30 days of new furniture turned into antique furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasty

This is really a collapse. Of the 13 pieces of Ming and Qing furniture bought at a cost of 4.5 million yuan, 11 of them were new imitations, and the expert's estimate was no more than 1.9 million yuan, of which the 2.6 million yuan difference was in vain.

Min Suiwu, standing beside a shelf bed he just bought, looked lonely.

It's not just Min Sui who suffered this. A medium-sized lobular red sandalwood chair with new materials and new materials, the current market price in Hangzhou is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and a Ming dynasty sandalwood sandalwood sandalwood (hereinafter referred to as "old red sandalwood") chair is at least 25 10,000 yuan-30,000 yuan. New work and new materials are used as fake old furniture, the purpose is to grab the price difference.

"Although furniture made of rare wood such as small leaf red sandalwood is not cheap, but if you take the role of old furniture, the counterfeiters may get 10 times higher benefits." Wang Bing, a senior collector of Hangzhou old furniture, said, regardless of Whether to collect or invest in old furniture, if you do not understand the texture and the six-color characteristics of red, purple, brown, yellow, black, and gray, you must be more cautious.

2.05 million yuan bought a new "antique"

Min Suiwu is actually a cautious person. But why are you still fooled?

"Whether it's texture, weight, paste or carving, it looks like this is a rare old red sandalwood boutique." Min Suiwu took the reporter to his house's landscape glass room and pointed to a canopy bed.

When he first saw this canopy bed in Ningbo, he was inexplicably excited. This canopy bed is full of work around, the main materials are all single wood, and the length, width and height are 2.47 meters, 1.87 meters and 2.27 meters respectively.

The canopy bed appeared in the home of a Tibetan friend in Ningbo. The whole body was dark with black hair, heavy and unusual, and finely carved.

Min Suiwu eventually bought this "antique bed" for 2.05 million yuan.

The day after the bed was transported to Hangzhou, Min Suiwu recruited friends to "palm eyes", and three or four people had different opinions. Min Suiwu simply invited the provincial collection association and several Beijing experts who specialize in Ming and Qing furniture to appraise the 13 pieces of furniture he bought in the past year. The results surprised him: except for a top cabinet and a writing desk, other All are contemporary imitations.

Min Suiwu thought that the old red sandalwood canopy bed used by the Qing court was a contemporary imitation, and the material was Nepalese leaf red sandalwood. Ge Haizhen, general manager of Beijing Jiejia Redwood, saw the bed and said that the current market value is about 650,000 to 800,000 yuan. The purchase price has shrunk by more than 1 million yuan compared to 2.05 million yuan.

Collectors and lawyers say it is very difficult to return

Since it was determined to be a new imitation, Min Suiwu certainly wanted to return it. "I went to Ningbo to find a seller, but the other party didn't succeed. He said that this is for eyesight, and denied that he said that it was 'Ming and Qing furniture'." Min Suiwu also lost his confidence-the buyer and seller did not sign the agreement.

Min turned to the provincial collection association. "This kind of rights protection is very difficult, and the success rate is very low." He Shanda, vice president of the Provincial Collection Association, said that the first seller is an individual rather than an enterprise, and there is almost no market integrity constraint; the second party has no agreement, and Mr. Min cannot prove that the seller is in It is marketed under the name of "Furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties"; the third collection industry generally refers to this situation as "eye-piercing".

He Shanda suggested that Mr. Min sue to the court.

Lawyer Mei Ning of Zhejiang Junan Century Law Firm said that without proof, the product can only be used as new furniture to protect rights. If Mr. Min wants to return the goods, he must explain the obvious quality defects of the goods. "But as a new mahogany furniture, there is no quality problem with the canopy bed."

Old furniture has formed an industrial chain

13 pieces of furniture, 11 pieces are old. Where do these fake old furniture come from?

"As far as the domestic is concerned, 'Ming and Qing furniture' is produced in Dacheng County, Hebei; as far as Zhejiang is concerned, a lot of old furniture comes from Ningbo," said a well-known collector in Hangzhou.

On February 13, the reporter came to a street of old furniture in a town in Cixi, Ningbo, which the collector said. The furniture piled up in the mountain is new and old, and many of the furniture that appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties are selling at an astonishingly low price: a set of large-leaf red sandalwood square tables (a table, four chairs) in the mid-Qing Dynasty priced at 82,000 yuan; At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the leaflet rosewood circle chair was priced at 17,800 yuan; a Ming Dynasty Huanghuali tea table was priced at 19,000 yuan.

In this small town, the reporter has successively met the heads of five furniture factories with the signature of "antique and old", and three of them made it clear that they can provide antique or old and old furniture. Take a large-leaf rosewood circle chair as an example, the prices of antique, old and repaired are mostly 15,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan and 35,000 yuan.

New work to antiques can be completed in 30 days

It takes only 1 month from the new furniture to the completion of the old one, and it takes about 20 steps during the period. If the quantity is large, the cost of making it old (take a circle chair as an example) is generally less than 500 yuan / piece, and the price of old furniture often doubles.

In a furniture factory that only "made foreign trade furniture", the reporter saw all aspects of the old age, including heating, sanding, coloring, sanding, caustic soda, dyeing and so on.

The old furniture has been passed down for many years, and naturally it will leave a lot of marks including damage, stains, and burnout. However, the new furniture does not have these appearances, and the old is artificially made such marks.

First, the new furniture must be smashed and disassembled, and then knocked on the necessary parts to form damage or gaps, and then these materials are baked at high temperature to deform, crack, and put in cold water to shrink violently. This is a prerequisite process for making old.

In order to make the traces of the furniture more obvious, after the parts are reassembled and polished, the old man will use a blowtorch to bake, and some parts will be carbonized. If the carbonized color is not true, it needs to be colored and polished with leather shoe polish.

Furniture has been used for a long time, the surface will generate a layer of warm light, jargon is called "bagging". In order to make the new furniture also have a "bagging", it is generally necessary to use the grass to polish it. The grass is dried first and then soaked in water, and then used to slowly polish the luster of the wood. Next, you need to wax and polish for a second time.

It is not enough to make a good package. The part of the furniture that touches the ground is another key to getting old. Older people usually flush the sand first-that is, putting the chair legs in the sand and repeatedly grinding, the damaged parts will be more real and smooth.

In addition, because of the moisture on the ground, after using the furniture for a long time, the legs will be white. This whitening is achieved by soaking in white vinegar for a week.

After washing the sand and making vinegar, it is soaking alkali-mixing quick lime into paste to coat the surface of furniture. After watering, quicklime will generate heat and corrode the surface of furniture to form a sense of vicissitudes. If you want to make the sense of history more obvious, you can also use potassium permanganate brush; followed by the second coloring of hair dye and other substances, rinse with hydrogen peroxide, and secondary polishing.

So far, the furniture has been worn out for about 25 days, no matter which aspect is quite old-fashioned.

The final process is "beauty": put the old furniture in a damp place such as a bird cage or a pigeon cage. A week later, bird droppings and spider webs will be available, which will cause the illusion that the furniture has not been used for a long time.
