The two terms “rosewood†and “grass pear†are what many consumers hear from the salesperson when they buy furniture. As we all know, huanghuali is the most valuable kind of wood, so what are the two "flowerwood" and "grass pear" with only one word difference? And what is the value of them? I believe that many people have such doubts in their hearts. Ordinary consumers without professional knowledge can easily be slaughtered by malicious businesses at this point. Today, this article takes everyone to take a good look at the basic knowledge of "Pear Blossom", let us have more confidence in the purchase of solid wood furniture.
What exactly does “Rosewood†and “Grass Pear†mean?
First of all, the most accurate explanation for "Rosewood" is the seven kinds of wood in the "Redwood" national standard rosewood rosewood. They are: large fruit rosewood, Indian rosewood, Vietnamese rosewood, Andaman rosewood, hedgehog rosewood, sacred rosewood and bird foot rosewood, they are genuine mahogany. "Grass pear" is neither the scientific name of any kind of plant nor the title of any species of family. It is only a general term formed by the people and the market. There are certain differences in the woods it refers to in different eras and different regions, which is why merchants can make articles on this name.
The name "grass pear" first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Since Hainan huanghuali was almost cut down, it was introduced and used as an alternative species. It can be seen from the royal palace to the rich people in the Republic of China. The term “grass pear†mainly includes two kinds of wood, one is big fruit rosewood (commonly known as Burmese rosewood), and the other is Indian red sandalwood (commonly known as rosewood, rosewood), which is the two of the rosewood mentioned above. Kind. Later, as time went to the introduction of the national standard of redwood, the reference of the grass pear became more broad. According to the habits of different regions, all kinds of rosewood have more or less chance to be called grass pear.
What is the relationship between rosewood, grass pear, and huanghuali?
Then the key question is, rosewood is these, then what is huanghuali? In fact, huanghuali does not belong to rosewood, but Dalbergia genus fragrant wood species, the scientific name is fragrant rosewood. Therefore, apart from the name, the pear and the huanghuali are not related to each other, and the value is even more different.
It seems that the grass pears and rosewoods have been clarified, and I believe that no one will confuse them with huanghuali. But back to the market point of view, grass pears must be rosewood? In other words, can the grass pear be the redwood of the national standard? This answer is a pity. In the northern market, the grass pears refer to Burmese rosewood, which is the large fruit rosewood, which is rosewood. In Hebei, the rosewoods produced in Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia are collectively referred to as grass pears and redwoods. However, in recent years, some Asian pears have been called turf pears. In addition, there is also a kind of ancient Yi Su wood, commonly known as Brazilian rosewood, which is also called grass pear in many places. Obviously, Asian pears and ancient Yi Su wood are not strictly redwoods.

Not the rosewood of the rosewood
There are more than 20 kinds of Asian rosewood. Commonly, there are Angola red sandalwood, discolored red sandalwood, African red sandalwood and Anheuser red sandalwood. They are prolific in tropical African countries such as Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Most of them have a dry density of less than 0.76g. /cm3, so it does not belong to the national standard mahogany. Guyi Sumu is a genus of Sumuaceae, and there are many varieties distributed in tropical Myanmar, Africa and the Americas. There are many imported products, and there are many good quality products, but the market price is still far from the real rosewood. In addition, the common "fake" rosewood, as well as the citrus, gamma, lacquer tree, wood Yingdou and so on. In summary, these wood species listed, as long as the business has a heart, because the domestic multi-purpose, often followed by the origin of the word "flower pear", then referred to as rosewood, or the name of "grass pear" is a matter of course, generally If consumers are unintentional, the price of a little flicker may exceed the actual level in the market.
How should we distinguish
From the appearance, Huanghua Pear's pattern is delicate and vivid, clear and identifiable, not disorderly, mostly black lines, occasionally see dark brown and red line patterns, there are "grimace"; rosewood color is bright, texture is fine, texture is clear However, the pattern is less changed than the yellow pear; while the Asian pear is more coarse, the brown eye is too large, and the color yellow is dry and dull. Another important point is that if the shape and ornamentation of an old piece of furniture is characterized by the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, this piece of furniture is more likely to be rosewood, so be careful. However, in fact, some of the best-looking rosewoods are indeed similar to huanghuali, and some of the Asian pears and even the "fake rosewoods" are also outstanding in appearance. In reality, consumers who do not know much about wood should make Accurate judgment is indeed very difficult. There is also a way to easily distinguish whether it is rosewood or not, and the smell of wood such as omecol, gamma, and lacquer tree is not obvious.
There are some unscrupulous merchants on the market, which sell the rosewood in the standard of huanghuali or mahogany in the flea market and furniture city by dyeing, aging and surface hardening of wood such as Asian pear. The common feature of this type of wood is that the proportion is generally lighter, the material is loose, the brown eye is longer, and the color is mainly red or light red, generally 80cm-160cm large diameter material.
All in all, it is unreasonable and unreasonable for us to have professional appraisal levels. In the final analysis, when buying furniture, you must first ask what kind of material they are, what the scientific name is, and when signing the contract, you must write the standard name of the wood in the material column. This is a guarantee even if it is deceived. At the same time, I hope that the majority of merchants should use less fuzzy titles such as "grass pear" or "a certain pear" to confuse the audience. Only in this way can we standardize the market, promote sound development, and stabilize the long-term interests of consumers and manufacturers themselves.
