The purchase of mahogany furniture needs to distinguish the material identification process

There are two pieces of mahogany furniture that look like 80% similarity. Why can the price be several times or even ten times? In fact, there are many types of mahogany furniture on the market, and the materials and processes are different. The price difference is normal. However, is it normal that the price difference between the two pieces of mahogany furniture that looks the same is quite large? What is the reason for the large spread? As a consumer who doesn't know how to do it, which is the most cost-effective?

These problems have caused headaches for mahogany furniture consumers. The old mahogany nets have to pay attention to the two differences that must be paid attention to when purchasing mahogany furniture:

Material identification

The same category of rosewood fraud

Several types of mahogany in the same category are difficult for consumers to distinguish because of similar texture, properties, color, and density. In terms of price, the prices of different materials are different, and the production costs are also different. For some profit-seeking purposes, some merchants will pretend to be high-priced mahogany with low-priced mahogany.

At present, the most common in the market are seven kinds of wood such as red rosewood and Sian rosewood. Among the seven types of wood, S. chinensis has the highest cost. Made from Central America, Dalbergia sinensis, Bahrain Dalbergia and A. sinensis from Southeast Asian countries are often used as saplings. Consumers should be cautious when buying too cheap. Please ask the merchant to write the scientific name of the wood used for future rights protection.

Discrimination method: Compared with Dalbergia chinensis, Dalbergia chinensis is produced in Central America, and the growth wheel is more obvious. The new cut surface of Dalbergia chinensis is dark red or purple, and the dimpled Dalbergia is orange-red, but the color is deep and deep. The two colors are relatively close.

Some merchants also use the same texture of wood to impersonate mahogany materials. For example, ironwood beans pretend to be red rosewood, and Kodiva red sandalwood (commonly known as ketan) is a sandalwood rosewood (commonly known as lobular rosewood). Others will be used in concealed parts such as dental plates, side panels, etc., and bold businesses use fake materials.

Sapwood shoddy

The dark part of the wood is called "heartwood", while the whitish part that surrounds the heartwood is called "white skin", also called "sapwood". Only wood heartwood can be called "redwood", white skin can not be called "redwood".

The white skin is easily eroded by insects, which not only affects the aesthetics of the furniture, but also affects the firmness and service life of the furniture. The price of heartwood is dozens of times that of white leather. According to the national light industry standard "Dark and expensive hardwood furniture": "The front side of the product should be free of sapwood; the sapwood content of the surface of other parts should not exceed the surface area of ​​the part. 1/10 (the sapwood with a width less than 8mm is not counted)."

Discrimination method: There is a clear color difference between the white skin and the heart material, and the color is generally adjusted by painting. Inconspicuous position of the furniture If the color is dark or the pattern is not visible, you need to pay attention.

You can carefully discern whether there is texture inside under strong light. If you are sure to purchase, you can ask the shop home sandpaper to polish some of the paint to observe the quality of the inner wood. If the furniture is custom-made, you can carefully observe whether the furniture is whitened and the material is flawed before painting on the finished product.

Discrimination process

榫卯 structure cut corner

The 榫卯 structure is the essence of Chinese classical furniture. It does not need a nail and a rivet to make the furniture parts firmly combined. However, in the production process, some merchants use iron nails or even glue instead to reduce labor and material use costs.

Discrimination method: When purchasing, carefully observe whether the joint position of the parts is firm and tight, and whether there is any trace of the polished surface to block the nails. If nails are used, the probability of cracking of the surrounding wood is greater. It can also be detected by magnetite or metal detectors.

Engraving

Nowadays, the mahogany furniture on the market is mostly a replica of classical furniture. Engraving, as an important part of furniture processing and decoration, determines the appearance of mahogany furniture.

At present, the carving methods of mahogany furniture are divided into two types: machine carving and hand carving. The common uniform patterns on mahogany furniture, such as moiré and grass, are almost all machine carvings. For some pattern decoration, the basic pattern is often created by the machine carving, and then processed by hand carving. In order to reduce costs, some merchants often eliminate the hand-engraving process, and the carved patterns are relatively rigid, and the product quality naturally declines.

Discrimination method: To judge whether the furniture engraving process is excellent, it is necessary to observe the details of the engraving part. If it is a relief, it depends on the joint with the furniture body. The hand-carved parts are often round and natural, and are integrated with the furniture. If it is openwork, it depends on whether the lines are round, whether there are traces of knifework, whether the lines are polished inside and outside, whether the corners and arcs are natural.
