"Mahogany furniture is a symbol of identity and wealth in the minds of ordinary people. There is an old saying that' people are divided into three or six grades, and wood is divided into rosewood', so in the past, mahogany furniture was also a symbol of personal identity and wealth. In ancient times, emperors used Huang Huali and rosewood, and ministers and bureaucrats could only use rosewood and rosewood. Huang Huali is not allowed, because it is stained with the word "yellow". This is why mahogany furniture has been popular for hundreds of years. " Ms Teng, the person in charge of Yimei Baixin mahogany furniture, said that the yield of mahogany is extremely low, which is the main reason for the soaring price of mahogany. It takes 500 years or even thousands of years for redwoods to become wood. When a redwood tree is cut down, many precious redwoods are hard to find, such as Huang Huali in Hainan, China and redwoods in Southeast Asia. In recent years, most Southeast Asian countries have banned the export of mahogany raw materials, which is also the reason why the price of mahogany raw materials is running all the way. In the past twenty years, the price of mahogany furniture has increased by nearly ten thousand times. In recent years, the annual value-added of domestic mahogany furniture and handicrafts is generally around 10%. Since the beginning of 2006, the mahogany market has continued to rise, and the average price of mahogany furniture has increased by more than 200%. Since 2006, the price of raw materials of mahogany has increased by 30%~40% on average every year, among which the increase of mahogany has reached 150%~300%. Click to view the original picture. In addition to the scarcity of resources, mahogany furniture has at least four values or benefits:
The first is to preserve and increase value.
Two gentlemen spent 10 years ago to buy a sofa in 10 yuan. One of them bought a mahogany sofa, and the other bought a leather sofa. 10 years later, the leather sofa is really skinless. The owner can only invite it to the garbage dump. The mahogany sofa is not only more refined, but also doubled in value from 6,543,800 yuan in that year to 6,543,800 yuan now.
The second is medical care.
Real mahogany furniture is natural, and it is used naked. The faint fragrance of good mahogany makes people feel very comfortable, helps them sleep and has strong health care functions. Some medical experts have come to the conclusion through experiments that rosewood has good heat dissipation and breathability, and its faint fragrance can refresh people. More importantly, it is strong and suitable for making tables and chairs. Sour tree flower also has a certain health care effect on lumbar spine. Rosewood and fragrant wood have some faint fragrance, which is very beneficial to people's body and mind when they diffuse in the air. But ebony is the most suitable for making some decorations. Its odor removal and adsorption effect is very good, which can purify polluted air and adsorb heavy metals and toxic substances in the air. Tea tables, tea sets and rice bowls for drinking tea are generally made of chicken wing wood. Under the stimulation of hot water, the tea set made of chicken wing wood will emit a natural aroma and have a refreshing effect. Chicken wing wood itself is flexible and not afraid of water, so it is the best material for making tea sets. Rosewood is called "gold in wood". After repeated rubbing, its sawdust will emit "wood oxygen", which can not only calm the nerves and refresh the brain, but also promote cell regeneration after long-term contact. Preventing wrinkles is especially good for the skin. Dalbergia hainanensis, commonly known as huanghuali, has the health care functions of lowering blood pressure, reducing blood fat, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, slimming and beautifying. It is a good wood for beds, beds, chairs and stools made in Huang Huali, which can relax the nerves, soothe the nerves and help sleep.
The third is ornamental.
The artistry of mahogany furniture is first related to the content of carving. Sculpture of figures, landscapes, birds and animals and other comprehensive types requires high difficulty and skill, and should be the top grade in the same type of furniture. From the perspective of carving alone, the deeper, bigger, more and finer the pattern, the greater the effort and the higher the value. Mahogany furniture can be divided into Ming and Qing styles. Ming-style lines are round, simple and generous, and there are not many complicated carvings. In Qing dynasty, there were many complicated patterns, such as peony, bat, scenery and so on. It's a work of art.
Fourthly, it has high practical value.
Redwood is not only suitable for investment, but also very practical. It does not exist in a certain place after purchase, but gradually appreciates in use. High-end customers buy mahogany and yellow gorgeous products as investment. The purchase of rosewood products by general consumer groups can also be regarded as investment. A Wen, the head of Yimeixin mahogany furniture, said that most of the current customers pay equal attention to investment and practicality. Browse the original magazine
