Everyone's interests are different, and after admiring the red coral Buddha statues, everyone browses the treasures they are interested in. Zhao Tianming is no exception, he looks at everything very carefully.

This kind of learning opportunity is much more effective than hiding in the house and reading a book by himself.

"Old Liu, your set of Guangzuo furniture made of yellow rosewood, right?" Han Qiuyu asked with some surprise.

It's not that he can't recognize Huanghuali, as far as he knows, the materials used in Guangzuo furniture are very consistent, such a whole set of furniture, all of which are made of Huanghuali wood, which is absolutely extravagant, so that he asked such a "childish" question.

At the back of the hall, in the center, there is a barrier separating the furniture, such as tables and chairs. Among them, a set of furniture in the middle occupies most of the space, gorgeous and elegant.

The other old people were also a little dumbfounded, this old willow, everything good things were taken up for him, no wonder he often cried poor, I'm afraid that the money was spent on it, right?

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Lao to run out of money, if it is really necessary, he can use the money in the clan, and he can also make his sons filial. However, that would be boring, he collects antiques, and has always relied on his own strength and vision.

"That's right, the virtuous nephew has a vision, and it is Huanghuali's Guangzuo furniture. This room is full of things, and the most expensive thing is this set of guys. Qi Lao replied, he often came to Liu Lao's house, so he was naturally familiar with it.

After saying that, he sat down unceremoniously and enjoyed it.

A virtuous nephew made Zhou Lao's head twitch a little, and he was a generation shorter. There is no way, who let Han Qiuyu's father have some relationship with him, he is his elder, and he and Han Qiuyu have to be commensurate with each other, which can be regarded as a year-old friendship.

However, it doesn't matter if everyone in the circle makes their own friends, only some familiar friends will make a joke.

"This is Hirosaku furniture?"

Zhao Tianming knows that mahogany furniture is also very collectible in the antique market, but he only knows the specific classification inside.

I used to fight with Liu Lao, the old man surnamed Xie, at this time, his eyes were shining, he was proficient in the field of wood carving, he was a master of wood carving, and he was naturally very fond of all kinds of wooden furniture. All kinds of antique furniture, such as a number of treasures, than everyone here, absolutely want to know more.

"Guangzuo furniture, it refers to our Yangcheng local production of wooden furniture, and Suzuo, Jingzuo its name, is one of the three major schools of traditional Chinese furniture.

If it is said that the delicate and subtle, introverted and quiet, full of Jiangnan charm of Suzuo furniture is the representative of Ming-style furniture, then, plump and dignified, magnificent Guangzuo furniture, is the representative of Qing Dynasty furniture, favored by the Qing Dynasty royal family, the Qing Dynasty office also set up a special 'Guangmuzuo'. Xie Lao said with some pride, introducing Zhao Tianming.

The development of Cantonese furniture, obviously influenced by Western culture, since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, has formed its own unique style, has been one of the typical styles of "Qing" furniture.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Western missionaries came to China, which strengthened the cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Due to its specific geographical location, Yangcheng became an important gateway for China's foreign trade and cultural exchanges at that time.

By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, most of the buildings of commercial institutions had imitated Western forms, and many government offices and private residences had also imitated them, forming an unprecedented "Western fever".

The furniture that is suitable for the architecture has gradually formed a new style that needs the times. As a result, Cantonese furniture with coarse materials, heavy physique, and complicated carvings became popular and became a "trend".

"Influenced by different factors such as national characteristics, customs, geographical climate, production skills, foreign culture, etc., Guangzuo furniture has formed a style of atmospheric shape, dignified posture, exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious decoration, with strong Lingnan regional characteristics.

At the same time, Guangzuo furniture also fully shows the characteristics of Lingnan culture of openness and innovation, inclusiveness, truth-seeking and pragmatism, and Lingnan architecture, Lingnan garden, Lingnan drama, become a different scenery in Lingnan culture. ”

Xie Lao was enthusiastic and talked a little endlessly.

"This whole set is Huanghuali?" Even Wang Zhiwei, who had passed the world, was a little surprised.

A long table in the middle, as a large coffee table, is directly opposite a bench with a backrest and intricately carved benches, and on either side of the table, there are two small coffee tables and single chairs around them.

In the back, there are two high tables and a cabinet specially used to store tea leaves and tea sets, which add up to more than a dozen!

He knows how precious Huanghuali is, it is difficult to find a piece of furniture made of Huanghuali wood, not to mention that this set is full of more than a dozen pieces, none of which is small in size.

Unlike other antiques, Wang Zhiwei also likes the furniture very much, and has collected a lot, but compared with the masterpiece in front of him, the ones he spent his time buying can't be taken out to meet people.

He carefully identified the carvings on the furniture, and indeed many places were carved with Western passionflower patterns, which were very different from Suzuo's tangled branch lotus, which was also a major feature that distinguished Guangzuo and Suzuo.

There is no need to look at them one by one, Wang Zhiwei knows that this set of furniture must be made of rosewood, and it is absolutely difficult to find time, no wonder Qi Lao dares to say that this is the most expensive thing in the hall.

Antique furniture, the biggest feature is that the material is wide and abundant, not stingy, most of the materials are the same, a piece of furniture is made of the same kind of wood, never mixed with other wood.

If rosewood is used, the whole furniture is rosewood, and if rosewood is used, the whole furniture is all rosewood, and the inside and outside are the same. In this way, the mellow and dignified rosewood, the moist like jade of huanghuali, the subtle and delicate sour branch wood, and the elegant and flexible wenge wood are vividly displayed.

In addition, its components are generally not spliced, but made of a piece of wood, no matter how bending is, generally do not use the splicing method, but use a piece of wood to dig.

Unlike Suzuo furniture, in the end, there is almost only a pile of sawdust left, which is extremely fine.

In addition, in order to show the beautiful texture of the wood, Guangzuo furniture is generally not decorated with paint, so that the wood is completely exposed. This is the case with this set of furniture in front of me, the natural and beautiful texture of yellow rosewood is clearly visible, forming a moving rhythm.

"You're welcome, everybody sits. Liu Lao greeted.

Sitting on it, Zhao Tianming was a little conscientious, and the others were also light and cautious, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would damage the carvings and various gems set on it.

A piece of high-end furniture is a beautiful carving. Guangzuo furniture is particularly particular about carving, absorbing and adopting Lingnan gold lacquer wood carving, jade carving, ivory carving and other skills and techniques, and at the same time influenced by Western culture, using a large area of high relief, making the furniture as a whole more magnificent, solemn and luxurious.

In some densely carved furniture, it is almost impossible to find a single part that has not been carved.

A high-end piece of furniture is often inlaid with marble, jade, precious stones, enamel, ceramics, luodian, metal, boxwood, ivory, amber, etc., creating a beautiful color effect.
