What is Huang Hua Li?

Huanghuali, a rare species of rosewood, has become a favorite for Chinese antique furniture collectors.

Huanghuali, or "yellow flowering pear" wood, is mainly produced in Hainan province and once adorned imperial abodes.

Huanghuali has witnessed a sharp price rise in recent years due to increased demand and limited supply.

The volume of new huanghuali wood originating in Hainan is so small it has now been placed under State protection.

A veteran in the antique furniture industry said it is estimated huanghuali may face extinction within five years. Now the wood is sold at eight to 12 million yuan per ton.

Huanghuali is a slow-growing tree. A twelve-inch trunk takes about 100 years to grow.

Because of its rarity and quality, huanghuali furniture is one of the most precious and expensive furniture.
