Enthusiastically believes in the realm of "Real estate is worse than real estate"
"There has been a popular saying in the circle that speculation is better than speculation. Because the house can be rebuilt, but this kind of classic furniture has few raw materials, especially in the collection market. Many furniture are unique, and their value-added space is very large. of."
A senior executive of the company pointed to a pair of Huanghuali palace court chairs: "The pair of Huanghuali court court chairs only cost 60,000 yuan in 10 years, but now it has risen to 900,000 yuan.

In the past few days, Li Jianxin, who specializes in collecting high-end hardwood ancient furniture, is busy with the auction of incense burner and study of mixed porcelain on June 23 this year. To his delight, recently, he spent 4 million yuan from Tokyo, Japan to take back a Qing Qianlong royal rosewood inlaid treasure treasure flower and bird screen. Not long ago, there was a rumor in the collection industry that the price of a piece of mahogany furniture had plummeted. A set of 10 pieces of mahogany furniture with a price of 80 million yuan was now sold for less than 600,000 yuan.
Big collector
The proud collection was bought back from Boston, USA
Entering the "Ximuzhai" on Huimin Road, I saw that the two-storey exhibition halls are all displayed with various antique wooden furniture. "Most of them are Indian small leaf red sandalwood, Hainan Huanghua pear, and of course there are Thai red rosewood. My table is Thailand's red rosewood, and everyone in the circle calls it high-end hardwood furniture." Hangzhou Huitong Culture and Art Investment Co., Ltd. Manager Li Jianxin said.
Li Jianxin was born in Nantong, Jiangsu. When he was young, he had a lot of antique furniture in his home. Afterwards, he was destroyed by the war. "When I have ample money, I miss the old antiques in my home and step by step on the road of collection." The industry has been battling for more than 20 years.
Over the years, one of his favorite collections was a Ming Dynasty Huanghuali inlaid top treasure court cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. The reporter saw that the cabinet was divided into upper and lower parts, all made of Huanghua pear. It is rare that the front panel of the cabinet is also inlaid with precious color materials such as snail, agate, jade, ivory, shoushan stone, filigree enamel, etc. From the perspective of materials, craftsmanship, art, etc., it shows the nobleness of the classical furniture of the palace.
According to Li Jianxin, this cabinet was bought by a major collector in China from Boston, USA. In the past two years, due to the financial crisis of the enterprise, it was transferred in urgent need of capital turnover. "Now this cabinet has a selling price of at least 50 million yuan, but I have not yet Going to shoot. "

Method of identifying classical furniture
See if the encapsulation is natural: Generally, the naturally formed encapsulation will appear at the position where you often touch it, and the new imitation encapsulation is unnatural.

Five look at the traces of overhaul: After renovating some cloth-covered chairs, the original seat ring will leave dense nail holes, this kind of chair is old.
Sixth, look at copper work pieces: if the copper work pieces of old furniture are original, they should be rubbed by hands for decades or even hundreds of years.

Interpretation
Why is mahogany furniture expensive? From seedlings to furniture for at least a hundred years
An inconspicuous mahogany furniture will cost millions of yuan, mainly due to the shortage of raw materials, coupled with the country's increasingly strict protection of precious trees, and the resources of millennia old trees are becoming less and less. It is also getting less and less.
This is confirmed here by the executives of the "Santa Tan Pavilion". "Our boss says every time he comes back, the raw materials have risen again, and one price a day. Indian red leaf sandalwood is now 900,000 yuan / ton, and Huanghuali is even more expensive. It costs several million yuan." The person said.
In a corner of the company's showroom, a small glass-sized Indian red sandalwood was placed, "This red sandalwood will take about 50 years to grow. If you want to grow into wood, you can make furniture, it will take at least a hundred years. Time, after the wood has been cut back, it will take a few more years to maintain the stability of the wood. It will take at least a hundred years from seedlings to furniture, can it be expensive? "
It is understood that from the beginning of the year to the present, the raw materials of mahogany furniture have been rising. Some raw materials such as red rosewood and rosewood have reached 33%, and the price of raw materials of rosewood has exceeded the peak in 2007, rising to an average of 900,000 yuan per ton. The original price of Huanghuali was 1.5 million yuan / ton, but it has now doubled, and there is still a tendency to continue to rise.
How to invest in ancient wood furniture? It ’s best to make friends with people who know how to do things, do n’t blindly follow suit
The reporter learned in the interview that due to the downturn in the property market, some private hot money investments are not in the right direction, so there are acts of speculation of green beans and garlic, and when these hot money are injected into art investment, they will often stage a sky-high auction.
Experts from the Zhejiang Provincial Collection Association said that furniture collection is not the same as furniture production, because of its uniqueness, a piece of furniture may be worth tens of millions, and one person's financial strength is usually not enough. Therefore, the phenomenon of cooperative investment often occurs. Simply put, it is one investment and one investment.
Li Jianxin has done the same. He said that every piece of Huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture is of great value, and it is naturally not easy to obtain this piece. "People who are discerning are short of money, and people who are rich don't know how to do it. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate between the two? But collection must be cautious. When investing, you must make friends with knowledgeable people. You must not blindly follow suit."
According to reports, in the collection world, any collector may be a business expert at the beginning, and slowly become a "half-timbered and half-played" player. In the end, it is a "only inaccessible" collector. "However, from the current point of view, whether it is antique hardwood furniture or newly-made mahogany furniture, there is still some value-added space." Experts of the Provincial Collection Association said.
