Old man Hao didn't care if the people behind him would have nothing to say, he was embarrassed and cold, he considered that he had to say something, otherwise the name of the expert would be over.

So, ignoring the warning eyes of others, he talked lightly about the market demand for bone carving, the room for appreciation, and the current price.

Earlier, Xiao Zhao also mentioned that although the history of bone carving is long, due to the difficulty of bone carving preservation, and the low attention of collectors in previous dynasties, there are not many ancient bone carving collections preserved, and it is difficult to find them in the market. Therefore, the price of bone carving is still quite good, and if it is a high-quality product, hundreds of thousands are not a problem. Just right, you belong to the boutique of bone carving. ”

The audience at the scene applauded again, and the words were not finished, but everyone understood that the bone carving was worth hundreds of thousands, and Wang Jianzhong could be regarded as getting rich overnight, right?

In order to say a few more words, Old Man Hao even took out other bone carving works to talk about things.

"It's also a cuttlefish bone carving, and I've seen one more subtle than yours, which is a tower. ”

He described that the work is 55 centimeters high, hexagonal five-story pavilion style, the base platform of the tower is 5 centimeters high, there are seven steps, and 48 carved railings are installed at the front of the front with a height of 3 centimeters and a width of 2 centimeters, and the second platform is 3 or 5 centimeters high, with four steps, and there are also 18 carved railings with a height of 2 or 5 centimeters and a width of 2 centimeters around it.

In addition, the first floor of the tower is 7 or 5 centimeters high, and then it is closed layer by layer, until the fifth floor is 3 centimeters high, and the width of each floor is also adducted;

The carvings of railings, columns, doors and windows, cornices, etc. are very exquisite, and even the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the tower are carved one by one. The shape of the work is a combination of rigid and soft lines, upright, delicate and graceful, unique, and gives people a sense of beauty.

"Because of the volume limitation of the cuttlefish bone, it is impossible to make a large-scale overall original carving, can only divide the tower into a number of parts, combined with the size, thickness and length of the cuttlefish bone shape, according to the aptitude, skillfully use the round carving, sinking carving, relief, sawing and other skills, with a small carving knife to carve out a variety of patterns, shapes, and then piece, piece by piece to stack, stack, spell, embed, do not leave a trace, so that the viewer for the warp to refer to the wonderful. ”

"I remember that the work was estimated at more than 500,000 yuan. I think it's more reasonable for you to be between 300,000 and 400,000. Old man Hao said with a smile.

After speaking, he threw the topic to the next one, that is, the last Pang Zhonghua.

The market analyst on the other side had already greeted Old Man Hao's mother in his heart, and secretly scolded: "Fuck your mother! You finish our words, will we repeat your words in a while?"

And Pang Zhonghua also looked down on Old Man Hao. However, his ability is really much better than that of Old Man Hao, so he first used the instrument he carried with him to check.

After a while, he put down the bone carving in his hand and looked at Wang Jianzhong on the stage.

"I'll just say two things! First, turn this carved piece over and you'll find a symbol. Many people may not know, it is a very old script, and the specific origin is still to be studied, I guess it should be a minority script. However, I haven't studied this aspect deeply, so its price can be increased by another twenty or thirty thousand. ”

People who know bone carving know that since the beginning of the Neolithic Age, bone carving has developed rapidly in various periods, and bone carving has gradually declined after the Han Dynasty, but there is still production in the people, and bone carving, especially ivory carving, flourished again in the Qing Dynasty.

The words, symbols and characters depicted on the bone carvings all have distinctive characteristics of the times and are indispensable witnesses for the study of history. Secondly, bone carving has a rich cultural connotation.

"Second, if you look closely, you can find that your work is really not well preserved, and there are oil stains on the surface, so it's better to wash it. ”

The host was very cooperative, and immediately interjected a question: "I heard that the cleaning of antiques is very particular, I don't know how to clean bone carvings?"

Pang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the host's cooperation, and coughed lightly twice: "Ahem!"

"Cracked bone carvings can not be washed, can be used with 1% soap containing white alcohol, or trichloroethane solution on the surface dry cleaning, after the solution volatilizes, with a solvent to wipe off the trace amount of soap attached to the surface, and re-wax polishing.

If chemical cleaning conditions are not available, there are several easier ways to deal with them: if they are stained with oil or stubborn dirt, they should be gently brushed with warm soapy water but never soaked, or they can be cleaned with a toothbrush dipped in toothpaste.

However, the time should not be too long, and it should be dried in time after washing to prevent the utensils from being lifted or opened. Don't let the bone carving stick to irritating liquids such as washing spirits, then the luster on the surface of the bone carving will be darkened and the color will be black.

Generally speaking, the old bone carving does not need to be washed, re-apply the paraffin, and finally wipe the excess paraffin with a fine white cotton cloth. Pang Zhonghua said in more detail.

