12 types of furniture maintenance, learned that you are experts!

Furniture, such as people, people need to maintain health to live long-term moisture, furniture also needs "health" maintenance, in order to experience years of vicissitudes and style still. There are limits to people's lives, and those who are over one hundred and fifty years of age are unheard of. Is there any limit to the life of furniture? It is still not easy to say that, in short, the furniture of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty all survived. There are also many wooden figurines and lacquer screens unearthed in the Warring States Period; the furniture of the Ming Dynasty dates from five to six hundred years ago, and they are still properly preserved. Just made fresh, bright. Compared with people, furniture is a super high life. No wonder it can be passed on as a family heirloom generation.

The following will start with twelve aspects, specifically talk about furniture maintenance ideas, methods and taboos.

0 1

Compliance with wood

People's health stresses the conformity of human nature, and the maintenance of furniture should also conform to the woodiness, which is the “temper” of furniture:

In the winter, every household in the northern part of the country has its own heating system, and it is very comfortable for people to get away from the heating. However, the furniture must be far away from the heating to avoid excessive shrinkage of the wood caused by excessive temperature.

Summer comes and it often rains. Furniture should be avoided by the window, so as not to get wet in rainy weather, to damage the surface and damage it.

A lot of furniture is still afraid of the wind, especially with furniture such as tables and cabinets, with the influence of “swelling and swelling”, it is easy to crack and warp at the outlet for a long time.

In short, for people, the temperament of the furniture is "hard-working, easy-going, long-lasting"; for the weather, the temperament of the furniture is "can only be gradual, not mutated." Collectors must do whatever they like, and adapt to the nature of wood, so that exquisite ancient furniture can be made to last a long time.

"To comply with wood" is the purpose and philosophy of furniture maintenance.

How to prevent the collapse of the case

There is a case called a shelf case, also known as a shelf case. The case is very long, thick and heavy. Its case is not integrated with the case, but it is detachable. The northern part is commonly known as “a piece of jade” and the south is called “stem piece”. It is popular in the late Qing Dynasty. People generally use it to place heavy bells or rocks and bonsai.

Because the items on the case are heavy, the pressure on the case is very great. Both ends of the case are supported by the leg of the case, so it is not too difficult. However, the middle of the case is vacant, and there will be danger of collapse after a long time. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the case should be turned every other year or six months. Such a slightly curved case will be restored by changing the direction of force.

Painted

Because the climate in the south is moist, the surface of Su furniture is basically rubbed with a thin layer of lacquer to prevent moisture. The thin brush makes it very transparent. This not only prevents the intrusion of moisture, but also does not mask the beauty of the wood itself. The characteristics of Su Zu furniture are painted inside and outside, and both inside and outside are protected.

Extensive furniture also rubbed a layer of paint. Painting is more difficult for the average person and can be done by professionals. Beijing-made hardwood furniture is not painted, only a layer of wax on the surface. Because the climate in the north is dry, there is no need to paint, and after the wax is waxed, the furniture undergoes long-term repeated rubbing in the process of use. The wax on the surface will infiltrate into the wood, and oxidation occurs and the pulp is produced. Padding is also known as “wood rust.” “Wood rust” is a term borrowed from bronze ware. It is valuable in ancient furniture and is both beautiful and protective. The surface of the furniture that has formed a pulp slurry cannot be heated by boiling water, nor can it stick to highly soluble liquids such as gasoline, otherwise it will damage the pulp slurry.

How to maintain the desktop

There is a saying that goes well: "The cold table can't brew hot tea." This sentence can be said to comply with the wooden nature, because the ambient temperature for storing furniture can not be quenched and heated. For example, furniture with a stone surface (such as tables, screens, etc.) can not be placed outside in the winter, summer can not be placed in the sun, so as not to crack.

With table sets

In ancient times, expensive furniture was equipped with table sets, and table covers were mostly made of cloth. For example, in the Qing dynasty, the imperial palace unified the use of blue cloth as a table cover instead of satin (some satisfactorily use satin as a tablecloth, which is wrong). This is mainly because cloth absorbs water better than satin. The blue cloth not only absorbs water, but also sucks dust. At that time, it was called "Indanthrene Linbu."

The blue cloth table cover is usually a dark blue edge, a light blue core, or a black edged blue core. It is used to match black and red precious furniture. The contrast between warm and cool colors is very layered.

Keep dry and deal with the season

In areas where the seasons have changed significantly, the maintenance of furniture is extremely demanding. For example, after the volt days, the spring and autumn seasons, the climate changes from dryness to dryness, and the door should be opened at the right time, and the drawer should be opened to synchronize the wind inside and outside the furniture so as to avoid warping on one side because it is too dry or too wet.

