In recent years, China's classical furniture has gradually been loved by more and more people. Many people have begun to collect classical furniture. However, there are many foreigners who collect classical furniture, and many classical furniture are lost overseas.
The two climaxes of the Chinese classical furniture collection were the first in the 1930s. A German named Ike compiled a book: "Chinese rosewood furniture map". After the book was published, Westerners saw it for the first time in Chinese furniture, and there was also a rush to buy. The Ming-style furniture was exported in large quantities and the price was very expensive. This first prosperity did not last long.
The second time, the 1980s. Wang Shizhen published two books, one called "Ming-style furniture research" and one called "Ming-style furniture treasures". After the publication of these two books, there have been tens of thousands of workshops in China that imitated these two books to imitate Ming Dynasty furniture, and also brought Chinese classical furniture to the world.
In 1985, Mr. Wang Shizhen’s book “The Gift of Ming Style Furniture†was published in Hong Kong. The collectors of Hong Kong and Taiwan began to flood into the mainland, which drove the national collection. All the collectors of the Chinese people were almost “richâ€. Today, the collection of classical furniture is so exciting that it is not too much to describe the collection of classical furniture with the word "crazy". According to industry insiders, starting from Hainan Island, the collectors combed from the south to the north like combing their hair. The province is extremely rich in Shanxi Province, except for the Qiao Family Courtyard and other places listed as national protection, the whole province. The Ming and Qing furniture boutiques were almost robbed.
In 1985, when the country was opened, old furniture rushed out and the furniture manufacturers in the south flocked to Beijing and northern towns, and purchased a large number of huanghuali and rosewood. The wood merchants in Shandong and Shanxi in remote areas also joined. Trafficking has formed a network that is brought together and shipped to Guangdong before moving overseas. According to industry experts, 70% of China's huanghuali furniture has been lost overseas.
Western collection and research of Chinese classical furniture has been a museum of history for almost a few hundred years, collecting ancient Chinese furniture. Museums in the United States and the United Kingdom have the largest collection of Chinese rosewood furniture, and a large number of exquisite Chinese hardwood furniture in the Ming and early Qing dynasties. Its storage exceeds that of the Forbidden City in China (about 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 workers to dig a lot of caves to store Chinese classical furniture 100 years ago. They store nearly 10,000 pieces of Chinese classical furniture in these caves because they are inside. constant temperature.
The United States has also established the China Classical Furniture Research Institute and published the magazine of Chinese classical furniture research. Its wonderful degree even makes us Chinese people feel ashamed.
This institute has also emerged a number of doctors specializing in the study of Chinese classical furniture.
The National Museum of Denmark has a collection of Huanghuali in the Ming Dynasty of China. It has a simple and elegant shape and high quality. The back of the back is inlaid with a carved five-clawed dragon. Ms. Hong Qiongan, director of the Oriental Department of the museum, told the author that this is the throne of the Wanli emperor and was bought from a Danish collector. According to data kept by collectors, this throne was obtained at an auction in Europe around 1930.
The Belgian Philippe De Bakr, who lived in London in the United Kingdom in the 1990s, collected more than 1,000 pieces of 400 pieces of Chinese Ming Dynasty furniture and promised to lend it to the Jimmy Museum in France for four months. On April 28, 2006, the Ming Dynasty Huanghualimu Classical Furniture Exhibition was held in Yongshou Palace of the National Palace Museum for a period of two months. The collector of these furniture is the Belgian. He has always insisted on collecting classical Ming furniture. At present, he has become the collector with the largest number of Ming Dynasty huanghuali classical furniture outside China, and there are more than 100 exhibits, all of which are provided by him.
The collection of Chinese classical furniture will never stop. Today, there are fewer and fewer classical mahogany furniture. Many foreigners have collected Chinese non-redwood old furniture and old furniture.
A few years ago, foreigners turned their eyes to Chinese ancient white wood furniture. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folk furniture produced in Jiangnan, Shanxi, and Guangdong were mostly beech, walnut, and elm. According to a businessman specializing in ancient furniture in Shanxi, in the past, the price of folk white wood furniture in Shanxi was very low, and domestic collectors dismissed them. As long as they had mahogany furniture, the vast majority of buyers were foreigners. Today, most of the fine furniture of Jin Zuo (Shanxi) has been bought by overseas people, and the market price has soared many times.
American Ke Kesi has a forward-looking vision of Chinese classical furniture. He has long studied Chinese classical furniture in the United States and served as curator of the California China Furniture Museum. Over the years, he has visited Shanxi several times and acquired local antique furniture, and compiled a special album for publication. His research and introduction made the value of these neglected folk furniture recognizable. Today he opened a Chinese classical furniture store in Shanghai. There are 25 chairs in the store, including the cypress lamp hanging chair of Liao Dynasty Mongolian, the eucalyptus chair in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and the hexagonal chair for children.
In June 2007, during the 6th Shanghai Export Classical Furniture Fair, Mr. Ke Xisi exhibited more than 40 Ming-style antique stools that were carefully collected. These ancient stools were produced in Shanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan and other places. He also gave a speech on "traditional stool collection".
