Zhai said the wooden edge edge of wood: wooden furniture, classic wood collection of high-value

In the Chinese classical furniture, firewood wood furniture has a very high value for collection. Recently, I visited the antique furniture collector Mr. Li Jianmei, swimming in his collection of all kinds of old furniture and listen to Lao Chai He speaks tirelessly on the many stories of wood furniture, do not have some fun.
Lee told the author that the distribution of Lao Chai wood furniture mostly in Shanxi Province, and most characteristic. Elm firewood wood furniture is usually mainly because of its pattern look good, moderate hardness, ease of production, a sizeable sculpture. Huai Cai wood furniture is also often used to produce wood and beech wood, comparing the early use of pine furniture.

Walk in the Lee's collection, you can see the various styles of cabinets in various periods: large outline in gold lacquer cabinet, black lacquer outline in gold cabinet, colorful cabinets, pear paste leather top box large cabinets, corner cabinets, etc.. Mr. Lee took us to a cupboard before, this is a collection of his more cherished - four square corner cabinet, because it is Wanli of Ming Dynasty furniture, so the name "Wanli closet." Produced by the pine cabinets, inside and outside all using Phi Melange process. This red cabinets, color, bright but not exaggerated, simple and generous lines. The upper right corner cabinet hinge, due to the opening and closing a long time has been wear and tear, leaving traces of years of friction. On which the painting is also faintly visible, and more added this collection of art and ornamental.

Different forms of medicine cabinet is also part of the collection of Mr. Lee. He told the writer a special presentation on a medium-sized medicine cabinet, "the most attracted me is that this calligraphy on a medicine cabinet." Reading "Baiji, Chinese angelica, Wujiapi" and other drugs are stickers are reserved intact. Compact circular pull ring is opened to attract people to reach out to this frame and the kit, to experience a year old Chinese medicine Miaoshouhuichun feeling. There's northwest Qinghai-style medicine cabinet, you can see by the influence of Tibetan culture, Tibetan furniture, paint the usual red. Mr. Li said that China-Hong popular foreign friends like it, because more use of plant pigments or mineral pigments, so not easy to fade also brings environmental protection. And the medicine cabinet at the top of both sides of a bright lattice, can be placed other things, both practical and beautiful.

"It's not a preference chrysanthemum flowers, the flowers do much less to spend." Like many collectors, as in many of the furniture collection of Mr. Lee also has a few pieces of the most beloved objects, such as a clear case of the early cedar painting, Lee refers to for this piece of furniture to make a typical Soviet writer described one: it is the material used is a good material for firewood in the cypress wood, wood fine, fine technology, locks vertebral special, subtle Branch carving is very particular about, but not fancy the sense is the "cork hard for" the high quality goods, elegance to the extreme. Fly in the ointment is that this long narrow table a bit short, only about 80 cm high, obviously the earlier the person for the compact design of the South. Perhaps it is this small regret, only so that the picture is even more unusual case, bar.

Mr. Li Jianmei not only love the old furniture, and the wide range of interests, equal emphasis on Tibetan studies. A few days ago, he bought a plaque inscribed Hu Han-min. In the four calligrapher Hu Han-min was one of its official script dignified and vigorous, is quite well known. More importantly, he was not only an outstanding calligraphy, or Sun Yat-sen, one of the main assistants, before participating in the 1911 Revolution led Huanghuagang Uprising. Both from a historical or artistic point of view, this plaque have important value for collection. Mr Lee seems a collection of eyesight together all the knowledge of the game, you want to trained eyes that only through continued research to better understanding.

Lee also collects a lot of different shapes and styles of food containers, so that his bent is that these old objects that contain a cultural connotations. Food containers in history, was once the aristocratic luxury living exhibits, through these food containers, we seem to be able to experience through time and space and food to those hit-ting the luxurious pomp: maid were busy in the hall in an orderly manner, and Pao Chu shuttle between them both hands and food containers came to seat the guests sit on the front of the hall, overlooking slowly squatted, box after box of food in an orderly manner will be placed on the case of a few on the lid opened, the dishes served in one of the Jane Pan Wan in front of guests. Dignitaries who will wear bright leisurely ... ...

A few pieces of the ship produced in the Republic of China cabinet also "fun" things, body petite, the side of the arc so that it can merge with the boat-shaped Xiangqi voyage stable. Is similar with it is a wonderful old frame of the brazier, the middle of the aircraft at first this brazier is empty, Mr. Li from the practical point of view of the same old selection of stone fill will be starting as a tea table, flowers for several other ancient display fashion, tradition implies an alternative.

"Geo-Wood Studio" is the collections of the reputation of Mr. Lee, from the phrase "wishful thinking", meaning not get something done. The beginning of the Director-General Lee in the collection fruitless, so the take "geo-wood" and seek self-mockery. But now he is because wood collection time soon but gave him enjoying the happiness.
