The stall owner took out a leather bag, and inside it was wrapped in two pieces of newspaper, which looked about the same size. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Nan took one, in the night market of this Nanyang stall, there will not be so many rules of "porcelain is not handy".

As soon as he opened it, "Oh, yes, Tang octagonal rhombic glasses." ”

As he spoke, he took out his flashlight, turned it on and looked at it carefully.

The back and sides of the stall are surrounded by curtains, and Guan Xingquan and the stall owner in front are sideways, and the people outside can't see what Zhang Nan is looking at at at all.

This octagonal diamond-shaped bronze mirror has a diameter of 223 cm, and is round and round inside.

With the button as the center, four peonies form a flower-shaped button base, and the button is surrounded by unicorns, heavenly horses, phoenixes, and luanbirds, which are decorated with four folded branch flowers, with leaves, blooming flowers.

The mirror was shining brightly, and Zhang Nan scraped a small amount of patina on his head with his fingernails, and found that the green embroidery was very strong and not artificial.

This will imitate the bronze mirror already exists, but the ornamentation and aging are still very naïve, belonging to the kindergarten stage.

The copper mirror is held on the finger, the finger knocks on the edge, the sound is good, and the mirror body should have no cracks or dark wounds.

When the stall owner heard Zhang Nan's words, coupled with the professional-level action, he smiled and said: "That is, the boss is an expert, how can the things we take out be bad! ”

Zhang Nan smiled, put the rhombic glasses in a pack of newspapers, and put them aside.

I took another paper bag and opened it.

"The boss has a good thing. ”

If you talk nonsense in front of connoisseurs, it is a drop price, and people will not sell it to you. Everyone understands the trade, and only then can we finally negotiate a reasonable transaction price.

"That's it, we won't take out those little guys, we spent a lot of money to buy these two bronze mirrors. ”

Little guy, small size, low-grade bronze mirror.

The stall owner said proudly.

is also proud of the stall owner, these two bronze mirrors are really good!

Zhang Nan is holding a divine beast mirror in his hand, with a diameter of at least 25 cm, and it is very likely to be from the Tang Dynasty.

If the stall owner of these two bronze mirrors was bought from the same person, it is very likely that they came from a tomb of a husband and wife in the Tang Dynasty that is not too small, and it should also be an official tomb.

In the ancients, not only women would use mirrors to accompany the burial, men needed to be properly dressed, and there were generally bronze mirrors in the tombs.

Besides, the people who had the strength to build brick tombs were either landlords or officials, and there were bronze mirrors to accompany the burials.

Zhang Nan checked carefully, and even asked the stall owner to take a 5x magnifying glass to take a closer look, there were such toys on every stall in the night market.

Customers should see clearly, if you don't give people a magnifying glass, the business will have to run if you are not careful.

This mythical beast mirror is round, round button, round button seat, the two Rui beasts contain each other's tails around the button base, and its outer hexagonal double line concave grid.

The inner area is decorated with six rui beasts, separated by a double-line concave grid, and there is a circle of text in the outer area, but Zhang Nan did not recognize it for the time being.

The outer ring is decorated with the 12 zodiac patterns, and there is a circle of ornaments on the outermost edge, similar to the twig pattern, but there are differences.

The black oxide layer is thick, there is almost no patina, and even the mirror can still reflect the human figure!

"This divine beast mirror has a unique shape, complex ornamentation, excellent production, extremely exquisite! rare, very rare! good thing!" Zhang Nan already liked these two bronze mirrors in his heart.

In particular, the mirror of the divine beast in his hand is definitely the top color in the Tang mirror, and these two bronze mirrors should be cast in the official workshop of the Tang Dynasty, with exquisite craftsmanship!

"Boss, you have a good flashlight. ”

Zhang Nan didn't speak, just watched. The stall owner has never seen this kind of flashlight in Zhang Nan's hand, small, the light is not as red as the "three-section flashlight" that can be bought, nor is it as white and dazzling as those rarely seen strong flashlights, and it is like looking at the goods in broad daylight under the light, so I can't help but say.

