As the saying goes, people don't know the goods, money, goods, millions or even tens of millions of old furniture, wood basically do not doubt, the reason is relatively simple, so expensive wood, the value of the material accounted for only a small proportion.
The vast majority of the value of the collection is reflected in scarcity, including rare shapes and good integrity.
By the way, I would like to answer the questions of enthusiastic wooden friends. Check the wood of each component, mainly to see if there is repair and footwork, the regular sky-high price collection is the original head, and the plug car relies on all the yellow rosewood to sell at a good price.
I would also like to thank Mr. Q for sharing his insights and experiences, and sharing their common interests.
Back to the point, the same reason, dare to ask for sky-high price of Huanghuali furniture is usually open, the degree of originality is also higher.
The Huanghuali inlaid marble inlaid with a date of the Ming Dynasty is a four-headed official hat chair, 57 meters long, 45 meters high, and a pair valuation of 9 million to 12 million yuan, which meets the above two conditions.
The appearance remains intact, with an old atmosphere, and the relationship between the main components is visible under the rattan mat.
The original rattan drawer was changed to a mat hard board, which should have occurred in the 1920s and 1930s, which has a history of nearly 100 years and has limited impact on the integrity of the collection.
The curved belt was changed to straight, and the rope eye was still the same. The fact that the side wipes, legs, and teeth are covered with hemp and ash on the back of the teeth shows that they have always been together.
The condition at the pin joint is much the same, and the mortise and mortise structure, although opened, can still be seen to be related to each other.
Looking up and down, it can be basically determined that the main body of the furniture is still the same, and the originality is better.
After all, it is an old object that has been circulated for hundreds of years, and it is inevitable that there will be some small repairs on the chair.
The chair on the left in the picture has a small piece of bright feet on the lower part of the backrest. From the analysis of the difference between wood and workmanship, the damage in the lower left corner was cut obliquely, with the similar piece of wood seen now.
Just as the so-called flaws do not hide Yu, in the end, the Huanghuali inlaid marble four-headed official hat chair auctioned 11.5 million yuan, becoming a well-deserved tens of millions of collections.
