This year is the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the brand of Yanquan Yaji. The old brand Huafengzhai manager and the founder of Qiquan Yaji brand Yu Huafang said in an exclusive interview with Jinghua Times and Art Investment Weekly on October 4th. In addition to the appreciation and use of old furniture, it is more important to repair it in a timely manner.
Do not fool furniture
Those who first entered the Quanquanju will be amazed at the antique layout of the interior and the dazzling array of classical furniture. Its owner is Yu Huafang, manager of Huafengzhai, Beijing Golden Paint Inlay Company.
Entering the Quanquan Residence, it will first be attracted by a set of old Zhongtang, which is the treasure that Yu Huafang has traveled all over the Yangtze River. Her collection is based on traditional Chinese mahogany furniture and fine imitation Ming and Qing furniture. In the four large open rooms, there are old furniture that Yuhuan searches from everywhere, and she also has her own Jinnan furniture. Among them, a three-meter-long painting of Jin Nanan became an important tool for the friends of Yanquanju. The painters Wen Lipeng and Zhao Junsheng all had a splash on this painting.
As a member of the China Collectors Association, Yu Huafang mainly collects traditional Chinese mahogany furniture and imitation Ming and Qing furniture. Recalling her collection experience, she felt that it was influenced by family edification. Yu Huafang, born in 1952, lived in the old furniture environment from an early age, but it was not until the fortieth of the year that he began to collect furniture.
“My husband and I visited the old leader and met the director of a furniture factory in Hebei. At that time, I used more than 200,000 yuan to save all the wood.†Yu Huafang did not need to make furniture. She thought it was good. There are few resources, but you can't fool people.
"I first made sea yellow and red sandalwood. Later, it was more and more expensive, so I started to do Jinsin four or five years ago." Yu Huafang loves Jinsin, because Jin Sina is very ornamental, "step by step." Scenery, the furniture made is very literary, and it is corrosion resistant and easy to store and maintain. In recent years, the price of wood has risen. The price of early Jinnan is on the side of several thousand yuan, about 10,000 yuan, and then sold by kilograms. The price has increased by more than ten times.
Domineering and practical
Yu Huafang often said that she is a newcomer to this industry. After all, she is only engaged in the furniture industry for only 20 years. When Wang Shizhen was alive, she often went to the door to ask for advice, and her exchanges with Wang Shizhen benefited her a lot.
"Mr. Wang Shizhen said that to do furniture must be fine and fine, do not waste wood. Do not float furniture, do furniture first, people must be practical, furniture has taste."
Yu Huafang has bought a lot of books related to furniture, and often consults peers and experts. For many years, from the love of furniture to the collection of furniture, to the furniture and furniture, her interest has always been independent of the furniture culture. “I use furniture as a work to manage, and my old collection of furniture has been repaired. I have also done a lot of furniture these years.â€
In order to find wood, Yu Huafang has gone to many places in China, including Gansu, Zhejiang, Yunnan, and Fujian. Even if it is a holiday, she is not idle, and is a frequent visitor to the museum. Her eyesight improved quickly, unconsciously becoming an expert, and also led a group of people around to play with furniture.
"Furniture is comprehensive, can not be domineering, but also has practicality, can be seen, available, can be appreciated. At the same time of collecting, also use it. I used to focus on practice, and now go back to do theory." Yu Huafang Say.
Old furniture repair has a market
In recent years, Yu Huafang is no longer keen on “receiving†and “hidingâ€, but is increasingly obsessed with “repairing†and “doingâ€, especially for old-age furniture. Among the friends and acquaintances around her, she is already recognized as a "home expert", and even from time to time, people who have never met each other have come to the door for help.
“Repair is an urgent task! Now everyone likes to collect classical furniture. Most of the pictures are made of money, but they should not be neglected. The mahogany furniture is greatly affected by temperature, humidity and climate. If it is not properly maintained for a long time, it will crack.†Yu Huafang Said that sellers often only manage sales regardless of maintenance, in fact, repair is also important.
Now the talents who repair the old furniture are not picking up. Yu Huafang is blunt, and he has a lot of work, but he has done too little. Many people just do superficial articles, and the floating skin and grass cover the fur. The problem inside is not long before it comes out. This is the most embarrassing. If you really get a good job, you won't be faked. You must be a real person, a cure for the local work, and be as old as possible.
Repairing furniture usually requires ancestral craftsmanship. Yu Huafang has a team dedicated to repairing classical furniture, and she is the think tank of this group.
Old furniture is getting less and less. If not repaired, these old furniture will face the fate of only burning fire. Seeing a piece of repaired furniture, Yu Huafang is full of love. She thinks that repairing furniture can't make much money. The most important thing is that he likes it. "The more you repair, the more you train, the more you become more addicted, the others like my work. It is also a pleasure." The craftsman of the repairing machine must Have savvy, have a good master.
Yu Huafang hopes that the repair of furniture as an industry can be revived through its own promotion, so that more old furniture can be passed down intact.
