The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

This is of course a good thing!

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the plate made by Jin Guotaishi for his wife Zhong Jiang. ?? To read the book?"

Hearing what Zhang Nan said, Guan Xingquan stepped forward and took a closer look at the plate, and then asked: "Where is the Jin country logo on this?"

Boss Guan is no longer a junior to antiques. He understands that he wants to judge the source of this artifact by relying on those dozens of inscriptions alone, either by guessing, or Anan knew something before.

Zhang Nan smiled, and said: "The master in the inscription should be the Taishi, and the honorable minister. The pattern on this plate is a bit similar to the patterns of some unearthed cultural relics in Jin Province, and these inscriptions are also from the early spring and autumn of Jin. style of.

The most important thing is this Zhong Jiang. I remember that this woman seems to have been verified in an archaeological paper. She seems to be also called Rui Jiang, and her husband is a great master of the Kingdom of Jin. "

Guan Xingquan didn't ask what the article was. It was unnecessary. In fact, even if he asked Zhang Nan, he couldn't answer it: I forgot.

Since there is a source, then eight-nine can't be wrong.

The most distinctive feature of this "Zizhong Jiang Pan" is the unique conception of the eleven small animals that can rotate on a plane. From an archaeological point of view, it provides an important physical example of the advancement of bronze casting technology in the early Chinese Spring and Autumn Period.

At this meeting, Zhang Nan took a close look at the copper plate on the mahogany table. After a long time, he said: "It's a magical technique. This plate should use the technique of split casting, but the small bottom shafts of these animals should be embedded in the bottom of the plate. And it must be vertical to ensure that it is not jammed, so that each animal can rotate 360 ​​degrees, it is difficult!"

Speaking of turning around the top 11 small animals, they are quite flexible. Let the antique dealer bring a small bucket of water and carefully pour it into the copper basin. Under the impact of the water, all 11 small animals turned at different speeds.

It's fun. That Zhong Jiang must really like the gift this husband gave her: it's not only expensive, but also fun.

Pour out the water and wipe it dry. There is no water flowing out from the bottom of the 11 small animals at the junction of the copper plate. Very exquisite craftsmanship and ingenious idea!

Zhang Nan had to sigh: "It is reasonable to achieve such an effect. When the copper liquid is poured in the co-fan, the place where the disc and the shaft contact should only be able to accommodate a very thin layer of mud. When the copper liquid is poured at high temperature, mud is required. It is too difficult for the material to not fall off and the bottom of the plate cannot leak!

The casting skills are superb, very superb! "

But the question arises again: Is the bottom shaft really attached to the small animal and embedded in the plate?

If the bottom shaft is embedded in the disk, there must be a gap between the bottom shaft and the disk, and the water in the disk will flow into the interlayer of the chassis, making it difficult to flow out. ? Want to read

If the bottom shaft is embedded in the tray, there must be an interlayer in the chassis; the easiest way to make an interlayer is to weld the two sides, but Zhang Nan looked over and over again for a long time, and did not find any welding traces on the top of the tray at all.

So, weird!

Well, many of the legendary skills of the Chinese ancestors have disappeared in the long river of history, including this "welding technique that should exist on the copper plate".

The early Warring States bronze beans owned by the friend Zhang Nan had seen in his last life actually had similar problems: from the inner wall of the upper bowl, there was a large patch of welding traces, and the corrugated traces of the melting of the bronze amounted to five or six. Ten square centimeters, there may be a problem with the mold during the first casting.

However, because the mold of the whole body Chilongwen is not easy to make, the craftsmen did not completely rework, but repaired the defective part.

But viewed from the outside, there is no trace of back-up at all!

The pattern of Chi Long Wen is extremely smooth, and there is no trace of polishing. People really can't figure out how the original craftsmen operated it!

It didn't take long for Jin Wenbo to return, and the payment had been paid to that Chen Fang. There are still some goods in Boss Ma's shop, but either the price is high or it doesn't mean much to Zhang Nan.

There are dozens of official kiln porcelains in the late Qing Dynasty, but they are not high-quality goods. There are more Guangzhou porcelains, so it’s a lively thing: this kind of porcelain has been copied several times in cultural relic shops in Shanghai and Beijing Liuli Factory. After that, Zhang Nan was no longer interested.

