Although the time to go back to the store was not long, Mr. Wang clearly noticed the changes in the market: “The two years have clearly felt that the market has begun to accept. I started from the investment and collection of Haipai furniture. The things of Shanghai School are originally things. Later, when I was involved in Western antique furniture, it was out of control. At present, in Xi'an, the investment and collection of Western antique furniture belong to the cultivation and guidance period of the market, but I believe that there will be a market for such a good thing." Interviews were interrupted by the audience from time to time, and there were many people who knew the details and asked about the price. Mr. Wang: "In Xi'an, there are a lot of rich people. The price is not the main problem, but since Xi'an is the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, many collectors' eyes are still in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including myself. Furniture, most of the friends around me invest and collect these are also. But I believe that the charm of Western antique furniture will be discovered.” Compared with other investment categories, the practical investment collection of antique furniture is more biased. a choice of lifestyle. Compared with ordinary practical furniture, antique furniture will not be depreciated after at least five or six years of use. Mr. Wang said: "I started to collect antique furniture because of my personal hobbies. Sometimes I used the things I bought before to sell and found that there is a lot of room for appreciation. The advantage of this collection is that it is not used in the warehouse, it is used every day. There is still room for appreciation after many years of things.” At present, the price of really good things is not very low, but the prices of ordinary furniture that are not fine are still low. Mr. Wang repeatedly stressed that it must be loved from the heart. If you are interested in Western antique furniture, you will receive the top things. “It is very enjoyable to make money with your own interests.” Furniture investment has become more and more popular in recent years. Domestic mainstream auction companies have also begun to get involved in the auction of Western antique furniture.

In December 2010, Shanghai Shengsheng held the first domestic Western antique furniture auction.

Professor Zani of Deglia University in Italy believes: "I am very happy that more and more Chinese people like western antique furniture, and hope to pass Western antique furniture, more China. People can understand Western traditional culture, which may become a new fulcrum for the exchange of Chinese and Western art markets.” Peter Hers, an expert on exhibitors at the Western Antiques Fair and European porcelain antiques, said: “When the group members told me When I sent out the invitation, I was very honored and excited, because the West’s enthusiasm for porcelain was indeed started from Marco. Polo’s first piece of porcelain from China.” The future trend is still bullish for Western antique furniture. The current market, as well as collections and investment methods, the reporter interviewed the famous antique agent, Taiwan's "follow the godfather" Xu Zhengfu. Xu Zhengfu has collected a lot of Western antique furniture. To this, he said modestly: "I am not a collection, it is usually used, because the biggest advantage of Western antique furniture is practical, it is more comfortable to sit, and the function is very complete." In the Western antique furniture market, Xu Zhengfu said: "At present, several auction companies have started to shoot. There are many stores in Beijing and Shanghai that sell antique furniture. Many of the buyers I have come across are artists and white-collar workers. I feel that Western antique furniture is easier to use. Chinese classical furniture needs a certain environment, and Western antique furniture may be better.” Xu Zhengfu stressed that many people may not know that many European old furniture are newer than new furniture. Cheap, "If it is European original furniture, the first and second pieces will be very expensive, but the price is relatively cheap after mass production." At present, most of the original classic European antique furniture is collected by foreign museums. The materials of Western antique furniture can't be compared with the old Chinese furniture, such as red sandalwood and yellow pear, but the western antique furniture is also made of logs. The materials are also very expensive, and the wood grain of the solid wood still retains the original appearance. If the antique furniture for more than 50 years is basically intact, it needs to be dry when moving from the south to the north; after a hundred years of antique furniture, it is already very dry and will not dry out. Xu Zhengfu is still bullish on the future trend of Western antique furniture. "We went to Europe to find things and didn't see the land, and now it's already in the middle class. It's more sophisticated, not Generally used by ordinary people, so the number is relatively small. Coupled with the destruction of Europe in the two world wars, more and more broken, now the Spanish and Portuguese 16th century classical furniture, France, Britain 18, 10 The furniture of the ninth century, as well as the Danish furniture that was designed and lined after World War II, was once brilliant, so buying Western antique furniture now means buying furniture from the European countries in the most prosperous period.” Xu Zhengfu believes that Chinese people like what they like. It will be bought in large quantities, which is one of the reasons for the price increase. On the other hand, the price of Western antique furniture in the mainland market has doubled with the rise of international prices. “In terms of international trade, the cost of a piece of money is about three to four dollars at the time of retail, including Shipping, customs clearance, transportation damage insurance and other expenses, so probably sell 10,000 yuan of furniture in Europe, the mainland price of 30,000 yuan, 40,000 yuan is normal." For the collection channel, Xu Zhengfu believes that there are many businesses in the mainland have introduced from overseas Furniture, if you go overseas, you need to transport it yourself. If you buy in different places like Denmark and France, you need to have a centralized container or your own warehouse. Unless it is a particularly good, especially classic antique furniture worth to go overseas, you are not recommended to go to Amoy. However, Xu Zhengfu also reminded readers that the collection of Western antique furniture belongs to the practical collection. "If you invest, choose the most exquisite and best, Louis XV, Louis XVI period, such as the top is covered with turquoise, copper Sheet metal and the like."
