[ Chinese wardrobe net ] ancient furniture, "Huaxia" collection is not a small number, and most of them are the court's emperors, empresses, emperors, emperors and nobles supplies. These precious, luxurious and exquisite antique furniture not only embellish the complete and perfect collection of the “Huaxia†cultural relics collection, but also highlight the colorful furniture culture in ancient China.
From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the end of the 1970s, Ming and Qing furniture was never seen as antiques or art. In the 1980s, people were influenced by Western home decoration styles, and they changed their old tables and chairs into new furniture such as sofas and cabinets. At that time, a large amount of hardwood furniture was sold at a low price, or it was removed and replaced with other appliances. A pair of huanghuali circle chairs can only sell for more than ten yuan at that time.
The sharp rise in furniture collections in the Ming and Qing Dynasties began in 1985. At that time, Wang Shizhen’s book "The Ming Dynasty Furniture Treasures" was published and published in the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions. Inspired by the book, a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan collectors began to flood into the mainland, to the low-cost acquisition of the remaining Ming and Qing furniture.
With the involvement of collectors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the prices of Chinese classical furniture in overseas markets have soared, and their rate of increase has approached or exceeded that of calligraphy and painting and porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 1990s, such folk furniture with Chinese folk flavors began to enter international auction houses in New York, London, and Hong Kong.
The reason why Chinese ancient furniture is favored is that the first thing is that it is rare. These classical furniture were made a hundred years ago, and the bulky and bulky furniture was the most difficult to preserve, and it was not completely preserved and found. Moreover, classical furniture has encountered two major disasters in the history of our country. First, where the Japanese aggressors went, the expensive wooden furniture was destroyed as firewood; the second was that the Cultural Revolution broke the "four olds", and the ancient furniture was regarded as "sealing, capital, and repairing". All these kinds of things lead to the rarity of ancient furniture, which makes the existing ancient homes favored, and the market has great potential for value-added. Those with vision and economic strength are willing to invest in ancient furniture collection. Secondly, the classical furniture is exquisite in craftsmanship and has high practical value. In terms of craftsmanship, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are the peak period of China's traditional furniture manufacturing industry. They have formed different styles of Ming-style furniture and Qing Dynasty furniture. These furniture are often produced without cost or work time, regardless of style or workmanship. Rules, high practical value, exquisite craftsmanship and high artistic appreciation. Again, the material is superior. From the use of materials, Ming and Qing furniture use a lot of precious wood such as red sandalwood, huanghuali, rosewood, etc., such timber resources are increasingly exhausted, and most of the production process has been lost, which determines that the trend of appreciation is irreversible. In addition, ancient furniture has a profound cultural connotation. Chinese classical furniture embodies the unique historical information and humanistic atmosphere of the nation. Its design idea implies the spirit of ancient Chinese philosophy that is in harmony with the environment. It is more worthy of collectors' cherish, collection and research than pure art.