Zhao Tianming was a little surprised, this one from Tianhong Auction House has a bit of strength! It should not be underestimated, it seems that you should be careful.

Cleaning antiques has always been an important course, different cultural relics, there are different ways, there are too many details to pay attention to, even professionals may not be able to do everything.

"All in all, it's a pretty good quality bone carving. Next, let the experts over there give you an analysis of the market trend of bone carving!"

After speaking, Pang Zhonghua threw the topic to the people on the other side, making them embarrassed as well.

The experts and analysts on the other side secretly hated Old Man Hao. But I still had to speak.

Fortunately, they are not vegetarians, so they casually talk about perfunctory: "Collecting bone carvings, to be honest, it is not easy to make money, but the significance of collecting is very significant, it is rescuing the civilization symbols of ancient human beings." ”

Another person continued: "Nowadays, many people enter the field of collection, the most considered is to make money, the mentality of getting rich overnight is serious, the ancient bone carving such an unpopular collection is naturally difficult to get people's attention, many bone carvings have not been protected and damaged, lost, it is a pity." ”

"It's rare to come across a bone carving that combines archaeological value and commercial collection value, so I'll give you a slightly more accurate estimate! According to my analysis, it is about 420,000 yuan. Of course, if it is put up for auction in an auction house, it may be tens of thousands of yuan, or even exceed 500,000 yuan. ”

Wang Jianzhong on the stage was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and he smirked.

The audience at the scene can understand this kind of move, let alone a poor farmer, if it were them, they would suddenly get hundreds of thousands, and they would be unspeakably excited.

"So, let's mark the exact price and send it to the No. 1 throne, congratulations!" the host took the lead in applauding again.

There is another link in their program, that is, ten thrones have been set up, and those who are qualified to put it on will be marked with a price, and the top five treasures will be selected in the end, and the treasure holders will get different bonuses.

The first place treasure will receive 100,000 yuan, the runner-up treasure is 50,000 yuan, the third place treasure is 20,000 yuan, and the fourth and fifth place treasures are 10,000 yuan.

A burst of applause sent Wang Jianzhong off the stage, and there were people from Tianhong Auction House squatting in the background. As long as the treasures appear in the show, they will contact the treasure holder as soon as possible.

Spending tens of millions of titles, in addition to advertising to the auction house, is thinking about getting the moon near the water, getting the treasures that appear in the show to his own auction house for auction, and making some money back, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat!

"Uncle, I'm the business manager of Tianhong Auction House, and this is my business card. I don't know if your cuttlefish bone carving has any intention of changing hands to auction?" Manager Gu of Tianhong Auction House immediately came up.

This manager Gu is new, and after Chen Daosheng was arrested, he was promoted.

Therefore, he was eager to make some achievements. This program is a project that the auction house attaches great importance to. He was given the task of bringing the most important treasures to their auction house.

Wang Jianzhong was a little caught off guard, he was still thinking about how to sell it, whether someone would come to the door.

I didn't expect someone to find him so soon, and it was someone from the auction house. When he was on the stage just now, he remembered that an expert said that if it is put up for auction at an auction house, the price will be higher.

"How much does your auction house charge?" Wang Jianzhong asked.

Although he has little knowledge, he doesn't know how to run an auction house, how to auction and so on. However, he understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and it is impossible for people to auction it for you for free.

Manager Gu hurriedly introduced: "Our Tianhong Auction House is a large auction house, and the fees must be very fair. Generally speaking, these art auctions charge more than 10% commission. Different auction houses, the fees will be different, higher charges 12%, our Tianhong auction house only according to the minimum standard charges, 10%, that is, 10% of the profit. ”

"For example, if we auction for a total price of 1 million, we charge a commission of 100,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan, that's 5......0,000 yuan!

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jianzhong frowned: "So expensive? Then I might as well not auction it, it's not cost-effective! Just now, an expert estimated the value of my treasure at 420,000 yuan." Even if your auction house sells 500,000 yuan, after deducting the expenses, I can only get 400,000 yuan, so it is better for me to sell it directly. ”

Although Wang Jianzhong has no culture, he is very shrewd when it comes to money.

Belch!

Manager Gu had nothing to say, was silent for a moment, and continued to lobby: "Then what if the auction is more than 600,000? In our Tianhong Auction House, there are a lot of wealthy customers, and they casually shout the price twice, which is an astronomical amount. As the saying goes, it's hard to buy a favorite if you have money, and sometimes you just happen to meet a rich man you like very much, and you spend a lot of money, and the 10% commission is nothing at all. ”

This made Wang Jianzhong embarrassed. Who doesn't want to make a little more? But the auction house can guarantee that his treasures will be auctioned for more than 600,000 yuan?

……

In the program recording hall, with the announcement of the host, the second treasure holder entered.
