Contrast: mahogany and white wood
Shanghai Exhibition Center Redwood Fair, found that traditional Chinese classical furniture began to pay attention to "red and white points", changed the pattern of the past redwood dominated the world, red is mahogany, also known as hardwood; white is firewood, also known as softwood.
Redwood and white wood are two grades and cannot be said in the same breath. Redwood is noble and high, and is used to make high-end furniture; expensive, not affordable for the average person. Red has new and old points. Many old mahogany are old materials for demolishing houses in Thailand. In the old temple, the treasure house has seen such old houses. The lobular rosewood also has new and old points. The old one is shipped from India. These old materials do a little less. Another discovery is the old rosewood branch in Myanmar. Different from the so-called white rosewood, there is a Ming-style dining table made of old Burmese rosewood. The material reveals the texture of the old mahogany from the bones, and the natural beauty is difficult to give up. These hardwoods are all “imported goodsâ€. They are not produced in Southeast Asia, or in Africa or South America. These materials come to China in the distance and are creative in China. They are made into Ming-style Qing-style mahogany furniture, which reflects Chinese traditional art and culture. . Redwood is called Chinese, and mahogany furniture is created in China, which is universally recognized.
Besides, white wood, the classical furniture made of eucalyptus and eucalyptus at the exhibition is also good, and it is cheap and good. For the public, the price of white wood is acceptable, and it is not easy to be counterfeited. Western furniture in the Western Pavilion belongs to white wood furniture. The price has sold mahogany furniture. It is actually selling Western culture, what Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo. One exhibitor sipped "Da Ye Huang Hua Pear". I asked what the scientific name was. The other party couldn't tell, how to write the import customs declaration, can't report it, if nothing is, how can it be called "Da Ye Huang Hua Pear"? It is denied that this wood is like a pear, and the material is delicate and oily. It is a good material, but it can only be counted as white wood before the experts have issued an appraisal report. There is a Zen chair, wrapped in a transparent film, it looks like white wood. When asked, it is agarwood. The price is 160,000 RMB. It cannot be easily distinguished from the color.
