The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Zhang Nan also asked about the house, and planned to contact the department store tomorrow to get things done as soon as possible. Ω㈧㈠『Chinese delta text network Ω⒈

In the afternoon, the four of them drove to Weng Qianhui's house with some special gifts bought in Xi'an.

First, have a polite conversation with the mother of the Weng family sister and brother, and then went to see the things Weng Yeming bought on his behalf.

There are three main rooms, one for each person, and eating is in their mother's room, which is bigger. But this would be interesting to Weng Yeming's room: it was filled with boxes and pockets, looking at the whole grocery store.

Fortunately, Weng Yeming is still a bit "clean up", there are too many and not messy, otherwise it is estimated that there will be no place to step.

"Brother Zhang, you see, they are all here. Calligraphy, painting, porcelain, coins, etc., as well as two official hat chairs and matching coffee tables from the early Qing Dynasty at the latest. I let my relatives in the furniture factory see it. Absolutely Huanghuali's..."

A set of chairs is very well preserved. The so-called "early four" refers to the heads of the chair at the ends and the fronts of the left and right armrests. This is the traditional name of the folk carpenter, ranging from vulgar to elegant, and now it is the standard name for this type of chair.

There are very few decorative carvings on the two chairs, and a flower pattern surrounded by a double chichi is embossed on the backing board; the other is finely carved on the kettle-style curling teeth, with a small cloud carved in light.

The decoration is less, because the characteristic of the Huanghuali official hat chair is not in the decoration at all, but in the thin components and large curvature!

The curved and thin components must be dug out of thick wood: if made according to the raw materials, this chair could have been made quite thick! But at the beginning, on the basis of the large-scale unchanged, they did not hesitate to waste labor and materials to cut it into a slender, soft and special effect.

Moreover, its front and rear legs are made of one piece of wood, the back legs are directly extended to connect to the head, and the front legs support the goose neck.

Zhang Nan doesn't understand wood, but the style can still be understood: this pair of chairs is really good!

I also tried the chair frame. It felt very hard and didn't feel swaying at all, indicating that the tenons were still tightly engaged. The most commendable thing is that the bottom of the eight legs of the two chairs is basically not bad, and the state of preservation is excellent.

After looking carefully for a while, he said to Weng Yeming: "Ye Ming, these two chairs are typical Ming dynasty styles. Shiyou ** are Ming dynasty products, but the possibility of early Qing cannot be ruled out."

Speaking and pointing to the tall and thin four-corner coffee table, he said, "This coffee table should not be the original one. I think it will be in the middle of Qing Dynasty at the earliest."

When Weng Yeming heard this, he was a little nervous: "I let the relative look at a chair. If the bicycle is not easy to carry, will it be a loss?"

He was bought at the big price of the original set of tables and chairs.

Seeing the young man a little nervous, Zhang Nan smiled and said, "How much did you spend in total?"

"3oo yuan, the main person who buys goods knows the goods."

"No loss, okay."

Nowadays, sometimes a mahogany official hat chair is cheaper than two newly-made stools. 3oo yuan is already considered a high price, but the furniture in the Ming Dynasty was originally less, and the seller was also a member of the circle, so the price could not be lowered.

If you are in the house of the demolished household and you don’t know how to do it, you may be able to get three items worth 50 yuan.

After reading the chairs and looking at others, Weng Yeming took out the scrolls from the cloth covers: Zheng Banqiao's paintings, Yu Youren's words... But among them, Zhang Nan likes a 1972 landscape by Mr. Qi Gong the most.

Now that Mr. Qi Gong is still alive, his paintings, calligraphy and painting appear relatively more, and they are only private transactions. The auction was still in 1993.

There are not many calligraphy and paintings. There are only 12 of various types. This is what the stall owners deliberately collected after Weng Yeming became the father of Pan Jiayuan: he doesn't want the unnamed ones at all, and ordinary calligraphy and painting are not good.

The porcelain stayed still, Weng Yeming took out a box with more than ten silver dollars wrapped in cloth, most of them were dragons with rare layouts, and only one was very distinctive: Yuan Shikai Gaoying China-Republic of China commemorative coin , And bring the original light.

Although the price of this game is not sky-high in the future, the Republican Signature Edition and the Flying Dragon Signature Edition are expensive.

Two years later, this kind of silver dollar was quite common-but at that time, most of the things I saw were imitations and fakes.

In 1987, this meeting was not highly imitated, and even newly-made fake silver dollars were basically absent on the market.

Take out a magnifying glass and take a closer look. It is absolutely original and genuine.

"It's a bit expensive, 50 yuan." Weng Yeming said.

According to the future appreciation space, it is better to buy official kiln porcelain, but Zhang Nan likes coins, so he didn't say much-silver dollars will always be silver dollars, there is no time when it is cheap!

Wrap it in cloth again, hand it to Guan Xingquan, and wrap it up with him.

There are many more porcelains: all the Qing dynasties are here, and even the rare Shunzhi official kiln porcelain has one, which is a small yellow-glazed dragon bowl.

When the Qing regime was first established, the wars in various regions had not yet subsided, and the porcelain production centered on Jingdezhen had weakened from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty even more decadent, and was once in a state of stagnation.

Shunzhi Nahui was still a waste of time, and it was still busy destroying Nanming. The Qing government had no time to care about the production of official kilns. Therefore, among the handed down porcelains of the Shunzhi period, those belonging to the official kiln are very rare, and there are few types. Only blue and white, colorful, yellow glaze, and purple egg skin are seen.

