Buy rosewood furniture to guard against counterfeit products

Reader Mr. Pang intends to buy a piece of rosewood, which is a favorite, and the second can also preserve value. But he heard a saying that some of the rosewood furniture on the market is a 'fake and shoddy' product, and some rosewood furniture is actually cheaper similar to wood. He turned to the editorial department of Jinghua Home for help, wondering if there is a way to distinguish the authenticity of the rosewood furniture, and hope that experts will tell him how to pick the rosewood furniture.

Does the red sandalwood really have the worry of Mr. Pang, the counterfeiter? Is it not superfluous? Actually not. According to industry sources, with the increase in the value of rosewood furniture, many businesses have raised their brains on the rosewood, and some ordinary wood has also begun to ''fish eye mixed'', in order to sell a good price.

According to Sun Shudong, director of the Furniture Inspection Office of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the main culprits of the red sandalwood are ''Côte d'Ivoire'. Côte d'Ivoire, also known as Côte d'Ivoire, is a red sandalwood and ketan. From the naked eye, whether it is texture or color, ''Kotan'' is very close to the red sandalwood. It is more difficult to distinguish the authenticity with the naked eye after making it into furniture. Fu Junmin, general manager of Xuanming's residence, specializing in rosewood mahogany furniture, also introduced that the market has a name for the 'African leaflet rosewood'. Because it is not mahogany, the price of raw materials is only 20,000 yuan / ton, and it grows very close to the red sandalwood, so that some businesses have taken a good idea.

The Lushi black rosewood, commonly known as ''big leaf rosewood'', is also easily sold as a rosewood to consumers. Fu Junmin said that the price of L. black sandalwood is only a fraction of that of red sandalwood, but because ''like appearance'' is similar to red sandalwood, and has the name of ''big leaf red sandalwood', it is easy to flick some unwitting consumption. By.

Fluorescence reaction test for so many counterfeiters, how to verify the body when buying rosewood furniture? There are also some methods on the market, said that some small tests can be used for testing. On the website, the reporter saw a demonstration by a mahogany company: four or five beakers filled with alcohol were placed on a table, and several small wooden blocks of similar colors were placed in the beakers. The reaction in the beaker is different: the red rose that rises in the beaker is the red sandalwood. The red smoke rises in the beaker but the speed is slow, the color is shallow, the Côte d'Ivoire rosewood, and the one that does not respond in the beaker is Lushi. Black Dalbergia. According to the business introduction, since Côte d'Ivoire red sandalwood and L. black sandalwood are easy to be pretending to be red sandalwood, consumers can use this method to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood.

Is this test result reliable? Sun Shudong said that red sandalwood does have a fluorescent response, but the practice in this test is not scientific, and the conclusions are not necessarily accurate. According to him, the species of the genus Pterocarpus will have a fluorescent reaction--put the red sandalwood into the water. After a period of silence, you can see that there is a layer of blue light on the surface of the water. This method can be used to distinguish whether the wood is red sandalwood. Although the wood in the red sandalwood includes red sandalwood, rosewood and Asian pear, because the color of the pear and the pear and the red sandalwood are easier to distinguish, it is generally not the case that the merchant will impersonate the rosewood and the pear, so this way The discrimination is still relatively accurate.

He also believes that in the merchant test, after putting the red sandalwood into an alcohol beaker, the alcohol will react with the extract in the tree species and will not produce a fluorescent reaction. If you only rely on the color in the beaker, it is more difficult to identify the authenticity of the material, and does not rule out the possibility of staining on some wood, so this method is not recommended.

Regulatory name protection rights Even if the manufacturer's wood is true, but how to prove that the piece of rosewood furniture that the consumer intends to purchase is made of red sandalwood? Fu Junmin introduced that consumers can let the merchant take a small piece of material from the furniture to test This will not damage the furniture and it will be easy to repair.

In addition to viewing the fluorescence reaction, experts said that when buying rosewood furniture, consumers should also observe the color of the wood. The furniture made of real rosewood is usually purple or purple, and the small white hair can be seen by the naked eye. The method of identifying true and false rosewood furniture is similar to the ''looking, smelling, asking, cutting'' in Chinese medicine: observing the difference in color and texture of wood, looking at its appearance and structure, the sandalwood furniture should retain the natural color of wood, without Paint, wax, you can pay attention to the lacquered rosewood furniture; knock on the furniture to listen to the sound, the sound of red sandalwood and other wood are different; ask the material of the salesperson wood, specific to the wood Scientific name; touch the furniture, experience the feel and craftsmanship.

According to industry insiders, when the general business introduces furniture, the use of consumers lacks professional knowledge, and the verbal guarantee is made of rosewood, but the name of ''African leaflet rosewood'' and ''Daiye rosewood'' is indicated on the invoice. Once consumers buy home and find it fooled, it is often extremely difficult to defend their rights because of insufficient evidence. Therefore, Sun Shudong reminded consumers that when purchasing the rosewood furniture, the operator must indicate the material of the purchased mahogany furniture on the furniture purchase contract, and must write the formal wood name specified in the timber standard instead of the common name.
