Skills for purchasing rosewood furniture
1. Observe the smoothness of rosewood furniture.
The heartwood of black rosewood is purple-black, dark purple and reddish brown, with black stripes. It is rare and expensive. Once polished and smoothed, it gives people a mellow and implicit beauty. This is the main method for identifying black rosewood.
2. Observe whether the growth wheel of rosewood furniture is obvious.
Authentic rosewood heartwood is orange-red brown, purple-red brown, and dark purple; the wood is hard and heavy, usually sinks into water, with purple-black stripes and landscape patterns and oil, and is an excellent material for making furniture and crafts.
3. Smell the smell of rosewood furniture.
There is also a common characteristic of white rosewood and other two rosewood trees that it will also emit a edible vinegar during processing. It is not as red as rosewood, and it is not as oily as red as rosewood. After processing, it is somewhat similar to grass rosewood, but it is much more expensive than grass rosewood.
Generally speaking, due to the different origins of rosewood raw materials, the materials also vary, so the prices of raw materials also vary. It is generally believed in the market that darker rosewood has excellent quality, while lighter red rosewood has poor material as darker colored colors. It is precisely because of the differences in the raw material prices of the two that some manufacturers dye lighter red rosettes and make them into darker colors.
Cleaning and maintenance of rosewood furniture
1. Waxing maintenance.
For the first two to three years of use, it is best to perform a comprehensive waxing maintenance with solid floor wax when the seasons alternate. During use, the furniture will continue to "reverse oil" from the inside to the outside, which has an excellent self-care effect. After a few years, there will be no need to wax it.
2. Wipe rosewood furniture with a coarse cloth.
During the wiping process, it is best to wipe it with a coarse cloth. Over time, the surface of the furniture will be brighter and smoother. There are many places for carving and hollowing in hardwood furniture. In some places, it is difficult to deal with cloth. Just use a shoe brush to wipe it. Moreover, the harder the brown hair of the brush, the better the effect.
3. Do not place rosewood furniture in direct sunlight.
If left for too long, the surface of the furniture fades due to the influence of ultraviolet rays in the sun.
4. Use water sandpaper to polish.
After the utensils or items that are too cool or overheated are placed on the surface of the furniture, a “ white marks ” phenomenon will appear, which will affect the appearance. This phenomenon is just a natural reaction of the wax on the surface of the furniture, and the wood itself is not damaged. It is very simple to handle. Just sand with 800-digit water sandpaper and wipe it with a cloth.
5. Pay attention to indoor temperature and humidity.
When the windows are opened for ventilation during rainy season, the temperature must be kept at 15-25 degrees in a room equipped with air conditioning, or place an appropriate amount of bonsai and fish tank next to the furniture to adjust the relative humidity of the air. Hardwood furniture shrinks when the air humidity is too low and expands when it is too high. When using and placing, you should be careful not to place it in places that are too humid or too dry, such as close to high-temperature and high-heat places such as stove heating, or basements, to avoid mold and cracks. It is not advisable to lay airtight materials such as plastic cloth on the desktop.
6. Place rosewood furniture in a wet place.
Rosewood furniture should be damp and dry, so it should not be exposed to sunlight. Do not blow the air conditioner against rosewood furniture.
7. Be careful when moving.
When using it, avoid the impact of sharp objects. If there is dust or greasy, you can use a broom and clean soft cotton cloth.
8. Gasoline is prohibited on the surface of rosewood furniture. Clean organic solvents such as
acetone to avoid chemical reaction with the wax on the surface of the furniture.
