Right now, the collection of old furniture continues to heat up, and Chinese classical home furnishing elements are very popular. Amoy "old furniture" seems to have become a trend and a fashion. The falsification of ancient furniture has become a thorny problem that every furniture collection hobby and researcher cannot avoid. Mr. Ding Zhanjia told reporters that classical furniture seems to be difficult to distinguish between authenticity and authenticity, but if you usually contact the market, learn some common sense of furniture, and master some of the following identification techniques, then identifying ancient furniture will become much easier.
1. Look at the sculpture
The authenticity of old furniture can also be inspected from the style and carving level. In the past, when furniture was made, it was relatively wide in working hours, and the artisan's mentality was also quite calm, finely carved, round and natural. Nowadays, in order to reduce costs, new imitation furniture is often in a hurry, and the carving will show itself. The circle is not smooth enough, and it is not strong enough.
Second, look at the wood grain
There are uneven wood grains on the surface of some furniture , but look carefully, whether it is hardly wiped out with a wire brush, and whether it matches the original wood grain. The hardly rubbed wood grain always has an unnatural feeling.
Third, look at copper jobs
If the copper fittings of the old furniture are original, they should be rubbed by hand 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 work pieces that take too long. Although there is no slurry, they will leave traces of rust, a little green rust, or the surface is corroded unevenly. These are the keys to identifying the authenticity of old furniture.
Fourth, look at the bottom plate and drawer board of the furniture
For example, old tables and stuffy cabinets, etc., the bottom plate and the drawer board have an old look that does not look like. Then look at the side panel of the drawer, there should be a chamfer on the side to avoid hurting your hands. Another point is very important. Looking at the tenon, the past tenon is square, and the tenon is the one that locks the tenon. If you see the two ends of the mortise, it means that it is machined, and it must be new.
Fifth, see if the package is natural
Old furniture generally has a naturally-formed paste at a position where the user's hands often touch. The new imitation paste is either unnatural or made in places that are not touched often.
Six, look at the traces of repair
After the renovation of some fabric chairs, the original seat ring will leave dense nail holes, this kind of chair is old. In some rattan-faced chairs, the original rattan noodles are rotten, leaving behind eyes that can be seen when turned over.
7. Look at the legs and legs of the furniture for signs of fading and dampness
In the humid areas of the south, furniture is generally placed directly on the mud floor, which will happen after a long time. (Editor: Peter)