However, when it is too windy, do not allow the furniture to be exposed to the sun or the wind. Place it in a cool, dry place. Because excessive sunlight damages the material of wooden furniture and causes cracking or warping of the wood, it is necessary to ensure that the ancient furniture does not suffer from sunlight while maintaining its moderate dryness.

Waxing

If the furniture is used for a long time, the gloss will gradually dissipate, affecting its appearance.

In this case, floor polish, beeswax, etc. can be baked in the sun or at the edge of the fire, and the old shoe brush can be scratched repeatedly, so that the brush is covered with a lot of tiny wax particles. Then use this brush covered with wax particles to repeatedly brush on the furniture, this method is called "dry shake wax." After the "dry waxing" treatment, the tarnished furniture immediately "red light" is more effective than women's cosmetics. You can also wax directly with purchased Bellis beads or floor wax.

Responsive to the looseness and shedding of furniture components

If the parts of the furniture come off (for example, a drawer ring, etc.), the most important thing to note is: To protect this part from falling off, the jargon is called "The corpse does not leave." This detached part can be tied together with the same color of wool and furniture, if it is a part of the cabinet or drawer, it can also be placed in the cabinet or drawer. Must not be placed indiscriminately so as not to lose it for a long time or to abandon it for other reasons. Otherwise, once it can be repaired, if you cannot find the missing parts, it is almost impossible to find an original part.

If the furniture is too loose, it can be tied with ropes or tied in sacks, and then find repairs. Do not use chemical products such as tape to prevent mishandling.

How to move furniture

Many people's furniture is well protected at home, but once you move home and you are finished, many of the furniture I have seen have been damaged during the move. For furniture collectors, the move is a university question. If you don't learn or don't know, it's a shock to learn, unless you believe you won't move it forever.

Collectors with many collectors should especially make up for this lesson because there are too many furniture and they must be stacked in order to save space, and if they are improperly placed, the phenomenon of collapse and leg-turning will follow.

The first step in the code placement is to figure out the order in which the code is placed, first with a solid, heavy piece of furniture on the lowest floor. You cannot use a bed because the bed is thick but not solid. The bulky chair-stools with stone surfaces are best placed with four feet in the sky, so that the center of gravity is reduced and it is not easy to damage. It is also advisable to use a four-legged style when loading and unloading, even if the shaking is violent, it will not damage it.

10

Dust removal

Due to the pollution of the environment, more and more dust is in the air, especially in the city, so the protection of furniture adds a crucial lesson to dust.

A lot of furniture has carved parts or complicated hollow parts, especially easy to accumulate dust, can be wiped with a soft cotton cloth, but remember two things:

First, do not use towels. Because the hair of the towel is a small ring structure composed of threads, it will bruise the carvings, corners and tiny cracks of the wood grain of the furniture;

Second, do not use a damp cloth. Wet cloth is the natural enemies of ancient furniture. It will bring about drastic changes in the wet and dry surface of the furniture, contrary to the principle of “conforming to wood”. When the moisture in the wet cloth is mixed with the dust, it will form granules, which will damage the surface of the furniture once it is rubbed, and it will damage the original color of the furniture, and cause the furniture surface to crack later. People are generally unaware of their dangers. They are often used to wipe furniture with a damp cloth, thinking that it will be cleaner. If there is too much grime, you can wipe it with a damp cloth that dries.

Cleaning

Cleaning is mainly aimed at old furniture. If the furniture is not professionally cleaned, it will be easily rotted. Second, it will affect the appearance of a living room that cannot accommodate such dirty things, no matter how old it is.

The most conservative cleaning method is to use alcohol to wipe, because the alcohol can soften the floating mud and grease on the surface of the furniture, and it is easy to remove and not damage the wood. This method is particularly suitable for lacquer furniture and Phoebe furniture.

During the cleaning process, do not use boiling water to burn the table top, nor use scrapers or coarse steel wool to scrape. If necessary, use wood chips or bamboo chips to remove thick dirt that is not easy to remove. After cleaning, apply a layer of beeswax to restore the old style of old furniture.

12

Reasonable placement

There is also a certain relationship between furniture placement and maintenance. In the bungalow, the article, cupboard, and table should be kept at a distance of one centimeter from the wall when placed, and should not be placed close to the wall. Because if you put too close, moisture on the brick wall will erode the furniture, make the furniture damp, it will damage the surface of the furniture wax layer or pulp, and then damage the wood.

There are rattan drawer furniture, do not put heavy objects and blunt instruments, so as not to crush and scratch, can not step on, especially in the dry season, the most vulnerable to damage.
