106 Mr. Shaw is Mr. Shaw
This vase only needs to be dated, so it is relatively simple.
"Wang Dong, after the preliminary identification of the three of us, this vase should be a work of the ancient Roman period, that is to say, the production time is about the first century AD. It could be seen that the white-haired appraiser was very excited, and his voice was trembling.
"What did you say? You didn't make a mistake, right?" Wang Xiaoxian sat in place this time and didn't move, but his right hand pressed the heart hard, "The production age is really the first century AD!"
Hearing this appraisal conclusion, Lu Yahong was completely stunned, "This is really another Portland vase? How is this possible? It's unbelievable!"
"This identification result should be accurate, and the difficulty of dating is relatively small. With the help of modern scientific and technological means, such a test is very fast, and the final conclusion can be obtained soon. "Among the three works of art that have been identified, the white-haired appraiser is the most sure of the inspection conclusion of this vase.
Wang Xiaoxian and Lu Yahong's eyes both turned to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao said: "This gem-relief glass vase is indeed made in the ancient Roman period, that is, in the first century AD, and belongs to the same kind of artwork in the same period as the famous Portland vase. ”
"It's really a Portland vase! I'm so excited, so excited!" Wang Xiaoxian was originally an emotionally outgoing person, and under the guidance of excited emotions, he gave the three appraisers a warm hug.
The three appraisers were equally excited and gave him the same response.
For appraisers, it is naturally an incomparable honor to be able to personally identify a precious cultural relic that occupies an important position in the history of world cultural relics.
When everyone's mood calmed down, Lu Yahong said with emotion: "I'm convinced, Mr. Xiao is Mr. Xiao, just take out a collection of the top world-class cultural relics, and there will be a second Portland vase, which is really unexpected." ”
"There is still the last one that has not been identified, and the three appraisers have worked harder to quickly finish the appraisal of this last one, and I have a treat at noon to celebrate the official start of our first cooperation. Xiao Yao looked at his watch, it was already 11:00, and began to urge.
"This original bronze sculpture of a discus thrower is said to have been lost in history a long time ago, could this be Milon's original work?" With the appraisal results of the previous three works, Wang Xiaoxian no longer dared to question it casually.
"This bronze sculpture is very easy to identify, it only needs to be dated, and the three appraisers should be able to get the results soon, so you can wait patiently." Xiao Yao didn't want to interfere with the work of the three appraisers, and did not say the results.
Although the final appraisal results have not yet been obtained, Wang Xiaoxian and Lu Yahong are inclined to believe that this may be the original.
To be able to have this kind of thought, they are completely based on their trust in Xiao Yao, and after being shocked one after another, they think that Xiao Yao will not be able to come up with a replica.
Both of them were eager to know the final results, but they couldn't sit still in their chairs, so they simply stood up, walked to the sculpture, and looked at it carefully.
This bronze statue is about 1.7 meters high, and the statue is very well preserved, and there are not many rusts.
The statue of "The Discus Thrower" is Milo's world-famous masterpiece, in which Milon depicts the momentary movements of a competitor, vividly expressing the body of the discus thrower and the fitness and strength of his muscles.
The characters are intense and tense, and their facial expressions are calm and calm, but in this seemingly contradictory treatment, they achieve a subtle unity and harmony, expressing the high composure and confidence of the discus thrower.
He bent over and swung his arms back and upwards, this posture was the moment when the discus was about to be thrown out of his hand, it was at the moment when the movement was the most tense and energetic, as if an arrow was on the string, expressing the continuity of the movement.
The two of them looked at it and felt that this bronze statue seemed to be no different from the marble imitations in major modern museums, that is, the faint rust on the statue looked different, adding a bit of historical weight to the statue.
For professional appraisers, the dating of bronzes is not very complicated, and the three appraisers hold professional appraisal tools to do various appraisals very carefully.
When doing the appraisal, the three appraisers looked very serious, and did not show excitement because the statue was likely to be the original.
The expressions of the three appraisers were very attentive and methodical in doing various appraisals.
The time of this appraisal was the shortest, and it only took a quarter of an hour for the three appraisers to end the appraisal one after another and put away all the appraisal tools in their hands.
"How is it?, is this the original?" asked Wang Xiaoxian impatiently.
"Through various tests, we have concluded that the statue was made about 2,400 years ago, and we found Milon's signature on the back of the discus, from which we can conclude that this work is the work of Miron, which is the work of Milon from the ancient Greek period. When the white-haired appraiser said this, his gasp was so heavy that everyone could see his excitement.
"It's really Milon's original work! I feel like I'm dreaming now, this is too unreal, Da Vinci's real work, the second Portland vase, Milon's original work, actually appeared one after another, it seems that our Yiyun auction house is really going to make a sensation in the world!" Although he was mentally prepared, after learning the final result, Wang Xiaoxian still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Xiao Yao said: "Seeing that it is almost noon, let's finish the handover procedures first." ”
Wang Xiaoxian brought a lawyer over, and Xiao Yao also called Lawyer Jin over, the value of the four cultural relics to be handed over was too high, and neither side dared to be a little careless.
got 4 world-class artworks from Xiao Yao's hands, and Wang Xiaoxian no longer mentioned the matter of top-level jadeite.
On the contrary, Xiao Yao took the initiative to say: "When will the Kyoto autumn auction of Yiyun start? I have a lot of rare ancient books in my hands, some of which are commenting on all kinds of cultural toys in the past dynasties, many of these ancient books are unique books, and the content recorded in them has a very important reference role for the identification of cultural relics. I plan to auction this part of the rare books, and through publicity, the content of this part of the ancient books will be announced, which can be regarded as a little contribution to the identification of cultural relics. ”
