"I'm really annoyed by the so-called grand modern European-style furniture. I prefer traditional Chinese furniture—it's simple, elegant, and has a unique charm!" said a young man from Beijing while browsing mahogany furniture at the Xuanming Dianju Red Sandalwood Art Museum. He was setting up a wedding room and, despite his family's suggestion to go for European-style furniture, he decided to go against the trend to create a more "quaint" and personal space. In the end, he chose a six-piece set of square dining table, chairs, a sofa, a bed, and even a rosewood circle chair and a Badashanren backrest chair, all made from red rosewood.
Ms. Wei, the manager of the mahogany furniture store, mentioned that about 30% of the young customers who come in now are interested in Ming-style furniture. She believes this reflects an improved cultural awareness among the younger generation, as well as a growing sense of national pride and cultural confidence. She also explained that there are different types of chicken wing wood, such as Myanmar and African varieties, with a significant price difference between them—up to two-thirds. It can be very hard for consumers to tell the difference without proper knowledge. According to national standards, there are 33 species under five genera and eight categories, each with vastly different values. Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this by using lower-quality wood to mimic expensive mahogany furniture.
In recent years, more young people have been showing interest in mahogany furniture, especially those born after the 1980s who are setting up their first homes. While it's great that young people are developing an appreciation for this traditional craft, Ms. Wei warned that they often lack experience and should be cautious when purchasing. Unlike older customers, who have spent years studying and understanding the value of mahogany, younger buyers may not be able to distinguish quality from fake products easily. She advised them to do their homework before making a purchase.
Here are some tips for buying mahogany furniture: First, understand the price differences between materials and ask clearly what type of wood is used and where it comes from. Second, check the store's reputation and whether the pricing system is transparent—don't be easily convinced by claims like "factory direct sales." Third, ensure that the invoice provided by the seller includes details such as the grade, material type, and origin of the furniture, as required by national regulations. Taking these steps can help protect yourself from being misled in the market.
