair into a pair of chairs, which is said to be the restoration of old objects. This kind of counterfeiting is the worst, not only extremely deceptive, but also severely destroys precious ancient cultural relics. (Editor: Peter)
