In recent years, China's classical mahogany furniture has been gradually loved by more and more people. Many people have begun to collect classical mahogany furniture, but many classical furniture has been lost overseas, as are many foreigners who collect classical mahogany furniture.
The two climaxes of Chinese classical furniture collection, the first in the 1930s. A German named Ike edited a book: "An Examination of Chinese Rosewood Furniture". After the publication of this book, Westerners saw for the first time from Chinese furniture, and there was also a rush to buy. Ming-style furniture was exported in large quantities, and the price was very expensive. The first prosperity did not last long.
The second time was in the 1980s. Wang Shixiang published two books, one titled "Research on Ming Style Furniture" and one titled "Treasure of Ming Style Furniture". After the publication of these two books, tens of thousands of workshops in China imitated the two books to imitate the furniture of the Ming Dynasty, and also made China's classical mahogany furniture go to the world.
In 1985, Mr. Wang Shixiang's book "Treasures of Ming-style Furniture" was published in Hong Kong. Collectors from Hong Kong and Taiwan began to flood into the mainland, which led to national collections, and almost all Chinese collectors were "getting rich overnight." Today, the collection of classical mahogany furniture is bloody, and it is not excessive to describe the collection of classical furniture with the word "crazy". According to industry insiders, starting from Hainan Island, collectors combed their hair from the south to the north like a hair comb. Shanxi Province, which is very rich in cultural features, has several places listed as national protection in addition to the Qiao family compound, the entire province The Ming and Qing furniture boutiques were almost sold out.
In 1985, when the national gate was opened, old furniture rushed out vigorously. Furniture dealers in the south flocked to Beijing and northern towns, buying large quantities of Huanghuali and red sandalwood woodware. Woodware dealers in remote areas such as Shandong and Shanxi also joined. Trafficking has formed a network, which is assembled and then shipped to Guangdong and then to overseas. According to experts, 70% of Huanghuali furniture in China has been lost overseas.
Western classics have been collecting and studying Chinese classical furniture for hundreds of years, and almost all history museums around the world have collected ancient Chinese furniture. American and British museums have the largest collection of red sandalwood furniture in China, and a large number of exquisite hardwood furniture from the Ming and early Qing dynasties in China. Its storage capacity exceeds China's Forbidden City (approximately 10,000 pieces of classical furniture in the Forbidden City). According to Shu Yi, the former president of the China Classical Furniture Research Association, the Western United States used Chinese laborers to dig many caves 100 years ago to store Chinese classical furniture. They stored nearly tens of thousands of Chinese classical furniture in these caves because constant temperature. The United States also established the China Classical Furniture Research Institute to publish a professional magazine for Chinese classical furniture research. Its professionalism even makes our people ashamed. Later, many doctors specializing in Chinese classical furniture appeared in this institute.
The Danish National Museum has a collection of the Huanghuali throne in the Ming Dynasty of China. It has a simple and elegant shape and high quality. The center of the backrest is inlaid with a carved five-clawed dragon. The director of the Oriental Department of the museum, Ms. Hong Qiong'an, told the author that this was the throne of Emperor Wanli and was bought from a Danish collector. According to data kept by collectors, this throne was obtained at an auction in Europe around 1930.
During his stay in London, England in the 1990s, the Belgian Philippe de Barker collected more than 1,000 pieces (400 of which can be checked) of Ming Dynasty furniture from China, and promised to lend it to the Jimei Museum for 4 months. On April 28, 2006, the Forbidden City Museum Yongshou Palace held the Ming Dynasty Huanghualimu Classical Furniture Exhibition for a period of 2 months. There are more than 100 pieces of these exhibition furniture, and the owner of this collection is the Belgian. He has always insisted on collecting classical Ming-style furniture. At present, he has become the collector with the largest number of Ming Dynasty Huanghuali classical furniture outside China.
Another American, Curtis, has a forward-looking vision of Chinese classical furniture. He has been studying Chinese classical furniture in the United States for a long time and was the director of the China Furniture Museum in California. Over the years, he has visited Shanxi many times to inspect and purchase local antique furniture, and has compiled a special picture book for publication.
His research and promotion made the value of these neglected folk furniture re-recognized. Now he opened a Chinese classical furniture store in Shanghai. There are 25 chairs in the shop, including the cypress lamp hanging chair of Liao Dynasty Mongolia, the beech wood circle chair of the mid-Qing Dynasty and the small hexagonal chair for children. In June 2007, during the 6th Shanghai Classical Furniture Fair for Export, Mr. Ke Tisi exhibited more than 40 pieces of Ming-style antique stools, which were produced in Shanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Henan.
