438 Identification

Gelgori blushed, as a senior appraiser, of course he knew about the Fabergé Easter eggs. In fact, the whereabouts of these eight easter eggs have always been a mystery in the collecting world. Some people say that these eight Fabergé eggs are pure fiction, and others say that these eight Fabergé eggs were stolen by the guards back then...... But no matter what kind of statement, there is no sufficient information to prove it, and the information obtained from the surviving Russian royal family and the descendants of Fabergé shows that the total number of easter eggs is indeed correct, but the price of the royal jewels that year was not high, and it is normal for people to secretly collect them, and this matter is also a mystery in the collecting world, but Gelgori definitely does not believe that it will be lost to the East, so he did not consider that aspect at all.

However, for collectors, they will never let go of any opportunity, even if the probability is not large, they always have to fight once, the so-called 'seeing is believing', and they don't dare to take a look, it is estimated that they will not want to collect any good things in this life, you must know that the story of picking up and missing treasures often happens in this seemingly unlikely opportunity, so Albert's tone has been slightly unhappy.

"Murong, this is Mr. Albert from the United Kingdom, their family has a lot of Chinese art, but there is a shortage of Western artworks, this time I want to see your Fabergé eggs and paintings. ”

After Lin Songxian knocked on Murong Xianxian's door, he introduced Albert to Murong Xianxian and winked at her.

What does Shenma mean?

Murong Xian was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what he had just introduced...... This person should have a large number of Chinese artifacts in her hands, and if she has the real thing in her hand, she might as well slash him hard.

"This is Mr. Gelgori, an experienced appraiser. Lin Songxian continued to introduce Murong Xianxian.

"Oh, beautiful young lady, nice to meet you!"

Albert greeted Murong Xianxian in Chinese very friendly, as a British aristocrat who had been trained in traditional British etiquette and had a good understanding of Eastern culture, he knew very well how to deal with Chinese, and did not ignore Murong Xianxian because of his youth.

"Hello, Mr. Albert, please inside. ”

Murong Xianxian politely invited everyone into the room, and after everyone was seated, she directly took out the two paintings...... The first of these two paintings, "The Farmer" and the second "Cornfield", both of which bear his autograph, and although the names of these two works have never been circulated in the collecting world, she believes that if you are truly familiar with Van Gogh's works, you can tell the real from the fake.

"Gelgory, you better come. ”

Although Albert himself is only a collection price, his appreciation of the paintings is much higher than that of Murong Xianxian, but in the same way, he is not as good as the professional appraiser next to him when it comes to authenticity, so he got up and sat next to him, making way for Gelgori.

"Wait!"

Just as Gelgori was about to pick up the oil painting in front of him, he was suddenly stopped by Lin Songxian.

"Why, just said it was true, and now you won't even let us see it?" Gelgao looked at Lin Songxian and Murong Xianxian with disdain, he didn't believe that these two Chinese would have real Van Gogh paintings, and they were two works that were not known at all, which was completely impossible.

"Mr. Gelgori, I believe that when you were studying appraisal, your teacher should have taught you that you should wear gloves when appraising calligraphy and painting works, right?

Lin Songxian looked at Gelgoli with disdain.

Gelgori's old face changed color again, because he thought in his heart that this could not really be Van Gogh's work, so he subconsciously did not follow the normal rules, but no matter what the reason, once this matter spread, it would become an indelible stain on his career, so he quickly got up and apologized.

Albert is also a little embarrassed for this kind of low-level mistake, after all, this person was brought by him, if something really happens, the compensation is small, but if you lose face, it will be out of control. However, seeing Gelgori's sincere apology, his face was much better.

"Please go ahead. "Murong Xianxian really didn't pay attention to this, but the appraiser was a little arrogant from the beginning, and he didn't object to giving him a dismount.

After arching a mouthful of mud, Gelgori's aura weakened a lot, and he hurriedly opened the bag he was carrying, took out a pair of white gloves and a magnifying glass, cut off the gloves, and picked up the "Farmer" casually.

"Looks like a pretty good ......"

In the antique shop, Murong Xianxian is not very good, but he is temporarily clinging, but he also knows the true order of identification. To identify the authenticity of an oil painting, we must first check its materials, such as canvas, glue, oil, paint, etc., and then the painting method and style.

