How Much is a Chinese Rosewood Furniture?
- Is rosewood a hardwood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, rosewood is hardwood.

Shop a collection of antique rosewood furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is Chinese rosewood?1 Answer
Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020Chinese rosewood, known as hongmu (红木), is a general term used for a variety of tropical fine grained fragrant hardwoods of deep reddish brown color that is prized for furniture making.
PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020Known in China as huali, rosewood is considered the finest hardwood and is prominently seen in luxury furniture from the Ming and early Qing dynasties. The exotic wood was favored for its durability, rich coloring, and distinctive grain. It is as collectible now as it was then.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify antique Chinese furniture, look carefully at its details. Chinese craftsmen often built furniture using mortise and tenon joinery, eliminating the need for nails and screws. If you see this type of hardware, your piece is likely not at least 100 years old, especially if the hardware still looks new and shiny. Since antique furniture was handmade, you will normally see slight imperfections, such as tool marks or slight variations in carvings. Pieces that appear completely uniform and pristine are less often genuine antiques.
When present, maker's marks can also be helpful. Research the marks to learn more about when the maker was active and producing pieces like yours. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your furniture for you.
Shop an assortment of antique Chinese furniture.
PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To care for Chinese lacquered furniture, wipe it with a damp cloth regularly. You can use a paste wax intended for use on lacquer finishes to restore shine, but avoid using harsh furniture polishes and cleaners on pieces. On 1stDibs, shop a range of lacquered furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chinese-style furniture is usually called Chinoiserie. The term indicates furniture and decorative objects produced in Europe and North America that borrow design elements from pieces made in China and other East Asian countries. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Chinoiserie.
