Why are mahogany crafts so expensive and where are the costs?

Mahogany handicrafts are made from mahogany, the expensive mahogany makes mahogany handicrafts expensive, mahogany is the raw material of high-end and precious furniture in our country, the reasons are:

1.The growing season is long, the growth of mahogany is slow, and most of their growth period is more than a few hundred years, so a finished tree has to go through several generations, resulting in a small yield.

2.The growth range is small, mahogany is produced in the south of our country, and there are cultivation and introduction cultivation in Guangdong and Yunnan in China, but after all, the production area is still too small, resulting in the lack of planting and insufficient supply, which can not meet the normal demand of the market, making mahogany scarce.

3.The mahogany is of good quality, the mahogany pattern is beautiful, the material is hard, durable, and not perishable, which provides high-quality raw materials for valuable furniture and arts and crafts, and increases the value of artworks.

4.The market demand is large, because of its preciousness, many people collect mahogany handicrafts as collectibles, and many rich people regard expensive mahogany handicrafts as a symbol of their status and wealth, which promotes the appreciation of mahogany handicrafts.

In recent years, mahogany furniture has become more and more sought after in the home decoration of the wealthy, but mahogany furniture is not only precious, but also mahogany is becoming more and more scarce, the process is becoming more and more complex, and the styles are also varied, so it is becoming more and more expensive.

As wood, the best of mahogany has reached a new level, and it is known as the best in the wood, and the same as agarwood, which is world-famous. Mahogany wood has excellent wood properties, excellent quality, and is a natural good material, but these alone can set the ** of mahogany handicrafts so high? Where is the cost of mahogany crafts?

Transportation is the first cost of mahogany, because in China, no mahogany, so the need for mahogany raw materials, it is necessary to transport from far abroad, and the long journey will cost a lot of materials. Mahogany needs to be imported, which is the same as general imported goods, ** will be high on the basis, but this is only the beginning.

The material itself is rare and expensive. There is a big difference from ordinary solid wood, there are tens of thousands of ordinary solid wood, but there are only 33 varieties of mahogany, and the number is small, making mahogany doubly precious. Mahogany is generally several times higher than solid wood, with an average of more than 10,000, so in the market, mahogany handicrafts naturally form an obvious price difference with solid wood.

Craftsmanship value. A mahogany handicraft has to consider the artificial, and the artificial part is the process. There is a big difference between mahogany and general solid wood, and there are many exquisiteness in production, and it can be seen from the half-month construction period that it is exquisite and fine.

Mahogany crafts are so expensive, their value is visible.

Free of charge to provide you with the use of furniture and maintenance problems, and at the same time to provide you with valuable advice on the placement of house furniture, style, etc.

Mahogany handicrafts are still more famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the traditional pull piece process handed down from history plus some modern technology, so that these cities with traditional historical and cultural atmosphere have derived exquisite and popular handmade handicrafts, Yiwu has become a world business paradise, so to export or go there wholesale.

After the source of goods is found, we are ready to find buyers, and only with orders can the export process be realized. The basic process of foreign trade is inquiry, payment, stocking, commodity inspection, customs declaration, verification, shipment, bill of lading, and foreign exchange settlement. Where does the inquiry come from, it is a process of finding customers.

There are more handicraft exhibitions this year, and you can go to the exhibition if you have the conditions, which is the most direct and convenient way to find customers. You can also join the Hong Kong International Procurement Network, HC Network's order busy plan, and invest a little membership fee in exchange for more procurement information.

After the customer finds it, it is easy to do, arrange the export according to the number of handicrafts agreed in the contract, and find the freight forwarding shipping company to export. It is necessary to choose those freight companies with high credibility and popularity, which are often thoughtful, efficient, reasonable and fair. Choose a freight company** that is able to provide not only efficient customs clearance services, but also multimodal transport services.

It is best to choose a letter of credit if the other party cannot use the letter of credit, but it must be confirmed in writing in the contract in advance to avoid disputes afterwards.

It is exported in accordance with the export process, and after the commodity inspection and customs declaration is passed, you can find a freight forwarding transportation company to export. It should be noted that the payment method and the bill of lading method are generally prone to accidents in these two aspects. Just pay attention.

What is the cost you are talking about, from the material to the customer?

The reason why mahogany is expensive is mainly because of the material and artificiality.

After the wood is bought, the first thing to cut is to cut the material, and the size, such as thickness, length, width and narrowness, are determined according to the furniture design drawings. In addition to mastering the operation technology of the machine, the cutting master should also adhere to two basic principles, that is, "long materials can not be sawed short, wide materials can not be sawed narrow". Mahogany logs are a product of nature and are prone to hollowing during the long growth process.

Sometimes the surface looks like a small hole, and the cutting material may be hollow, causing the production enterprise to suffer losses. Nearly half of the cost of mahogany furniture is spent on cutting, not only will there be a lot of leftovers, but also countless wastes, which will be costs everywhere.

High-end mahogany furniture not only refers to the precious raw materials, but also has excellent handicraft, but the mahogany furniture production workers have been in a state of tension, and it has become more and more obvious in the past two years. "The daily salary of a skilled technician was 300 yuan last year, and this year it soared to 500 yuan a day, and it takes at least more than a year for a piece of mahogany furniture to be designed and completed, and the wages of designers, carpenters, carvers, etc. are expensive. Taking the carving craftsman as an example, according to 500 yuan a day and 300 days of work a year, it will be 150,000 yuan a year, and this salary level is still in the middle of the year.

It is not surprising that the ** increase in mahogany furniture.

After the dealer batches the goods, the store rent, decoration costs, purchase funds, transportation costs, working capital (opportunity costs), labor costs, water and electricity costs, industrial and commercial taxes, planing these also have their own profits, so mahogany furniture to the hands of customers is naturally high.

