Old mahogany, as its name implies, is a long-lived mahogany. It is called a rosewood in the "national standard" and is mainly produced in Southeast Asian countries such as Laos and Thailand. Before the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were also provinces such as Guangxi and Yunnan, but the Republic of China was completely extinct. The wood is hard and delicate, can sink to the water, and generally needs to be grown for more than 500 years. The most obvious difference from other woods is that the wood grain often has dark brown or black stripes in the deep red color. Antique feeling.
The old mahogany not only grows for a long time, but also has been washed for hundreds of years after cutting. The old mahogany now refers to the mahogany imported from Nanyang in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The old red wood is wider and the brown eyes are slender, with a specific gravity between the red sandalwood and the yellow pear.
New and old mahogany material color comparison
In terms of color, the old mahogany is darker in color, mostly purple-red, and some colors are similar to red sandalwood, but the color is lighter, the texture is fine, the brown eye is obviously less than the new rosewood, and the density and feel are excellent. The new mahogany is generally yellowish in color, wood grain and color have a "tender" feeling compared with the old mahogany. The texture and feel are not as good as the old mahogany.
Why is there such a big difference? It turns out that the life of wood is not terminated by being cut down, and the internal fine structure changes all the time, but it is hard to detect. As time goes by, the structure inside the mahogany will become more and more tight, the hardness and specific gravity will become higher and higher, the water will sink, and the resistance to deformation will be stronger.
The new mahogany generally uses baking to make it meet the requirements of use, but the artificial technical treatment can not shake the internal structure of the material. In the long-term use process, it will often produce subtle deformation, thus affecting the collection value and quality.
What issues should be paid attention to when purchasing old mahogany furniture?
At present, in the hardwood furniture market, many woods do not have the color and material of mahogany, but after a series of processing such as grinding, coloring and painting, the appearance looks very good.

From the surface, they are almost the same as the ordinary dead wood, but when cut open, the wood grain inside is clear and gorgeous, and it has a very texture. In the production base of Yuan Henry classical hardwood furniture, visitors can not only see piles of raw materials, but also see broken plates; then visit the production workshop, see the workmanship and carving process, and pay attention to the enterprise's manual How high is the degree.
Speaking of workmanship, the old mahogany has a prominent feature compared to the new mahogany: the old mahogany is all made in China, which can inherit the traditional Chinese hardwood furniture culture to the greatest extent, and the new mahogany is different, many of which are from Southeast Asia. The semi-finished products are imported from the country of origin and then assembled and processed in China.
