Chapter Seventy-Seven: Weakness of Heart
As soon as Zhao Tianming spoke, the rest of the people were obviously stunned.
"Is he?"
Appraiser Lu Tong didn't know Zhao Tianming yet, although he had worked here before, Zhao Tianming's previous level was too low, and it was impossible for an appraiser to remember.
"Mr. Zhao Tianming, Mr. Zhao, I can be regarded as a peer with you, and I have great skills!" Vice President Yang immediately introduced.
Ye Qiushuang saw that Zhao Tianming was interested, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the seal, after all, Zhao Tianming's skills, she knew, it was impossible to want to watch it for no reason.
Vice President Yang obviously has this mentality, but if Zhao Tianming takes a fancy to him, it will save him a trouble.
So, he hurriedly said, "You can watch it casually!"
The man who sent the photo also nodded immediately, it was the same for everyone, all he wanted was money. As long as he can get rid of this item smoothly, he will leave as soon as he gets the money. It's definitely not a good thing to get entangled with an auction house.
"Yes!"
Appraiser Lu Tong didn't care, anyway, with his ability, he determined the number of the seal, anyway, he didn't want to touch his hands. At this point, any decision of the auction house has nothing to do with him.
"It seems that something is wrong, right?" Ye Qiushuang is really Ye Qiushuang, he always speaks without concealment, and he says anything directly.
However, it is easy to offend people!
No, it has offended the man. He immediately shouted: "What's wrong? Do you understand? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." You are responsible for slandering this treasure of mine. ”
It's hard to make a person, it's easy to destroy a person, and it's the same for other things.
However, Ye Qiushuang was not afraid at all, and glared: "I don't understand? The antiques I have identified can open a few museums." Whatever it is, you can tell at a glance whether it's true or not. ”
After Zhao Tianming heard this, he felt that this woman's speech was not very reliable, it was too exaggerated!
Zhao Tianming rolled his eyes and said secretly: Sister, it's almost enough to brag.
"Then tell me, what's the situation with my seal!" The man naturally didn't believe Ye Qiushuang's words, and said disdainfully.
Ye Qiushuang sneered: "Do you really want me to say it?"
Such a firm tone made the man a little jealous, and he couldn't figure out whether this woman really understood or didn't know how to pretend to know how to scare people.
"Then tell me about it!" the man was a little lacking in confidence.
Originally, I was a little weak-hearted, but at this time, it seemed to be exposed, so I was naturally more nervous.
My own things, naturally know the inside story. Jia seems to really have a certain ability to appreciate himself, and he was also optimistic about this seal at the beginning, who knew that he still looked away, and later was identified as a fake, so he thought about taking it out and pit others, as long as he returned to his roots.
"The problem is with the buttons. Ye Qiushuang found this problem after observing it for a while just now.
As a work of art, the value of the seal is generally manifested in two aspects, one is its appearance design, that is, the design of the seal button, the casting technology and the later higher level of deep processing skills. The second is the art of calligraphy and engraving of printed characters.
Otherwise, Ye Qiushuang was not sure, but there was definitely something wrong with the printing button. She hasn't played with antiques for so long, she doesn't play for nothing, she has some eyesight and knowledge, right? Otherwise, she would have lost money on the streets all these years.
The design of the button was originally based on practicality, and it was used to wear ribbons around the waist, such as tile buttons, nose buttons, etc.
Due to the large number and extensive use of seals in the official and private sectors, and the diversification of printing materials, a broader space has been created for the design and production of seal buttons, so in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the art of seals has been unprecedentedly prosperous. The design of the button has been greatly enriched, and all kinds of zodiac fish and insects, characters and flowers and birds are also present in the design of the button.
Lu Tong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this beautiful woman to really have some ability to see through this.
He nodded: "At the beginning, I also missed my eyes, and the person who imitated this seal is also a master, and the imitation is very similar." Whether it is old or knife, there are almost no flaws. ”
Ye Qiushuang continued his words: "But the seal button should have gone wrong with the knife, and it was exposed." ”
This remark coincided with Lu Tong's later judgment, and he immediately raised his thumb: "Awesome! Awesome! Let you find out so quickly." ”
In fact, he was too careless at the beginning, and if he was serious, it should not be difficult to find.
After hearing this, Ye Qiushuang was very proud, and he was very happy to be praised by his peers.
"It's in good condition!" she added.
The seal is very particular about the quality, and the words and drawings are required to be clear and the edges are not damaged. As a result, a seal with a mutilation is much inferior in value. In addition, the value of heirloom seals is generally higher than that of excavated seals.
When Zhao Tianming came into contact with the seal, Gu Jing naturally transmitted the specific information of the seal to his mind, and he already knew everything. However, I still pretended to watch it for a while.
One thing that is very important in collecting seals is that the users of the seals must be clear.
Whether it is an official seal or a private seal, it is very precious for celebrities or engraved by famous artists. The official seal is a symbol of the hierarchy of state administrators, which is scarce and expensive, and it is difficult to find among the people.
The one in front of me, judging from the print at the bottom of the seal, is the private seal of Li Hongzhang, a senior official in the late Qing Dynasty.
is so powerful that there are many historical celebrities, there must be a lot of private seals, even if the one in front of you is not recorded, but it is not ruled out that it is real.
It's like the children of a rich man, everyone may know their legitimate son, but they can't recognize someone's illegitimate son.
"However, in any case, it is still carved from Tianhuang stone, and the carving is not bad, and it has a certain value. Lu Tong commented.
But if you want to sell more than 200,000, it's a bit of a pipe dream.
The seal is very particular about the original and genuine, even if your material is genuine, but it is an imitation, then the impact is a bit big.
In particular, the quality of your Tianhuangshi is also average, not a very good kind.
To determine the quality of Tian Huangshi, it is generally necessary to start from four points. The first is the color, Yellowstone is generally yellow, white, red, black and other colors, with yellow as the respect, the thicker and more pure yellow color, the higher the value.
The two are the feel, and the price is high for those with dense texture, delicate, warm and smooth.
The third is transparency, located in the "mean" state of the Tianhuang stone value is the highest, and the less impurities in the oil slippery light transmission, the better, the pure one is the top grade.
Finally, the texture is also an important aspect that determines the value of Tianhuang stone. The radish texture is obvious, and the price of Tianhuangshi with a fine and orderly texture is higher, and the saying "no skin does not become a field" and "no grid does not become a field" comes from this.
Lu Tong didn't see Vice President Yang give him a look, and only after pretending to be forced did he react, as if he had said a little too much. After all, in front of your own customers, don't you talk about other people's items like this?
Sure enough, Jia Ruzhen's face suddenly darkened.
"What do you think?" Ye Qiushuang finally asked Zhao Tianming.
