Rosewood furniture market was mixed to standardize product qualified rate of only 40%

Editor's note

Mahogany furniture, collections, and consumer goods, and also the investment products, set the "three varieties", red wood furniture collections and rising consumer market. Plus more scarce raw materials, mahogany furniture sale price surge, all the way from the 1980 's, some prices have gone up nearly a thousand times, a mahogany furniture at tens of thousands of dollars or even millions of NT dollars.

Love to play more and more people of mahogany, the market is more and more confused.

Love to play more and more people of mahogany, the market is more and more confused. Statistics show that mahogany furniture market rate of only 40%, consumer complaints on mahogany furniture is increased each year. Due to the different material difference between the price of Redwood 10 times, 20 times, or even hundreds of times, the huge profit margins led to a number of non-German companies, shoddy, confused as real ones, profiteering. This is interrogation with some missing business morality and conscience of mahogany furniture manufacturers, also bear the torture with supervisory duties of the regulatory authorities.

Someone said: "speculation, rather than fried mahogany trade stocks. "Even though the global financial crisis hit, all kinds of luxurious mahogany furniture prices remained firm.

A Qing huanghua PEAR-back chairs asking price $, a Qing dynasty Qianlong period sculpture "more than" Fuqing red sandalwood four pieces sold to 500 million ... If you say something more valuable, with more and more old selling expensive, mahogany furniture will certainly ranks.

Rosewood furniture is the wooden furniture in noble families. From the Ming and Qing dynasties, the furniture has all the nobility. Until today, mahogany furniture is also a symbol of wealth and status.

Due to the expensive mahogany resources scarce, mahogany furniture collection value increasing prominence, not only the dynasties of mahogany furniture prices rising all the way, even modern mahogany furniture were sought after.

However, along with the hot mahogany furniture, rosewood market also nurtures the problems plaguing consumers. Particularly confused as real ones, shoddy, flower high price back is not necessarily true 3D, this makes consumers often shudder.

Value: priceless gold price Redwood

Rosewood furniture originating from the Ming dynasty, according to legend, Zheng He seven times in the West, to a foreigner with silk and porcelain, and brought back mainly mahogany. Wood artisans bring back wood texture tough, delicate, made of mahogany furniture, handicrafts, architecture and landscape design for the Palace of Empress who enjoy. To enter a large number of late mahogany and the fall of the dynasty, was dispersed development to folk, but ordinary people cannot afford. Therefore, mahogany furniture has always been famous and noble in a label.

Understanding and mahogany furniture collection, starting from the knowledge of wood.

Redwood is the Redwood furniture wood established collectively, not all red wood in General. Based on national standards, the scope of the "3D" is determined to be an 8 class 5. 5 in the case of a Dendrology is named, i.e. mahogany case, Dalbergia genus, the genus cliffs and tieli genus. 8 classes is to timber trade name to name, i.e. Red sandal wood, rosewood, xiangzhimu class, black item class, red item wood, ebony, striped ebony and wings wood types. Rosewood furniture refers to these eight kinds of wood used to make furniture.

Although the mahogany 5 in the case of 8 classes, in fact, different materials of wood, the price is a large difference.

Of these, rosewood and Hainan huanghua PEAR's collection value the most, because the two nearly extinct timber. A piece of furniture at hundreds of thousands, NT $ 1 million RMB. Secondly, for black item pattern (also called ebony) and the African rosewood. This is currently on the market can see Acura mahogany furniture. Bedroom set (5 piece) furniture, the reference price for 15 million to 20 million RMB yuan. Third, as the Red item. Bedroom furniture set of 5 million reference price for ~ 8 million Yuan. Other rosewood is one more time, such as Southeast Asia yellow item, item, is a mid-range white mahogany furniture. Bedroom unit furniture market reference price of about 3.5 million to 5 million Yuan. Last is a Southeast Asian rosewood, chicken wings, leguminous class "red sandalwood" wood as well as South America, Africa, white item prices are even lower.

Redwood, price than gold, "Golden valuable Redwood priceless" theory. How could you be so good Redwood? mahogany furniture what is so valuable? "the new financial" reporters Yong Tan Kok antique furniture co., Ltd. President Liao Yang sign. He told reporters that the characteristics of the wood itself is to determine its value. Among the many wood, mahogany wood, hard, high density, non-destructive, not afraid of acid, alkali corrosion, King of the "wood"; mahogany, rich in fats and oils will circulate the volatilization of the aroma the faint; beautiful mahogany wood, mahogany furniture are not painted, long after the formation of Pan-oil mixture even more of a package; part of mahogany with ancient medicinal value, so it is generally agreed that Redwood company with health care function.

The expensive mahogany furniture, but also their lumber. Liao Yang sign that Redwood growth very slowly, between the lines "Millennium mahogany, a hundred years of item" theory. In fact, black red item to item, several hundred years to finished product, produced in China's Hainan huanghua PEAR is thousands of years. Currently, Hainan huanghua pear orchards have been lost. The Redwood in the traditional sense as the main Southeast Asian rainforest plants, originating in India, Thailand, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, South, and has surface

Temporary dry up. India, Thailand has prohibited the export of mahogany. The Government of Viet Nam on raw export monitoring, allows only a small amount of semi-finished products and raw materials for export. Growth stage of the long and the acute shortage of raw materials, will result in a further move up the price of mahogany.