In terms of the number of private collections of Qing Dynasty official kiln ceramics, it has been the number one in the world since this meeting!

Not to mention that there is a Weng Yeming who will dominate the Panjiayuan this time. By the way, he will stare at the Liuli Factory and the antique circle of the entire capital. Although the price of fine antiques there has been raised to a certain extent, it has been able to continuously expand for itself. A treasure trove of already exaggerated collections.

Nowadays, there is a saying in the capital circle: if you have good goods and want to sell them at a good price, look for Lord Weng!

Young people are the masters, this is because the Beijing masters in the circle pay attention to: the wealth is strong and the backstage is hard, there are people behind them, there are people behind them, and the prices are fair, and the family lives in the former Qing Baylor Mansion, the proper master!

In the future, no one will be able to dominate the capital's high-end antique acquisition channels alone, nor will the gods, but at present, no one can compete with Weng Yeming in the past two years.

People have so much money to kill people, so hard that armor-piercing bullets can't penetrate them. You don't have to buy or sell, and you can spend money to make any opponent retreat.

However, everyone in the capital circle also knows that Mr. Weng does not accept ancient local goods. At most, he is introduced by acquaintances, which will hinder the face and look at the fine products, but he will definitely not meet the owner of the goods.

Lord Weng is watching the local goods, which means watching the excitement. The delivery person has to do this kind of useless work for this set of friendship, but the owner will not ship the goods to others within three days, and just wait for someone to come to buy it.

If no one comes to your door after three days, then you can find a way to make another shot in the capital.

Why is it three days?

If you are eager to find a buyer within three days, then wait for luck!

What's unspoken in the circle, anyway, Lord Weng doesn't accept ancient local goods, let alone sell any antiques.

Regardless of which dynasty or variety, I can only buy it but not spit it out, all of which are sent to the south in a truck after a period of time.

It's not smuggling. The smugglers didn't play that way. Everyone knew that things were sent to the warehouse of a super boss in Jiangnan. According to Weng Ye, that person likes antiques and may open a huge private museum in the future.

...

We have collected the bronze plates in the early Spring and Autumn Period and the bronze Yi in the late Shang Dynasty. Boss Ma promised to contact his friends in the circle today and tomorrow to see if he could get another batch of good goods to Zhang Nan.

Leave the phone number of the Peninsula Hotel and say goodbye.

I’m too lazy to go shopping anymore. It’s so simple and simple. The antique shop owner and Zhangyan master here are not great, how can there be so many leaks to pick it up~www.readwn.com~ Anyway, this shop is looking for it, or let Boss Ma went to contact him, he knew his hobbies anyway.

Xiangjiang antiques have been dumped eight streets by the capital in other aspects, but there are many smuggled local goods, especially bronzes. Among them, the boutique horse owners will try to get them for themselves.

According to the rules, the owner will give him a commission, and making a few transactions is a big business!

Boss Ma is absolutely positive.

After leaving the house, Charlize Theron already knew that he would not visit the antique shop next, so he asked: "Go back to the hotel?"

She hasn't played enough yet.

"No, I'll buy you something."

Xiao Nizi smiled immediately.

Before getting in the car, Zhang Nan told the driver of the Peninsula Hotel who led the car: "Go to Jingfu Clock."

Jingfu Gold, Silver, Jewellery and Watch Co., Ltd., a professional company that has been listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year, the most famous of its products is Patek Philippe watches.

It is not a Patek Philippe specialty store, but a watch shop. The Xiangjiang specialty store here is not popular.

The watch shop is a retailer that sells multiple brands, while the franchise store is a franchise store of one brand. In fact, in Xiangjiang, many specialty stores are affiliated to the watch shop.

Some customers will ask for well-known watch shops and think they are reliable, and Jingfu Watch is almost synonymous with reliability in the Hong Kong watch industry.

I noticed that the watch Xiao Charlie wore was a very ordinary watch. Zhang Nan had never heard of this brand at all. It was an ordinary student's timer, and the price was less than 100 US dollars.

Nicole didn't pay attention to watches, and didn't notice this when shopping in New York.

Zhang Nan would have noticed this, and just take her to buy one.

As for the brand, I am wearing a white gold single-button chronograph from Patek Philippe in 1928, and I think that this brand seems to be a good match for Charlie.
