Fine antique furniture: still to improve

Fired the first two years of a "purple" classical furniture prices have been basically return to normal, with the peak in 2007 when the price compared to a large part of the decline of classical furniture has reached 50%. Although the classical antique furniture in mahogany furniture trend was dropped, but the real value of the Ming and Qing Dynasties fine collection of furniture is still popular with fans of the popular, the upward trend is still unabated. This is because the classical furniture keep the world in very limited quantities, especially fine antique furniture is very rare, almost a sell a few Moreover, the real antique furniture collectors, they are generally the products of the Italian furniture not only into, which is antique furniture prices rose steadily year by year to an important cause. Of course, classical furniture as a result of the long term there will be increasing scarcity of raw materials, with the ultimate price must be the long-term rising trend.

Since entering the twenty-first century, China's collection of antique furniture has been a good momentum, especially in the spring of 2007, classical furniture market rise more rapidly over the majority of furniture have doubled or more than twice the number in previous years only about 10,000 yuan a classical furniture, to the spring of 2007, have increased to 30,000 to 35,000 yuan, 1000 yuan or so ago who will be able to get the hands of small pieces of furniture, but also risen to a four or five thousand yuan , and those of classical Ming and Qing furniture products but also because a rare and fired over a day, some years ago to buy low while the classical furniture timely shot in the early 2008's people have reaped the profits. In the art auction market, the performance of fine classical furniture is particularly good, as in November 30, 2007 Beijing Poly 07 'autumn auction, a pair of side angle Rosewood Qing Qianlong senior cabinet very rare pieces of 1,500 million opening bid appearance, after making many of those Senate race, in the end, this large cabinet Rosewood 28 million yuan to the high turnover and a Chinese classical furniture to create a world record auction.

Raw materials dropped

The development of anything can not be easy. Due to the impact of global financial turmoil, real estate, stock market, art market drop, even classical furniture has always been a strong market have not been spared. After entering in 2008, originally in the collection industry has been popular classical furniture market experienced a sudden cold spell, in recent years, prices of raw material prices continued in the blink of an eye it seems that it was back to its original state, such as: from 30 yuan / ton increase in 70 yuan / tons of red sandalwood lobular and then down to 30 yuan / ton;酸枝木from 3 yuan / ton price increase to 10 yuan / tons, too, began to drop sharply;连翻in recent years Wong Hainan rosewood several times爆炒to be 2.6 million yuan per ton after the whereabouts of the potential rapidly. At the end of 2007, known as "suspects there is a bubble," the furniture market has a significant price collection. In 2006 a set of antique furniture Rosewood lobular about 20 million yuan, to the end of 2007 has been a炒到四五十万million.

As a result of too high or too fast, furniture market, and then finally there is no buyer willing to take up the plate, holding a large number of lobular Rosewood entering the business after 2008 had at substantially discounted prices. May 2008 --- The Fifth China ASEAN Expo, the classical furniture market has dropped, eight sets of Vietnamese rosewood 480,000 yuan price tag, however, the Lao pear tea tray price of only 1,400 yuan, Cambodia mahogany chair price only more than 3000 yuan. I recently furniture malls in Shanghai found that more than two years ago fired a "purple" classical furniture prices have been basically return to normal, with the peak in 2007 when the price compared to a large part of the decline of classical furniture has reached 50% .

Quality is still good

Antique furniture prices plummeted because the market simply because the most powerful collection of funds from one-sided pursuit of material, the blind pursuit of Antique Furniture "star effect." In fact, the furniture collection is not entirely about "material is everything", but considering the age of their own furniture, crafts, materials, furniture, works of art should be the pursuit of aesthetic taste. Antique mahogany furniture, although the potential was dropped, but the real value of the Ming and Qing Dynasties fine collection of furniture is still popular with fans of the popular, the upward trend continues unabated, it is because the classical furniture keep the world in very limited quantities, especially fine antique furniture more is very rare, is almost a sell a few Moreover, the real antique furniture collectors, they are generally the products of the Italian furniture not only into, this is classic furniture prices rose steadily year by year to an important cause.

It has been in the last century the late 80's to 1,000 yuan to buy a pair of Qing Dynasty酸枝木chairs, to the last century has risen to 90 since the mid 1 million, and now the prices of at least 10 million yuan. And the Need for appreciation of classical furniture faster speed. Such as in late April 2008 Spring China Guardian auction, a Rosewood Qing Qianlong Daping 31.36 million yuan in the first case the price bid, and to break the Chinese classical furniture of the highest auction world record. Followed by a Rosewood Qing Qianlong passion have waist Bogut Figure 32.48 million yuan luohan bed again with the bid re-record all this shows that the full strength of the collector, the late Ming and early Qing furniture products is still very optimistic about investment prospects.

Collection of the right time

Classical furniture from the "price" to almost "collapse", of course, with the outbreak of the global financial crisis, but the market can be described as excessive speculation is the most fundamental reasons. Antique furniture market has fallen, and whether it is worthwhile to investors hunters Favorites? I think that many of the current market price of wood raw materials important to a significant reason for this is that these raw materials Redwood extinct or threatened with extinction is not the most valuable tree species, and the investment value of genuine antique furniture, are already extinct in Hainan pear or other valuable tree species by the system. Of course, classical furniture as a result of the long term there will be increasing scarcity of raw materials, with the ultimate price must be the long-term rising trend.

However, not all classical furniture will have a good performance, relatively good number of materials, furniture, good work will be more significant upward trend, such as pear, sandalwood, and so on酸枝sought after by the market, and quality not materials such as high Shiraki and so on, their investment will be less room for its appreciation. At the same time in the selection of furniture collectors to be Furuki辨清or by a new system of imitation wood products. New wood furniture, high prices are not easily, unless there is a hot market again through improper means. However, if the furniture is old trees, in the case of the availability of funds can be an appropriate investment, because of its non-renewable materials, and determines its considerable appreciation of the future space. In addition, the collectors would also like to see the antique furniture and quality of the goods, such as a number of integrity, products of the classical furniture with good price on a high, if not a conspicuous place in the furniture is flawed slightly lower prices, and in a conspicuous there is a larger issue of the furniture, it is likely to be minimal on the price. Institute to determine the full extent of the blind to avoid expensive, of course, you can buy at lower prices with a small flaw to fix the furniture to a slightly higher price and then sell.