Market: true and false difficile

Rosewood furniture collection, the higher the value the more fried, cohabitation phenomena. While the average consumer to the limited capacity of mahogany, therefore, being also the inevitable.

In the interview, his first two days, Liao Yang Mark went to Beijing gaobeidian mahogany furniture Street. Wandering, he saw a mahogany tea set, list price $ sales on the clearly marked as "pear" Hainan, Liao Yang sign at a glance that is actually made of Viet Nam, huanghua PEAR instead of Hainan huanghua pear. It is learnt that the difference between the two in 5 times. As a 3D expert, Liao Yang subject not only to distinguish between material and mahogany furniture kuanxing, work to determine the production capacity. Eyes of this "whereas" mahogany tea source, he is not new. After the verification of the shop assistant, Liao Yang label took out the phone to dial the boss, said: "your business well, huanghua PEAR sold to Beijing. However, I saw a tea set, not the Hainan huanghua PEAR was marked by the price of Hainan huanghua pear. Can not get ... Ah ... "

"False" is a businessman the most basic commercial ethics, but this field in mahogany furniture, can do. Get involved in Redwood Lake for more than 20 years, Liao Yang sign see. He saw the "colleagues" of a variety of cooking methods, also see some peer for the sale of fake mahogany furniture was recovered lead to bankruptcy.

This reporter has learned that the mahogany trade during a false way mainly has following several kinds: one is confused as real ones, wood color similar, inexpensive wood impersonation of mahogany wood and iron, as red as red item, ordinary grass rosewood by dyeing process impersonate rosewood. The second is shoddy, using low-cost 3D posing as a high-priced 3D, such as the African mahogany mahogany posing as India lobule. Even if they are rosewood, Hainan, rosewood, Viet Nam rosewood, Burma rosewood and other differences, but the price difference between different materials could reach 20 times. Is the same kind of material, the year, the price also has a long way to go. For example, red item, old and new material to difference of 50 years, the price per ton of sent 2 million Yuan. Third, in product identification, the sales contract in the name of the specification not to evade responsibility, such as "dark mahogany," and "pear", etc. Fourth, the use of materials, but local to Redwood enable consumers to overall pay price of mahogany. Fifth, the words in the name of the increase, mislead the public, such as "grass flowers pear", "Brazil flowers pear" is not a redwood. Again such as big-leaf mahogany, its name should be the standard black Dalbergia Lushi, belong to black item class, which does not belong to the noble mahogany in mahogany, and merchants to specification annotations, you're not careful, he never took the initiative to tell you the difference. VI is in general the furniture made of wood with a coating on the surface "," pretends to rosewood furniture, sell.

Many fake furniture fine workmanship, not careful observation, it is difficult to see how the flaw, photo-realistic appearance. Know about Redwood knowledge is limited by the average consumer, and false difficile, can easily be "huyou".

Regulation: there are no regulatory policy

Rosewood furniture market of cohabitation does not affect investors ' investment passion, like speculation, trade stocks, a lot of people. For the layman hot fried Redwood, Liao Yang sign cautioned that "fried rosewood is not equal to speculation in the stock market, it is necessary to correctly understand mahogany furniture market, don't hold on Redwood myth too high expectations. ”

For rosewood furniture market confusion, countries also introduced some policies, such as August of the dark hardwood furniture and precious standards "(hereinafter referred to as the" standards "), provides business sales of mahogany furniture must be marked on the product name, wood, textiles and wood habitats, quality grade, coatings, specifications, etc., but also valuable hardwood furniture shall be fixed metal signs, instead of a mortgage is a trademark of paper.

The standards have been published over a year now, but in a number of mahogany furniture sale, did not see the "fixed metal signs", and the associated parameters are not clearly identified, in addition to tens to tens of selling price, wood habitats, quality grade, accessories, and other information are missing. Some businesses explained that these products are the standards "introduced ago shipment, except that the seller has not removed, the temporary storage in the shop.

The facts may not do so. This reporter has learned that although the new standards on mahogany furniture of the provisions of the finished product is very detailed, but the problem is that the standards are not mandatory standards. In other words, now the market quality mahogany furniture still rely on industry self-regulation. Only by a not to be enforced in the new standard to regulate the market, to change some businesses longstanding interests, business concept, it is hard to optimistic.

Rosewood furniture market supervision is industry confusion. Countries, although some policy specification introduced, but mostly have policy, no supervision. Said regulation, it is indeed difficult to relevant departments, because in these departments, experts master extreme mahogany lacks most of the staff, the lack of expertise, experience, and knows a little too basic is through books on known fur, to manage and control the trade, easily. But the problem in the short term, it is difficult to have changed.

"Adulteration of products will disturb the market, this is inevitable. "Liao Yang tender hope the industry standard as quickly as possible. In his view, the country seems to be on this industry don't attach too much importance to

Because there has been no one specifically for dedicated mahogany trade.
