Chapter 532: Magical Skill
This is certainly a good thing!
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a plate made by the Grand Master of the Jin Kingdom for his wife Zhong Jiang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan stepped forward and looked at the plate carefully, and then asked, "How can there be the logo of the Jin Kingdom on this?"
Guan Boss is no longer a junior brother to antiques, and he understands that if he wants to judge the provenance of this artifact based on those dozens of inscriptions alone, it is either blind guessing, or this Ah Nan knows something before.
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "The master in the inscription should be the Taishi, and the glory is the best minister." The pattern of this plate is a bit similar to the pattern of some unearthed cultural relics that have been unearthed in Jin Province, and these gold inscriptions are also in the style of the early Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The most important thing is this Zhong Jiang, I remember that there seems to be an archaeological paper that has verified this woman, she seems to be also called Rui Jiang, and her husband is a Jin State Taishi. ”
Guan Xingquan didn't ask what the article was, it was unnecessary, in fact, even if he asked Zhang Nan, he couldn't answer: I forgot.
Since there is a source, then eight - nine is not far from ten.
The most distinctive feature of this "Zizhong ginger plate" is that the eleven small animals that can rotate in the plane in the plate are strangely conceived, which provides an important physical example for the progress of bronze casting technology in the early Spring and Autumn Period of China from an archaeological point of view.
This will Zhang Nan looked carefully at the copper plate on the mahogany table, and said after a long time: "Very amazing skill, this plate should use the sub-casting technology, but to embed the small bottom axis of these animals in the bottom layer of the plate, and to ensure that it is not stuck, so that each animal rotates 360 degrees, it is difficult!"
As he spoke, he turned around the 11 small animals on it, and they were all quite flexible. When he asked the antique dealer to bring a small bucket of water and carefully pour it into the copper basin, under the impact of the water, the 11 small animals all rotated at different speeds.
It's fun, that Zhong Jiang must have liked this gift from her husband very much: not only expensive, but also fun.
Pour out the water, wipe dry, 11 small animals at the bottom of the copper plate connection also no water out, very exquisite craftsmanship, ingenious ideas!
Zhang Nan had to sigh: "It stands to reason that in order to achieve such an effect, when pouring the copper liquid, the place where the disc and the shaft are in contact should only be able to accommodate a very thin layer of mud, and it is too difficult to keep the mud from falling off and the bottom of the plate not to leak when the copper liquid is cast at high temperature!"
The casting skills are superb, very superb!"
But the question arises again: is it really the bottom shaft connected to the small animal and embedded in the plate?
If the bottom shaft is embedded in the disc, there must be a gap between the bottom axle and the disc, and the water in the disc will flow into the interlayer of the chassis, which is difficult to flow out.
The bottom shaft is embedded in the plate, and there must be a sandwich in the chassis; to do the sandwich, the easiest way is to weld the two sides, but Zhang Nan turned over and over for a long time, and did not find any welding traces on the plate.
So, weird!
Well, many of the legendary skills of the Chinese ancestors have disappeared into the long river of history, including this "welding technology that should exist on copper plates".
Zhang Nan had seen a friend in his previous life who owned the bronze beans of the early Warring States period of the Chu State, in fact, there was a similar problem: from the inner wall of the upper bowl, there were a large patch of welding marks made up for later, and the corrugated traces of the bronze melting were fifty or sixty square centimeters, which may have been a problem with the mold during the first casting.
However, because it was not easy to make the mold of the whole body of the dragon, the craftsmen did not completely rework, but repaired the defective part.
But from the outside, there is not the slightest trace of back-up at all!
The pattern of the dragon is extremely smooth, and there is no trace of polishing, which makes people really can't figure out how the original craftsman operated!
It didn't take long for Jin Wenbo to come back, and the payment had been handed over to that Chen Fang, and there were still some goods in Boss Ma's store here, but either the price was high or it didn't mean much to Zhang Nan.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were dozens of pieces of official kiln porcelain, but it was not a fine product; there were more porcelain porcelain, and it was a lively sight: this kind of magnetic, since he copied the cultural relics store in Shanghai and the Beijing glaze factory several times, Zhang Nan has not raised any interest.