"It's ok, a friend sent it. ”

I didn't want to say more: this flashlight is an imported product, and the color temperature of the light is about 5300K, which is about the same as the color temperature of the sun at noon.

Seeing things, especially porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, etc., generally needs to be seen in natural light, so that the color will not run (run, because of the color temperature of the light, the color is wrong. ）。

If it's in the room at night, it's at least under the fluorescent lamp.

Therefore, the antique trade is generally carried out during the day, and the final inspection must be close to the window, or even simply outdoors.

However, many transactions will be made at night, and the electric light is basically an incandescent lamp, so Zhang Nan prepared such a flashlight, and a friend from the electromechanical company helped him.

Zhang Nan put down the bronze mirror in his hand and asked, "What price?"

The stall owner pointed to the divine beast mirror: "500 on this side, 350 yuan on that side." ”

Zhang Nan smiled, "Boss, we are from Jiangnan, but don't treat us as Xiangjiang people, okay?"

It's too expensive!

It's not that Zhang Nan can't afford it, but although these two bronze mirrors are the best of the best, they will really not be worth the price!

In the mid-90s, antique dealers in Henan Province went to Jiangnan Province, and the copper mirrors that were generally passable were only one or two hundred, two or three hundred, and Zhang Nan, who was of the same grade as this divine beast mirror, had seen it twice, and it was about 1,000 yuan sold.

And then wages were four to five times what they are now.

"Then boss, you make an offer. ”

The stall owner was not annoyed, shouting prices all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground.

"I'll give you a real price, 250 yuan for this divine beast mirror and 150 for that side. ”

This will make the wages of workers in the national factories in Yu Province only sixty or seventy a month.

"That's too little, I'll have to lose money on this price!" the stall owner was unwilling.

"Boss, you took these two mirrors from Tufuzi, and they added up to 200 yuan and killed them. ”

Zhang Nan said very surely, who let him understand the market.

This is also caused by the market situation of today's hot bronze and low porcelain prices, Zhang Nan didn't use 200 yuan to find a Yongzheng official kiln blue and white dragon pattern plate.

By the 90s, the price of that big plate would have been much higher than these two copper mirrors.

But in the 21st century, it's hard to say, these two things are not easy to compare, there is a saying here, it depends on how you ship.

Antiques are like this, the price rises and falls with the changes of the times, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, except for Zhang Nan, no one knows what will happen in the future.

Such a good copper mirror is sold at this price?

That's the way it is, who said that tomb robbing will make a fortune?

A low-grade bronze mirror, this will cost a few yuan, a lot of ten or twenty! Zhang Nan had seen a few of them in other stalls just now, and they were sold in the jade pile.

Except for a very small number of gangs and gangs who can make a fortune, let alone in the 80s, even around 2010, many Tufuzi are just mixed with food and clothing.

20 years later, Zhang Nan knows that there are a few familiar Tufuzi, who have dug dozens of ancient tombs in a few years, but they are still struggling with food and clothing, mixing hard, and earning 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year.

Even if you are lucky enough to dig up good things, most of them are made by middlemen and shippers.

"This price is really not good, such a good thing will not be encountered once in a few years. The stall owner was still unwilling, but after thinking about it, he said, "You can take 500 yuan on both sides." ”

Zhang Nan felt that the stall owner was also a good businessman, and he probably refused to bargain anymore, so he arrived: "That's okay, make a friend, it's 500." ”

After speaking, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and pointed out 50 "Great Unity" cards to the stall owner. On the other side, Guan Xingquan took the two bronze mirrors out of the newspaper, rewrapped them in front of the two of them, and stuffed them into his bag.

Although it is a joke to drop the bag under Guan Xingquan's eyes, Zhang Nan has already explained to him the rules of money and goods in front of him and the rules of the inquest.
