Chinese Furniture(ISBN=9780804835732) 夸克云 txt pdf umd tct 百度云 kindle 下载

The international market for antique Chinese furniture is

booming, and masterpieces from the Ming and Qing dynasties are now

worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chinese Furniture is a

survey of these collectibles—from the very best hardwood pieces

featured to standard softwood specimens still available on the

Asian market. The book presents an overview of carving styles, wood

types, regional variations, class distinctions and restoration

techniques.

With this renewed interest in antique furniture, a forgery market

has emerged. Thousands of factories in southern China are churning

out brand new or refurbished furniture and passing them off as

antiques. Chinese Furniture unearths these forgeries and serves as

an indispensable reference guide to collectors.
