Maintenance One: Adaptation of wood
Pay attention to people's health response to human nature, is going to follow the maintenance of wooden furniture, which also is the furniture, "temper": students every household in northern winter heating, people close to some very comfortable from the heating, but the furniture was farther away from the heating, so as to avoid high temperature caused by excessive shrinkage of wood, leading to cracking.
Summer, and it often rains, furniture should be avoided by the window display, so as not to damp in rainy weather, broken up the surface, damage to the tenon.
Many furniture afraid the wind, especially with the surface of furniture such as tables, cabinets and other furniture categories, by the "shrinkage of the swelling" effect, blowing a long time in the outlet easy to crack, warp.
Furniture better than camp-beds, can be hard toss. So intense is not moving furniture, you must gently, not too frequently, or easy to fall apart.
Old furniture can not be put down in one place, is the so-called "Sweep your own door." With the season of the furniture in the place position to do the appropriate adjustments. If it always stay in one place, it is easy to corrupt. I often see this antique furniture: exquisite front and side, the wall side terrible, just like a dish from the fire burned half of his face, people looked at heart is full of infinite pity ... ...
In short, people, furniture, temperament is the "ground moving fugitive, long static mortal"; on the weather, the furniture's temper is "can only be gradual, not mutation." Collection must match up, go with wood sex, fine antique furniture can be spread to long.
"Conform to wood sex" is the purpose and concept of maintenance of furniture, here are some specific maintenance skills.
Maintenance II: how to prevent the case side Tayao
There is a long narrow table called shelf reads, also known as frame Jian, case in very long, very thick, too heavy. It is not the case surface and the case of one leg, but removable. North called "a piece of Jade", the South called "Terrier board", popular in the Qing Dynasty, people generally use it to put heavy rocks that tells or bonsai.
Because the surface of the item is very bulky case, so the case of surface pressure is very great. Surface at both ends of the case due to leg and support the case, it is not difficult, but the case of the middle surface is vacant, there will be a long time Tayao risk. To avoid this phenomenon, it should be every year or six months, turned inside surface of the case, as the case of slightly curved surface because the direction of change of the force reduction.
Maintenance III: painting
Because the humid south, to moisture, the Soviet Union to make furniture basically wipe the surface of a thin layer of lacquer. Paint brushes too thin, it becomes very transparent, so as to prevent the intrusion of water, will not cover up the beauty of wood itself. Furniture is characterized by the Soviet Union for both inside and outside painting, inside and out are protected. Widely used for furniture also rub a layer of paint. Painting is difficult for most people, we can ask the professionals do. Beijing made hardwood furniture is painted, only the surface layer of hot wax. Because of the North, dry climate, no painting, and hot wax, the furniture in the course of stroke after a long repeated, the surface will be penetrated into the wood wax, oxidized, resulting in packet pulp. Package pulp, also known as "wood rust", "Wood rust" is a term borrowed bronzes, antique furniture it is very valuable, not only beautiful, but also protect the furniture. Pulp of the furniture package has been formed by open water hot surface can not, can not stick very soluble liquids such as gasoline, etc., can damage the package pulp.
Maintenance IV: How Maintenance Desktop
There is a saying goes: "cold table and can not brew tea." This sentence can be said to conform to the wood, because the ambient temperature storage of furniture can not be cold and hot. For example, with the stone surface of the furniture (such as tables, screens, etc.) can not be placed outdoors in winter, summer, sun drying can not be placed in order to avoid cracking.
Tables are often used by ancient people very well protected, and why? Because the ancients to eat, drink tea like the present one, all leftovers Wang Zhuoshang heap, made dirty. They eat, drink tea trays are used on the desktop to be protected, and if what her maid, servant to tea or rice soup accidentally spilled on the table, and ultimately reprimanded meal.
Oil on the desktop, use alcohol wipe, without alcohol, you can wipe with high spirits, this is the old rich families commonly used method of Beijing.
Maintenance five: the table set with
In ancient times, precious furniture sets are equipped with tables, desk sets are mostly made of cloth. If the Qing Palace unified set of tables with a blue cloth to do, not satin (some clean government play in the popular satin tablecloths, is wrong), mainly because of absorbent cloth is better than the satin. Blue cloth not only water, but also cleaning, was called "Yindanshilin cloth."
Blue cloth tables set side is usually dark blue, light blue core, or the black side of the blue core, with black and red for luxury furniture, warm colors and cool colors in sharp contrast, very layered.
Maintenance Six: Keep dry, respond to seasonal
Significant areas in the seasons, the furniture is very particular about maintenance. Such as the dog days of summer after the spring and fall, etc., dry weather or by the tidal wave of dry change should be timely and open the door, opened the drawer and the furniture inside and outside the synchronization of wind, so as to avoid side too dry or too wet and warp.
However, when the wind had not let furniture exposed to the sun or the outlet, should be placed in a cool, dry place. Because of excessive sun exposure can damage wooden furniture materials, resulting in cracking or warping of wood, so try to ensure that old furniture is not subjected to sunlight, while maintaining its appropriate dry.
