Listed by East2West Furniture, Florida.
*Note wood was oiled prior to photographing.
*Hongmu can be distinguished from other types of rosewoods by its' weight. It is heavy and there's no mistaking this fact.
The wood is Hongmu or Blackwood, superior to regular Rosewood - known to the Chinese as Black Gold or 'Suanzhi'. This appears during the middle Qing period—its literal meaning, 'sourwood' describes the pungent odor emitted when it is worked. Most of the dark heavily carved Qing period furniture is made from Hongmu.
Such pieces are increasingly sought after these days by collectors. less
