Chapter 190: Dzi Settles, Pay Attention to the Paperweight
Everyone else seems to be extremely concerned about this set of dzi.
Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo also whispered a few words to each other.
Yu Yao shook his head slightly. He knew in his heart that many people bidding for dzi were actually the same as bidding for the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming.
Inviting the God of Wealth is to seek the psychology of making a fortune, and inviting the Dzi is to value the blessings of Buddhism and to ask for protection and safety. The focus is not on the value of antiques.
Pray for protection and safety, pray for blessings and good fortune, this is the psychology of the public, no problem. But nowadays, many people are constantly increasing their weight on external things, but they ignore their inner cultivation and daily actions.
is the so-called: I don't know why I light the lamp in my heart, and what scriptures do you read if you are not filial to your parents?
After the start of filming, as Yu Yao expected, the bidding was very fierce, and it exceeded five million in a few round-trips.
Yu Yao thought to himself that this would be even higher than the hammer price of the finale. The auction house does not take this group of dzi as the finale, and it is estimated that it cannot be completely determined to be pure, otherwise it will be regarded as the finale, and the starting price can be higher.
But even so, it has become a hot spot in miscellaneous auctions.
In the end, it reached 8 million, and there were fewer bidders. Rushing to nine million, there are only two people left.
At this time, Tan Xinning suddenly raised his card.
Ten million!
Yu Yao thought to himself, it turned out that they came for this group of dzi, and they were determined to get it.
In the end, only a man in his thirties was left to bid with Tan Xinning. This man Yu Yao has never seen it, his temperament is relatively creamy, and he doesn't look like a person in the antique circle. There is no bidding skills, after Tan Xinning added 10 million, he also added 1 million, to 11 million.
At this time, Tan Xinning began to grind with him, no matter how much he added, he only followed 100,000, and the bidding was very slow, and it was only added when the auctioneer shouted "the first time".
When it came to thirteen million, the man suddenly increased by two million to fifteen million.
Tan Xinning still only added 100,000, 15.1 million.
The man was silent for a moment, adding to fifteen,800,000.
This time, Tan Xinning added 200,000 to make up 16 million.
In the end, when the auctioneer shouted "the third time", the man actually threw away the number plate and left the table!
Tan Xinning's face was disdainful, and everyone looked sideways.
Sixteen million, this set of dzi dust settled.
"I didn't expect her to be so rich!" Yu Yaoxin said, she was able to break the dragon shape at once, and her eyesight was good, and it looked like she had seen a lot of good things. When the foundation is laid, and then the money is piled up, the eyesight can naturally improve quickly.
After winning the dzi auction, Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo did not leave. However, many people have also left. At this time, there were less than ten people left in the auction hall.
The auctioneer's face was a little embarrassed, the finale lot had not yet been sold! But there was no way, the auction had to continue.
The finale is a copper-gilt multi-treasure divine animal fragrance.
The main body of the aromatherapy is the copper tire gilt, the beast opens its mouth high, full of domineering; the mouth of the bottle is opened on the back of the beast, and the carcass process is very exquisite.
At the same time, the beast god is inlaid with a variety of jade gemstones, including red agate, turquoise, lapis lazuli, white jade, jasper, sapphire, tourmaline, etc., showing a body of jewelry.
This diffuser opens the door. Yu Yao only looked at the pictures, and didn't even need to look at the model, he knew that it was the court fragrance of the Qianlong Dynasty.
Using it as a finale lot, it is indeed enough.
Incense has a long history in China, and there are also a variety of incense utensils, such as the famous Boshan furnace in the Han Dynasty. In the earliest days, aromatherapy was generally bronze, mainly utilitarian. After the Han Dynasty, the aromatherapy incense burner gradually added the functions of ornamental and ornamental utensils to the practical utensils.
The Qing Dynasty was a prosperous period of aromatherapy production, and the main hall, study, and dormitory of the Forbidden City all had aromatherapy furnishings.
Animal-shaped aromatherapy is a typical and important classification in aromatherapy, such as unicorns, foxes, etc., incense in the body, cigarettes wafting out of the mouth, divine beasts offer Rui, and the meaning is auspicious.
The starting price of this copper-gilt multi-treasure divine beast fragrance is higher than that group of dzis, five million.
Yu Yao thought about it, the market price of this fragrance can reach seven or eight million, and the starting price is so high, it is estimated that it has something to do with the fact that there is no reserve price.
Good stuff is good stuff, and although there were less than ten people left, there were still four or five people who participated in the bidding.
It's just nowhere near as intense as the dzi. The final transaction price did not exceed Yu Yao's thoughts, and when it reached eight million, after someone added an additional 100,000, eight million and 1,100,000 were sold.
That's just over half the price of the dzi.
After the hammer of this divine beast incense fell, some more people left, and in the end, only four people remained.
Yu Yao is one, Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo are two. There is also a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, in his forties and less than fifty, with a neat hairstyle and a cleanly shaved beard, looking calm and relaxed. This person seems to have never made a move, more like a spectator.
However, his eyes seemed to be paying attention to Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo from time to time.
The last lot is a paperweight in the shape of a guqin of red sandalwood.
The paperweight is used to press the paper when writing and painting, and it can also be called a paperweight. At first, the shape of the paperweight was irregular, and later because it was mostly long, it was called a weight.
Paperweights are similar to arm rests, they are stationery supplies other than pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and they are also conducive to playing.
This red sandalwood guqin paperweight is something in the late Qing Dynasty and even the early Republic of China.
The reason why it is not put in the furniture and woodware yard is that it is a practical tool for the study, and secondly, there is a process of copper inlay on it.
This paperweight is small, 24 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide at the widest point, is a piece of rosewood made of guqin shape, the bottom surface is naturally flat, the upward side is slightly arc, the top is inlaid with copper wire seven strings, the outside of the strings, but also with a round copper sheet inlaid with nine tone emblems (the piano for the strings to recognize the sign).
The starting price of this red sandalwood guqin paperweight is 30,000 yuan.
At the same time, there is no reserve price set.
In fact, there is no need to set a reserve price, because there is no money for this paperweight, and it can only be roughly judged to be something in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, mainly because of the price of materials and conventional craftsmanship.
The market price is between 30,000 and 50,000.
After the filming started, the middle-aged man in his forties and fifties was still calm and relaxed, and he had no intention of making a move.
And Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo seemed to have exchanged two sentences in a low voice, and they didn't mean to make a move.
When Yu Yao looked through the auction catalogue, he only glanced at this red sandalwood guqin paperweight in a hurry, and he didn't take it too seriously.
Now, the image on the big screen is very clear, Yu Yao paid attention to it, but found a point that he hadn't noticed before!
Because when he looked at the auction catalogue, he only scanned the name and the main picture on the front, and did not pay attention to the small partial picture. But on the big screen, the partial image is also zoomed in.