After the initial examination, the originally relaxed expression on Gelgori's face became a little solemn...... Van Gogh's paintings, he has handled more than once, and he found that the wound on his hand, in terms of materials, should be consistent with the era in which Van Gogh lived. As a senior appraiser, he has absolute confidence in his own strength. That is, even if the painting is a fake, those are fakes that are quite old, and the cost will not be low. You know, if you buy something a century ago, it's not expensive for ordinary people to afford.

Albert seemed indifferent on the sidelines, chatting with Murong Xianxian about some Chinese porcelain, but his eyes swept over the oil paintings and Gorgori's face more than once, as a veteran antique collector and art dealer, he had a feeling that maybe today he could really see two authentic paintings of Van Gogh that had never appeared in front of the world...... Of course, it's just a feeling for him, but sometimes it feels really weird and the closest thing to the truth.

"Yes, this is the real Van Gogh!" Gelgory looked a little excited as he had finished appraising the first painting.

"Oh, are you sure?" asked Albert.

"Definitely. ”

Gelgori nodded: "You can't be wrong, he was the most passionate and lyrical painter of his time! The form and the face have an astonishing poetry, and he feels that there is a mysterious sublimation in the life of nature, and he wants to capture it. This qiē meant to him a fanatical and sweet enigma, and he hoped that his art would convey to humanity the enthusiasm that engulfed it. He does not focus on the representation of objective objects, but on the expression of how things feel.

Van Gogh believed that color is not to achieve local truth, but to reveal a certain passion. You see, in this painting, the contrast of rich and loud colors has reached its limit, and his passionate whirling and pulsating brushstrokes make his wheat fields, cypress trees, and sunny skies rise and vibrate like flames, and shake the viewer's heart. In his paintings, strong emotions are completely dissolved in a symphony of colors and brushstrokes. ”

Gel Goli said with his hands and dances, like an orator who has reached the limit, he carefully put down the painting, and then turned to Murong Xianxian and said: "This is indeed Mr. Van Gogh's painting, Miss Murong One, I want to know the origin of this painting, I hope you can tell me." ”

"I'm sorry, I can only tell you that there is absolutely no problem with the origin of these things, and as for the rest, you don't need to know, your job is to tell Mr. Albert whether they are real or fake after looking at these paintings. ”

For Gelgori's mood, Murong Xianxian can still understand, although it is difficult to identify an antique, but this is also the interest of those appraisers, and in addition to identifying the authenticity of the items, he is more interested in the hidden stories behind these antiques.

However, it was impossible for her to tell the true origin of any of these objects - she could not tell her that she had destroyed a vampire and looted his castle.

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous. Gel Gaoli bowed and hurriedly apologized to Murong Xianxian.

"It's okay, please continue. Murong Xian nodded slightly.

Of course, the second painting is no problem, Murong Xianxian didn't think that there would be any problems with these two paintings, those vampires will never collect some fakes, even if they rob major museums when necessary, they will not collect a fake.

"I heard that Miss Murong still has Fabergé Easter eggs?" Albert asked, a little eager in his tone. After verifying the authenticity of those two paintings, he became more confident in the artwork that Murong Xianxian had taken out.

"Look!" Murong Xianxian had already found a brocade box to pack the easter egg, and after opening the lid, he pushed it to Albert.

"Very beautiful!"

As soon as he saw the Fabergé Easter egg, Albert's eyes almost fell into the easter egg, and Gelgori next to him was already waiting a little urgently, he didn't wait for Albert to finish appreciating the comparison, and had already taken the Fabergé Easter egg with some rudeness.

What Murong Xianxian took out was the first Fabergé Easter egg, and Gelgori certainly knew about it. Fabergé eggs are not necessarily made of the most expensive materials, but luxury and sophistication are its main features. When making zuò eggs, it was not Fabergé who made zuò by himself, but he gathered the country's famous craftsmen and jewels to make zuò eggs. Therefore, the Fabergé egg embodies the exquisite craftsmanship of the entire Russian nation, and it is also where its value lies.

Seeing Gel Gaoli gently put down the brocade box, Murong Xian Xian asked, "Mr. Gel Gaoli, do you have an answer?"

"This is indeed a real Fabergé egg, a holiday gift prepared by Tsar Alexander III of Russia in 1885 for his beloved wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna. Gelgori replied.
