What's the difference between Huang Huali and Huang Huali?
Second, the origin of old redwood: In the middle of Qing Dynasty, window glass became more and more popular in superior families, and various mosaic techniques became more and more popular. Placing dark hardwood furniture has become a fashion in the north and south of China. Mahogany, as a substitute for precious and hard-to-find rosewood and dried Huang Huali wood, is imported in large quantities from Nanyang. Its scientific name should be Dalbergia Auschwitz, which is the best in rosewood. It also has amber texture, satin luster, grimace pattern and different colors. Therefore, it is easily confused with Huang Huali wood with oily fragrance. Because Cantonese people like the heavy colors of red sandalwood and iron pear, Suzhou people prefer the light colors of traditional Huang Huali and beech. When choosing old mahogany, dark colors are mostly used for extensive furniture, and light colors are mostly used for Soviet-style furniture. (Southerners call it white sour branch)
Third, the origin of the new mahogany: the new mahogany is obviously relative to the old mahogany. After the old mahogany was warned, some merchants imported similar mahogany varieties as substitutes. The new mahogany has the basic appearance of the old mahogany, but it is only observed by the naked eye. The surface is obviously rough and has a feeling that it will never be polished. Moreover, the color of the new mahogany is lighter than that of the old mahogany, which makes many people confuse it with Cao Huali. New mahogany furniture styles are often late, mostly from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
4. Origin of Caohuali: It is the worst kind of common pear, with large and loose brown eyes, no black pith line, no fish lines and no grimace. No oily luster, light weight and poor aesthetic feeling. Most of the furniture made is in the shape of the Republic of China.
To sum up, "fragrant" rosewood is easily confused because it has many similarities with old rosewood, grass rosewood and new rosewood, especially its poor preservation and heavy wax loss.