They were still busy fighting and killing people, and even the Man Qing emperor didn't even bother to ask for any good porcelain-the chair was still sitting unsteadily, and in the mood.

Because of this, most of the Shunzhi porcelains that have been handed down today are daily utensils and offerings made in folk kilns.

"Ye Ming, at the end of the Shunzhi dynasty for eighteen years, if you compare the few Shunzhi official kilns with a relatively large number of Kangxi official kilns, you can find that the two are very good in shape, glaze, ornamentation, and fonts. Similar. From this point, we can infer that most of the Shunzhi official kilns handed down should be in the late Shunzhi dynasty."

Putting this slightly ordinary yellow-glazed bowl in the box, Zhang Nan said again: “There are too few official kilns in Shunzhi, and there are not many people who like and know about it. Although it is rare, I feel that the future price will not even match. The official kiln porcelain of the Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties is a very strange phenomenon."

"Well, Brother Zhang, I only spent 10 yuan on this bowl, which is cheaper than a Qianlong bowl."

People in this meeting also seem to look down on the Shunzhi official kiln, which is really strange.

"Next time if you encounter Shunzhi official kiln porcelain, as long as it is not too broken, don't let it go."

"Okay, Brother Zhang."

Those large and small boxes are all official kiln porcelain, mainly from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, but they are all very exquisite, especially for ornamental vases.

After all, the "first three Qing" official kilns are few in number, and some are sold relatively few. Most of the official kiln porcelains here are also from the Tongzhi and Guangxu years.

Weng Yeming is quite reliable. He has a notebook and another ledger for records. In the notebook, he remembers "what you bought on a certain day, and the price for each."

The ledger is divided into categories according to the different attributes of antiques.

Those plates, bowls, bowls, and bowls are all threaded together, and Zhang Nan just looked at it roughly; the ornamental utensils were all carefully inspected, and they are all official kiln artifacts of the modern era. Although not every piece can be regarded as an exquisite product, At least there is no imitation of the Republic of China.

In the end, Weng Yeming took out a flat paper box and opened the treasure and said, "Brother Zhang, this is a good thing, a blue and white lotus pattern plate in the official kiln of Xuande."

Zhang Nan picked it up and examined it carefully, and said as he watched: "Ye Ming, this bunch of lotus is an enduring traditional pattern on porcelain paintings since the Song Dynasty. It was used in Yaozhou kiln celadon in Song Dynasty and Yongle and Xuande official wares in Yuan and Ming dynasties. I can often see it in Shanghai, which means "a clean book"..."

This plate has a straight mouth, a lip edge, a circle foot, and a sand bottom. The heart is decorated with a bunch of lotus patterns, the inner and outer walls are painted with entwined flower patterns, and the inner and outer sides of the mouth are decorated with curly grass patterns and continuous back patterns.

The blue and white color is bright, the enamel is thick and smooth, and the unglazed part of the outsole is white and delicate. The decorative painting is relatively vivid and natural, and the painting is elegant at first glance.

Only Zhang Nan was talking in the house, and the others didn't make any noise: when a connoisseur looked at the utensils, the others would generally not bother. Even people who don't know how to do it generally don't speak--Zhang Nan's serious and dedicated appearance can infect people.

A few minutes later, Zhang Nan put down the plate and put a magnifying glass in his pocket.

"Bought at the price of Xuande porcelain?"

These words made Weng Yeming's heart chuckle, "Well, it cost 5oo yuan."

Zhang Nan grinned and said, "Ye Ming, you are out of sight."

Although Zhang Nan praised Weng Yeming for doing a good job, the last thing went wrong: RMB 50, which is Weng Yeming's salary for half a year!

Zhang Nan promised to give him 10% of the hard work. If this plate is a fake, Na Weng Ye Ming really doesn't know what to do.

"The old man from Pan Jiayuan who buys things shouldn't lie to me. He has so many things that he can't lie to me once. I have bought things for more than 30 yuan from him."

Antique dealers deceive people and slaughter customers will never target old customers, otherwise they would have bought 10,000 things from themselves a year, and they would earn four to five thousand. In the end, because I sold someone else's fake goods, I made a profit of 50%, but ended up breaking the business!

Seeing him a little anxious, Zhang Nan hurriedly said: "Don't worry~www.readwn.com~ Ye Ming, the person who sold your plate may not have seen the problem. I said you missed it, but I didn't say it was a fake. It should be an imitation of the official kiln of the Emperor Yongzheng or Qianlong years. It is not surprising that you and that person can’t see the official imitation official. I don’t blame you for your intentions. I don’t know how to do this business for a lifetime..."

Before, the two brothers and sisters could not wait for a penny to be split into two flowers. Although they are rich now, they are all Zhang Nan's money, which is not practical.

"Brother Zhang, I really didn't see any problem at the time. Can you tell me something? I'll go back and find that guy!"

Hearing what he said, Zhang Nan said: "Did you and the person explain in advance that if there is something wrong with the item, you can return it?"

"Well, as I said, that man is also an old capital. He patted his chest and said that this plate is definitely a genuine Xuande official kiln. If there is a problem, he swallowed it. Many practitioners have seen it."

"That's fine. I'll tell you what the problem is. Wait two days for you to return the money. But this plate is actually not bad. You can buy it for 30 yuan."

If there is no prior agreement, you can only admit that you are unlucky; but since the person said big things in public and they are still in the same circle, they have to spit out the money. (To be continued.)
