As the demand for classic mahogany furniture continues to rise, this type of antique craftsmanship has become increasingly valuable—much like Other forms of artistic heritage. Unfortunately, with growing popularity comes a surge in counterfeit products, and the techniques used by forgers are becoming more sophisticated than ever. For instance, some modern reproductions no longer follow traditional Chinese joinery methods. Instead, they rely on chemical adhesives, which not only compromises the authenticity of the pieces but also erases the intricate craftsmanship that once defined classical furniture.
Zhao Taiyu, an expert in the field, explains that there are now highly advanced methods of deception. Many collectors refer to official catalogs published by specialized research institutions when identifying authentic pieces. Knowing this, counterfeiters often replicate items that have been featured in these publications, flooding the market with fakes almost immediately. Some even go as far as intentionally damaging original antique furniture. By disassembling genuine pieces, they create copies and then mix old and new components to fabricate multiple "antique" items. These hybrid pieces are then sold at the high price of true antiques.
A common example is the transformation of a single chair into a pair or even four pieces, all made from a combination of original and newly crafted parts. These fakes are carefully assembled to look authentic, making it difficult for even seasoned collectors to distinguish them from real antiques. Understanding these tactics can help buyers spot the signs of fraud, but it still requires knowledge, experience, and a keen eye. The challenge lies not just in recognizing the fakes, but in understanding the value of true craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