In terms of the number of magnetic products in the private collection of Qing Dynasty official kilns, this will already be the world's first!
Not to mention that there is also a Weng Yeming who will occupy Panjiayuan, by the way, staring at the Liulichang and the entire antique circle in the capital, although the price of fine antiques there has been raised to a certain extent, but he can continue to expand the already exaggerated treasure trove for himself.
Now there is a saying in the circle of the capital: If you want to sell good goods at a good price, look for Weng Ye!
is a master at a young age, this is because the masters of the capital in the circle pay attention to: the wealth is thick and the background is hard, there are people behind the backer, the work is bold and the price is fair, and the family lives in the former Qing Baylor Mansion, a proper master!
In the future, no one will be able to dominate the high-end antique acquisition channels in the capital alone, and neither can the immortals, but at present, no one can compete with Weng Yeming in the past two years.
People have more money that can kill people, and they are so hard that armor-piercing bullets can't penetrate them, so they don't have to buy and sell by force, and spending money can make any opponent retreat.
However, it is also known in the Beijing circle that Weng Ye does not accept ancient goods, at most there are acquaintances to introduce him, and he will hinder his face to see the boutiques, but he will definitely not meet with the owner.
Weng Ye looks at the goods that is to see a lively, and the delivery person has to do this kind of useless work for this set of friendship, but the owner will not ship the goods to others within three days, just waiting for someone to come to buy.
If no one comes to the door after three days, then you can find another way to do it in the capital.
Why three days?
If you are in a hurry to find a buyer within three days, then wait for bad luck!
The circle is tacitly understood, anyway, Master Weng will not accept high-altitude ancient goods, let alone sell a little antique.
It doesn't matter which dynasty or what variety, I see that I don't spit it out when I buy it, and I send it to the south by truck every once in a while.
It's not smuggling, smuggling doesn't play like this, everyone knows that things are sent to the treasury of a super boss in Jiangnan. According to Weng Ye, that person likes antiques, and may open a super-large private museum in the future.
......
Here put away the early Spring and Autumn bronze plate and the late Shang Dynasty bronze Yi, Boss Ma promised to contact friends in the circle today and tomorrow to see if he could get another batch of good goods to send to Zhang Nan.
Leave the number of the Peninsula Hotel and say goodbye.
Too lazy to go shopping again, it's simple and difficult, and the owner of the antique shop here and the master of Zhangyan are not good mallets, how can there be so many leaks to pick up.
Anyway, it's all the price, this family is looking for it, and for example, let Boss Ma contact him, anyway, he also knows his hobbies.
Other aspects of Xiangjiang antiques were thrown off eight streets by the capital, but there were many smuggled goods, especially bronzes, and the boutique Ma boss would try his best to get them for himself.
According to the rules, the owner will give him a commission, and it is a big business to make a few deals!
Boss Ma is absolutely positive.
As soon as he went out, Chariz Theron knew that he would not go to the antique store anymore, so he asked, "Are you going back to the hotel?"
She hasn't had enough of it.
"No, I'm going to buy you something. ”
Xiao Nizi immediately smiled.
Before getting into the car, Zhang Nan told the Peninsula hotel driver who led the car: "Go to Jingfu Clocks." ”
King Fook Gold & Silver Jewellery & Watches Co., Ltd., a professional company listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year, distributes Patek Philippe watches, the most famous of which is Patek Philippe watches.
It is not a Patek Philippe store, it is a watch store, and the Xiangjiang store here is not popular.
A watch store is a retailer that sells multiple brands, while a specialty store is a brand franchise store, in fact, many specialty stores in Heung Kong are affiliated with watch stores.
Some customers will ask for a well-known watch shop and find it reliable, and King Fook Watch is almost synonymous with reliability in the Hong Kong watch industry.
noticed that the watch that little Charlie was wearing was a very ordinary watch, so ordinary that Zhang Nan had never heard of this brand at all, it was an ordinary student's timer, and the price was less than $100.
Nicole didn't pay attention to her watch, and she didn't notice it when she was shopping in New York.
Zhang Nan will notice this, and simply take her to buy one.
As for the brand, I would be wearing a Patek Philippe 1928 white gold monobutton chronograph, and it seems that this brand is also quite worthy of little Charlie.
