Chapter 384: Removing the Red Treasure Box
In a general auction, even if something is auctioned, it is usually settled after the whole auction process is over, and then you can get your own thing.
But the auction here is different, as soon as the auction is completed, there are already staff members who come to deal with the matter at hand and deliver the treasure to the bidders.
After Hu Yang got the box, he first looked at the medals inside, and the craftsmanship was very typical of the Greek style.
"This process is not as good as Yuan Datou. Populus couldn't help but complain.
You know, Greece is one of the birthplaces of Western art, and it was once brilliant. But the casting of this medal is really rough, and it is not possible to lack funds.
Although art is a bit vulgar to be measured by money, art without money does not seem to be able to become a climate.
Typically, the reason why the artistic and cultural development of the Ming Dynasty can reach a peak is that it is supported by the emperor and the treasury, and it is invested almost regardless of the cost, so that the Qing Dynasty can not imitate the art of art.
"How much is it worth?" Lin Shaofen asked.
Populus euphratica is not too clear about this, and thought about it: "Olympic medals, as a kind of personal ease, are rarely put up for auction, so there is no reference."
I have heard before that in order to pay off his debts, an athlete in Germany auctioned three medals, one silver and two bronze, totaling more than 500,000 yuan.
This one, how to say that it is also a champion's medal, plus it is the first Olympic Games, the commemorative significance is a little bigger, it should be a little higher, let's estimate it at 1 million yuan!"
If there is no box, I am afraid that this medal alone will be a loss. After all, it cost 210,000 US dollars, more than 1.5 million yuan!
"Where's this box, made of mahogany?" Zhang Qingliang asked.
Everyone was curious that Brother Hu actually paid $210,000 for this box. According to Brother Hu's character, everyone can roughly guess that the value of this box is probably more than 210,000 US dollars, right?
"It's lacquerware, and as I've mentioned to you before, it's also called red. ”
Hu Yang explained to everyone that in the Chinese lacquer process, the production process of red products can be said to be the most, the production cycle is also the longest, and the artistic expression is the most prominent.
The carved lacquer color is mainly vermilion, bright red and gorgeous, festive, and the Chinese emperors used it to decorate the court's routine. Historically, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty and Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, all loved to pick red, and the process of removing red also developed by leaps and bounds in these three dynasties. Yongle Dite built a lacquerware workshop in Beijing Orchard Factory, and moved the center of the red craft from the south to the north, so that the art of red picking reached its historical peak.
This technique matured in the Song and Yuan dynasties and developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its method is often to wood ash, metal as the fetus, in the fetal bone on the layer of vermilion lacquer, less than eighty or ninety layers, as many as one or two hundred layers, to a considerable thickness, when the semi-dry to draw the draft, and then carve out the relief pattern. Generally, the brocade pattern is the ground, and the pattern is hidden, gorgeous and rich.
Therefore, red pieces are usually not cheap, and in ancient times, this was considered a luxury. In the current auction market, a beautiful red work can be auctioned for millions, or even more than 10 million. ”
After speaking, Hu Yang looked at the red box in front of him, the three lions on the top of the lid danced, teasing the hydrangea, the image was vivid and lively, and the carving was fine, showing the skillful carving and lacquer skills in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The top and side walls are surrounded by entwined lotus patterns and beaded patterns.
Hu Yang continued: "This is the lion taming treasure box. ”
Then turn it over, at the bottom of the box, you can see the "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".
"The treasure box of the Qing Dynasty is very valuable, isn't it? Poor gringos, who don't know the value of this box at all, actually used it to hold a broken medal, and they are sorry to make it. Andy couldn't help but complain.
"It shouldn't be a fake, right?" asked Lin Shaofen cautiously.
What is the "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", these can be made later, is it really a Qing Dynasty treasure box, it's hard to say, right?
"Looking at the pulp, it should be true. Hu Yang smiled.
No matter how clever the technique of making a red piece of red ware is old, the feeling of patent leather is definitely different.
Even if the genuine product is well maintained, hundreds or thousands of years of air oxidation and smoky fire will still leave a layer of slurry on the surface, while the paste made of oxalic acid is slippery and impetuous, and you can even see bright red paint under a magnifying glass.
"You can also look at the bottom tire, most of the pseudo-red nowadays use polyester and ethylene as the tire, which was impossible in ancient times. ”
There may also be people who look at the style, but in fact, most of the red removal is not available, including the "paint" of the Qing Palace Office. There are two categories of knowledge, before the year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, it was at the bottom of the red device to draw out the money, which is called "needle stroke"; after Xuande, the year number of the regular script was engraved with a knife, and then the gold was filled, which was called "filling the gold money".
The box in front of me is the latter.
"The craftsmanship of this lion taming treasure box is very high, it should be produced by the palace, and if we auction it in China, we can auction it at least three million!"
After listening to this, everyone really didn't know what to say. Take a box of more than 3 million yuan and go to hold a medal of about 1 million, it can only be said that those foreigners have no eyes.
At this time, the number of online viewers in the poplar live broadcast room has exceeded two million in history.
Such a popular live broadcast room is rare on their platform, and it is usually a celebrity to start broadcasting, which is so lively.
It can be said that Hu Yang's live broadcast room has reached the level of a star.
During this period, all kinds of gifts have not stopped, and no one has counted how many gifts they have received, but judging from the top five fans of this live broadcast, the top five have all consumed more than 800,000.
The highest is undoubtedly Brother Hu's number one fan - after the rain and the sunny day, this game has almost 3 million.
That chick, Hu Yang said that she had done her a few times, and she still went her own way, so she didn't pay attention to it anymore. Hu Yang thought to himself, when will they meet, and then find a way to make up for others from other aspects in the future.
Although no one knows what the origin of this chick is, but people have swiped nearly 10 million yuan here with Brother Hu before and after, and she is definitely a super rich second generation, right?
Sometimes, even Jiangnan doesn't want to fight with this female madman. When a woman spends money, the sky is falling apart, and it makes people tremble.
As the auction progresses, it will soon come to an end, and the finale will appear, and everyone is looking forward to it.
Before this, Hu Yang had received a message from President Fang, which had approved 150 million, if it was genuine, please ask Hu Yang to bring back the first landscape painting masterpiece of the Southern Song Dynasty - "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll".
In fact, 150 million is not insured, and Populus himself is clear.
However, the leaders above felt that it was a treasure of unknown origin, and the price should be limited.
