Chapter 1627: Please enter the urn
The collection of antique clocks and watches has a long history in Europe and the United States, and is a very important category of antique collection.
These antique timepieces are based on ancient technology, embody aesthetic artistic taste, express rich history and culture, and combine a variety of unique craftsmanship with unparalleled charm and irreproducible artistic value.
Before the twentieth century, antique clocks and watches were the exclusive favorites of the royal family and nobles, and they spared no expense in design, production and materials, and almost every antique clock was called a work of art.
To this day, these antique clocks and watches are still the darlings of the antique art market, and are enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors, and some sky-high antique clocks and watches will appear from time to time.
And this is the reason why Ye Tian chose the bronze gilt table clock in front of him.
Since you plan to pit people, then come and be ruthless, once pit a certain idiot to vomit blood, and when you see yourself in the future, you will be scared and tremble in your dreams!
In this way, it can also scare off the rest of the ill-intentioned idiots, and save those guys from following their ass all the time, which is annoying to watch!
Of course, this is bound to cheapen the antique stall owner in front of him for nothing, and let him make a lot of money! This is an unavoidable thing, and it can only be said that this guy is lucky to let him copy it!
The bronze gilt Siming Bell placed in front of Ye Tian's eyes is a typical Baroque art style, with complex shapes, extravagant and gorgeous, exquisite production, and exquisite ornamentation engraved throughout the body, which even looks a little exaggerated.
At the top of this clock, there is a gilt bronze angel with delicate and vivid figures, and the base and four Corinthian columns are also carved with some exquisite ornaments and patterns.
The clock is made of crystal glass on all four sides, and the dial is a painted white enamel plate with Arabic numerals, gilt and engraved needles, and a white enamel pendulum!
What's more, the dial of this gilt bronze table clock is engraved with the signature of a famous 19th-century watchmaker, which looks very realistic.
When he saw this grandfather clock for the first time, Ye Tian knew that this was a high-imitation copper gilt grandfather clock and a fake, but he still secretly sighed for the manufacturing process of this grandfather clock!
There is no doubt that this is a very good modern craft, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time!
If it had been made before the 20th century and had been made by hand, it would have been a valuable antique watch that has survived to this day!
Ye Tian pretended to be serious and thoroughly inspected the clock inside and out, and then raised his head to look at the antique stall owner, ready to ask about the price.
At this moment, his long-awaited voice finally came from the side.
"Steven, can you please see this grandfather clock as well? I love antiques of Baroque art, and I don't want to miss it!"
The speaker was a white man in his fifties, judging from the outfit on his body, he should have a bit of a family background, and the limited edition Audemars Piguet Millennium on his wrist alone was worth 70,000 or 80,000 euros.
Obviously, this is likely to be a rich man who came to Nice for a vacation, and came to the Place Sareal to treasure treasures, but he didn't expect to encounter such a lively scene, driven by greed, and also wanted to make some cheap.
There is also the possibility that this is an antique dealer, but this possibility is very small and almost non-existent.
Turning his head and seeing this person for the first time, Ye Tian judged his identity to be inseparable, and the results of the secret perspective also proved his judgment.
This is a rich German man who came to Nice for a vacation, and he is also an antique layman, who knows a little bit about the relevant antique knowledge and the rules of the industry!
Not only Ye Tian, but the antique stall owner also looked at the rich man, and quickly made a judgment, and a look of ecstasy immediately flashed in his eyes.
For him, the German tycoon who jumped out automatically in front of him is simply a fat sheep waiting to be killed, and he must not let it go!
As soon as the German tycoon's words fell, on the other side of Ye Tian, someone jumped out again.
"Mr. Steven, I'd love to see this baroque table clock, it really looks beautiful and exciting!"
The speaker was a Japanese man in his thirties and forties, and the most accurate judgment could be drawn from the awkward English accent and the 90-degree bow.
Needless to say, this is also a Japanese tourist who came to Nice and wanted to make a fortune.
As before, the antique stall owner's eyes flashed with ecstasy again, and he almost cheered.
At this time, he no longer hated Ye Tian for ruining his good deeds and letting the cooked duck fly from his mouth, but he began to secretly thank Ye Tian!
Of course, the premise is that this bronze gilt grandfather clock can be sold smoothly and at a good price.
Ye Tian looked at these two fools who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and then his face sank, and he said with a sneer:
"Gentlemen, you don't do this very authentically, do you? I am admiring and appraising this bronze gilt table clock, and I am about to ask for the price, and you are jumping out at this time to interrupt, it is not in accordance with the rules!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Steven, I'm not an antique insider, I don't understand your trading rules, so I'm presumptuous, but I do like this antique clock!"
The Japanese man said sincerely, bowing ninety degrees again, but his eyes flashed with greed.
As for the German tycoon, it was even more straightforward.
He walked directly to Ye Tian's side, looked down at the bronze gilt table clock, and then began to ask the stall owner for a price.
"Man, what is the price of this gilt table clock? As long as the price is right, I intend to accept this gilt antique clock."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese man also walked briskly, looked at the bronze gilt table clock, and then looked at the antique stall owner.
However, the antique stall owner did not immediately give an offer, but looked at Ye Tian to see what reaction he would give.
Ye Tian just smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, where would the stall owner wait, he immediately gave the price of the bronze gilt table clock.
"Gentlemen, the price of this gilt bronze grandfather clock is 150,000 euros, if you are all interested in this grandfather clock, then you can bid fairly, and the highest price wins!"
"I'll go, 150,000 euros, this guy really dares to open his teeth, and he is ruthless enough, he is a black-hearted guy!"
Ye Tian secretly complained a few words, almost not laughing.
After giving the offer, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes were full of expectation, and he was vaguely a little apprehensive.
Not only the stall owner, but everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian to see what reaction he would give, especially the German tycoon and the Japanese, who were staring at him closely.
Ye Tian glanced around the scene, then looked at the German tycoon and the Japanese, and said to the two fools:
"Gentlemen, I will not comment on this offer, but if you feel that it is worth the money, then you can bid fairly, and perhaps I will join the competition later.
If you don't want to be the first to bid, and want to wait for me to make the first move, and then you will follow up the bidding, then you are afraid that you will be disappointed, I will not be the first to bid, that is not my style.
If you withdraw, then you'd better not get involved again when I talk to this stall owner about the deal, which is not only authentic, but also despicable!"
The scene fell silent, and there was no sound.
The German tycoon, and the Japanese, were both stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while, whether they should be priced or not!
The rest of the people watched them, waiting for them to make a decision Chinese!
