The collection of classical furniture continues to heat up, and Chinese classical home elements are popular. Amoy "old furniture" seems to have become a trend, an investment. However, ancient furniture, like other cultural relics, has a falsification phenomenon, and the method of making fakes is becoming more and more sophisticated. Here are some tips for you to crack:
1. See if the patina is naturally in the position that the user's hand often touches, and a naturally formed patina will appear. The new imitation of the patina is either unnatural or made in places that are not often touched.
2. Look at the legs and feet of the furniture. There are signs of fading and dampness. In the humid areas of the south, the furniture is usually placed directly on the mud. This will happen for a long time.
3. Looking at the floor and drawers of the furniture, such as the old table and the boring cabinet, the bottom plate and the drawer plate have an old-fashioned look. There are also matte black lacquers, but there is absolutely no fire. Then look at the drawer side panels, there should be chamfered lines on the sides to avoid hurting your hands. It is also very important to see that the blink of an eye is square, and the tip of the skull is locked. If you see two round eyes in the blink of an eye, it means that it is machined, and it must be a new imitation.
4. Look at the wood grain, some furniture will have uneven wood grain on the surface, but if you look carefully, whether it is rubbed with a wire brush, whether it is matched with the original wood grain, the hard-grained wood grain always has an unnatural feel.
5. Looking at the refurbishment of some of the cloth's chairs after renovation, the original chair ring will leave a dense nail hole, this chair is old. Some rattan chairs, the original vine surface is rotten, leaving the eyes of the vines, you can see them when you turn them over.
6. If the copper work of the old furniture of the copper work is original, it should be rubbed for decades or even hundreds of years. Copper jobs include face sheets, hinges, hinges, handles, wrap angles, bezels, lock faces, etc. Some of the better-quality furniture will also be made of white copper. It will be fascinating for a long time. . Some copper jobs will have a variety of patterns, such as animals, flowers, auspicious characters, etc. The craftsmanship is hard to imagine today. Some folks have very strong patterns, and they can also distinguish the regional style and the style of the times, thus obtaining precious humanistic information. There are also some copper jobs that take too long, although there is no patina, it will leave traces of rust, a little bit of green rust, or the surface of the board like corroded prints, these are the key to distinguish the authenticity of old furniture. one.
7. Look at the sculptures from the level of style and engraving. In the past, when the furniture was made, it was put wider in working hours, and the craftsman's mentality was quite calm, finely carved, and round and natural. Nowadays, in order to reduce the cost, the new imitation furniture is often in a hurry, and it will be exposed in the carving. In the Chinese furniture, the circle is not smooth enough, and the square is not strong enough. The border decoration of the western furniture will also appear to cut corners.