Mahogany furniture has always been worth a lot of money, but a set of mahogany sofa can be sold for a sky-high price of 100 million yuan, which is definitely an incredible thing, what kind of mahogany sofa can be worth such a sky-high price? Is wood worth or craftsmanship worth it?

The mahogany art sofa "Splendid China" worth 100 million yuan was exhibited in Changsha.

It is understood that this mahogany sofa is made of precious Laotian red sour branch wood, which makes full use of the deep relief, hollow carving, inlay and other expression techniques in Dongyang's traditional wood carving, which took two years to carve.

This set of "splendid Huaxia" large mahogany sofa is composed of a main sofa, 4 single sofas and 3 coffee tables, a total of 18 parts, weighing more than 10 tons, with a total value of 100 million yuan, which can be called the most expensive sofa in the history of China's furniture exhibition.

The sofa is handmade, using 50 tons of Lao red sour branch wood, 30 craftsmen, and two years of meticulous carving.

The upper part of the sofa carving uses the artistic image of "flying lady" in traditional Chinese culture, implying the atmosphere of "peace and prosperity, joy and peace". The middle flower board inscription depicts the magnificent and enthusiastic eulogy of the splendid rivers and mountains of "thousands of miles of rivers, sails, overlapping mountains, and lush trees" in the form of landscape paintings, expressing the designer's good wishes for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature and the prosperity of today's society, and also symbolizing the spiritual outlook of the people of the Chinese land living and working in peace and contentment, prosperity and peace.

It can be summarized that the reason why mahogany furniture frequently spreads sky-high prices is that the value of its own wood cannot be ignored, but the value of craftsmanship is the main reason for its appreciation to such a sky-high price.

= = = = = = Mahogany value = = = = = First, the practical value of mahogany panels: Classical mahogany furniture is different from ceramics, calligraphy and painting, it has a certain practicality. The classical furniture bought at home can be used and furnished, and it can also reflect the taste of home decoration.

People can get a sense of beauty close to nature by admiring the classical furniture displayed in their homes. Because the classical mahogany furniture is made of hard, compact, gorgeous texture, elegant color and precious wood, the furniture itself is durable and durable, and the service life is extremely long. Second, the artistic value of mahogany plank:

There are many categories of traditional arts and crafts in Chinese history, but they can be summarized in two ways: one serves the majority of the people in society, which I call folk culture and art; The other is for a small group of upper-class people, and I call it elite culture and art. The former has many practitioners, a wide audience, and general artistic and technical requirements, just like it, and is not demanding the extreme, such as Dongyang wood carving, Huishan clay figures, etc.

The latter is obviously different, the practitioners are scarce, the audience is small, such items are artistically perfect and unique, the design is integrated into the cultural connotation, the technical challenge is difficult, and the selection of materials is fond of rare and precious materials, such as mahogany, jade, purple sand, etc. are all representative categories within the scope of the latter.

First, customer first, abide by the letter and discipline.

Dongyang, Zhejiang: the hometown of antique wood carving, the mahogany handicrafts here are mostly hand-carved, and there is a fairly developed industrial base. It is a relatively concentrated production and distribution center for wood carving handicrafts in China.

Dachong, Zhongshan, Guangdong: These two places produce mahogany furniture, and the leftovers of the general mahogany furniture factory will not be wasted, but used to make handicrafts. In recent years, mahogany raw materials are becoming less and less, and large materials are even more scarce, so small leftovers are reused and made into wood carvings, pen holders, etc., and even fingernail-sized materials have been made into handicrafts such as Buddha.

Therefore, the production base of mahogany furniture and mahogany handicrafts must also be very developed.

Similar to the above two places, there are: Fujian Xianyou, Beijing Dacheng, Gaobeidian and other mahogany furniture production areas.

In addition, in addition to the production area, you can also go to the circulation mall, such as Zhejiang Compulsory Commodity City and handicraft exhibitions in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and other places.

Nantong Rugao Linzi mahogany handicrafts street where the handicrafts are good, there are many people selling online, [Yamuxuan] is one of them, it is recommended that you go to see, this store is now doing activities, mahogany handicrafts are generally heavier, many of their goods are still doing free shipping, the goods are very value-for-money!

I also asked this question the other day, and a friend said online.

Yamuxuan "mahogany handicrafts are good, I bought one and looked at it, I personally feel very good, the workmanship and paint are very good, the store is a good person, I hope mine can help you!"

Mahogany raw materials are **common**, so which kind of mahogany has more collection investment value?

Huanghuali and rosewood.

Each ton is more than a few million yuan.

In China's mahogany collection market, these two kinds of wood are basically gone. The first is because the planted mahogany is still in the seedling stage, and the maturity is estimated to wait for hundreds of years, and the second is because almost all the mahogany that has been made into handicrafts has entered the auction collection market. At present, the red sandalwood is more than one million yuan per ton, and the number of Vietnamese huanghuali per ton is nearly 10 million yuan.

Big red sour branches. The investment prospects for collections are very good.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the big red sour branch gradually replaced Huanghuali and red sandalwood as the main materials for high-end furniture, and was loved by the upper class society at that time. At present, the big red sour branch is also becoming increasingly scarce, according to experts, affected by the increasing scarcity of mahogany resources, the big red sour branch ** has a lot of room for growth.

Burmese rosewood.

The beauty is not inferior to Huanghuali.

From the point of view of wood, the texture of Burmese rosewood is beautiful, not losing Huanghuali, and the growth cycle of Burmese rosewood is very long and the market for collecting rosewood is gradually hot, and the number will definitely be less and less, so the ** of Burmese rosewood will definitely continue **, it is a mahogany with more collection prospects.
