Chapter 793: A bunch of brain-dead and neurotic!
Anna Phillips chose a collection that would not have won the event, and the second piece she identified was a fitting fit for her gender: an early 19th-century European-style hand mirror, the kind that you can hold in your hand and take a picture of yourself, with a brass bezel, hand-carved and exquisitely crafted.
According to the estimation of museum researchers, the glass lens inlaid on it should be the original color, about 12 centimeters in diameter, and after nearly 200 years, it is still used to illuminate people.
None of this is the point, the focus is on the back of the mirror, where a small half-profile bust of Napoleon is sandwiched between a piece of clear glass.
The portrait is round, with a signature on the yellowed paper in the lower right corner, and the expert studied it for a while and said: "This painting is the work of Napoleon's favorite court painter Deira Lausey, and it is said that when he painted this kind of small portrait of the emperor, he used only a cat's hair with a pen, so Napoleon's portrait can be painted so delicately in such a small area." ”
And then, and more importantly, the circular portrait can be easily removed from the back of the mirror with a clear glass and brass bezel, and then a signature can be seen on the inside.
"Napoleon used many signatures in many ways and styles throughout his life, and this is the autograph he used to use in 1804-1805, absolutely no problem!"
As for why there is Napoleon's signature in the handmirror that women like to use, experts say that His Majesty the Emperor sometimes likes to give some small gifts with his own mark to the wives of subordinate generals to express his value for his subordinates.
Zhang Nan, who was on the side, listened to this, and complained in his heart: "I really don't understand how French men's brains grow, if there were emperors in ancient China who liked to do this, and the generals rebelled, we don't know, this guy will definitely be written in the history books as a scum among scum, a pervert among perverts, and a scum among scum!"
Give someone someone else's wife a portrait of herself, and sign it autographically, you are brain-dead!"
Romantic France, Zhang Nan can't understand it, and he can't understand it.
The treasure bearer is a woman, saying that this mirror is a gift from her previous boyfriend, and she will want to know how much this mirror can sell for, and want to exchange money for a trip.
Well, ex-boyfriend, the man's hope didn't cry and faint in the toilet.
sold a mirror signed by Napoleon to travel, and Zhang Nan instantly classified this blonde woman in her 30s as brain-dead.
Then, Zhang Nan found another one in the crowd, oh, a group of brain-dead!
One, referring to the experts: the estimate is $500, and the maximum price at auction is $800.
A group, that refers to everyone except himself, his brother-in-law, and a few bodyguards behind him!
Not only the other people in the hall, but even the vast majority of Americans, French, and N people in the Western world!
It's all 250, and the brain is deficient in calcium!
As for the evaluation of the mirror, the expert said: "This hand-signed mirror of Napoleon is very rare, and it can probably get such a good price."
Some of Napoleon's more important autographed letters that have survived today will cost a little more, but they will be between $500 and $1,000......"
Well, not a single expert said, even the other three experts on the scene also commented like this.
As for the treasure holder, he said stupidly: "Although it is a little less, you can save it and go on a vacation, and at most you will post two hundred dollars for yourself......"
The four experts were brain-dead, and the other treasure bearers in the hall heard that there was something Napoleon to join in.
Judging from the reaction of the people who eat melons, they seem to be very accepting that this mirror can be worth this price.
Who is Napoleon?
The First Emperor of France, a mirror meticulously painted by his court painter and signed by the Emperor himself was worth $500!
Oh no, and if you're lucky, it might be close to $800.
At this time, Zhang Nan estimated that the French court painter named Lausie and the emperor himself would have to faint in the toilet crying.
Could it be that 30,000 or 50,000 of such mirrors have survived?
The artist used a fully automatic assembly line computer to paint?
At this point, Zhang Nan said to Xia Mili who followed in Chinese: "Find a way to tell that expert, I have something to ask him, and I will wait for him in the lounge next door." ”
After saying that, I really don't want to be forced with a gang of two, otherwise I have to worry about my IQ.
Soon, the researcher was invited to the lounge, and Zhang Nan only asked him two questions: Is the mirror original, and is there a lot of it in existence?
"I can assure you that it was Napoleon's autograph and there was nothing wrong with the mirror. There are very few surviving in the world, and there are still many ...... in the world that can still be in such a state."
This expert is also a sincere person.
thanked the other party, Zhang Nan asked Xia Mili to send people away.
I was polite, but what I was thinking in my heart was: You can die!
I didn't go out for the time being, so I dialed a number on the mobile phone that Alyosha was carrying, and called the expert in modern European history that I hired.
The question is also very simple: why is the mirror of Napoleon Bonaparte the price of cabbage.
"Boss, Napoleon's stuff isn't much sought after, except for his saber class......"
Well, the guy he hired is also a brain-dead and takes it for granted!
The whole Western world is fucking brain-dead!
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Nan said to Xia Mili: "Go and tell Henry, let someone give that idiot woman 800 dollars, and I want the mirror." ”
Then, Zhang Nan couldn't help but say to Xiang Weirong, who was sitting diagonally opposite: "Brother-in-law, those guys are all fucking sick!"
A shaving cup made by a messy porcelain factory less than 100 years ago costs 20,000 dollars, and those large goods are worth thousands of dollars, and the mirror signed by Napoleon is only 500 yuan, and the painting was painted by his imperial court painter.
A hairy stroke, the painting can't be completed in a few days, what is this called the world!
The wages of small workers in the United States are higher than this, and Napoleon was a street sweeper?
it!
A bunch of psychos, faults, all - should be repaired in a mental hospital!"
I don't dare to say otherwise, in more than 20 years, if Zhang Nan has such a Napoleonic mirror in hand, even if he is dealing with second-rate collectors at most, no matter what the price is in the Western world, he can fool hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Absolutely, which rich second generation gives girlfriend, rich generation gives small-three Valentine's Day gifts, a 300,000 diamond ring?
Dick silk, no culture!
"My dear, this is a mirror signed by Napoleon, and the portrait was painted by his royal painter, and there are less than ten ...... in the world"
You always know who Napoleon was, right?
it, what a diamond ring, a sports car, all - stand aside!
Of course, the biggest possibility is not to sell it, and keep it for her daughter as a dowry.
