Chapter 1111: Zhou Dynasty Bronze Mirror?
Looking at Mountbatten with a smile on his face, although Director Ouyang kept a smile on his face, a chill appeared in his heart, if Mountbatten was to choose, with their Sotheby's abundance of cultural relics, I was afraid that they could really choose which part of them
"Counterfeits". Le-Wen - That's a big deal...... But if you don't agree, you will appear empty-hearted, how can this be?
Just when Director Ouyang was in a dilemma, he heard a voice behind him:
"Well, as the Duke asks, you can try to choose one of these artifacts on display to verify the authenticity. Director Ouyang, Li Lianjie, Ji Qiaoqiao, and Ren Na on the stage all had the same expression, looking at Su Huai with their mouths slightly open.
I thought, how dare you say that...... If someone picks out a fake cultural relic, isn't it smashing the signboard that has just been erected?
At this time, the Duke of Mountbatten did not call anyone else, but personally stepped forward to carefully observe the dozens of cultural relics displayed by the Chinese government.
Director Ouyang, Lin Feng and the others were silent on their faces, but they were very nervous in their hearts, among their batch of cultural relics, there were three types of sources, one was from the royal family, and the second was collected by the Cultural Affairs Bureau...... That's what Su Huai faked...... Of course, the Duke of Mountbatten will not choose, they will only choose the ones that the royal family originally wanted to auction will only be selected in the latter two categories, and they can only pray that they will not pick the ones forged by Su Huai.
Just as he was so worried, he saw Duke Mountbatten's eyes wandering, and muttered: "This is the Nine Dragon Wall collected by Old Neil...... You are so well-intentioned that you can even receive this. Hearing this, Director Ouyang's heart suddenly cooled again, this Duke Mountbatten is well-informed, and he has recognized a lot of their folk collections
"Real artifacts". In other words, the Duke of Mountbatten is likely to choose Su Huai's production
"Forgery". Thinking so, I saw that Duke Mountbatten's gaze lingered on a bronze mirror for a long time.
Director Ouyang and Lin Feng were both nervous in their hearts, and secretly shouted: It's over...... Sure enough, Duke Mountbatten pointed to the bronze mirror with a beautiful shape and a green dragon sculpture underneath and said, "Mr. Su, may I ask this cultural relic, what dynasty is it?" Su Huai couldn't see any expression on his face, and said lightly: "It's from the Zhou Dynasty." Hearing this answer, the Duke of Mountbatten immediately laughed: "Then let's inspect this piece, can we?" Su Huai didn't say anything, but he couldn't allow him not to agree, and Old Malone led a large number of experts to come up and carefully open the box.
In the silence of the audience, the audience and the audience in front of the TV set widened their eyes and carefully stared at every close-up in the camera.
And Director Ouyang and the others all listened to the sound of their hearts pounding. In the testing room, the Duke of Mountbatten smiled loudly at Su Huai:
"Mr. Su, do you know why I chose this bronze mirror?"
"Could it be that the Duke thinks there is something wrong with this bronze mirror?" Su Huai frowned slightly. The Duke of Mountbatten laughed happily:
"I'm afraid Mr. Su was deceived and didn't know yet. ”
"Oh, how do you say that?" Su Huai frowned and asked, "Duke, please make it clear." ”
"Mr. Su, don't you know that the formula of this bronze mirror is tin plus copper, and tin will turn into yellow powder at low temperatures, so if the bronze mirror is placed in the wrong environment, the tin component in it will form powder erosion, and it will quickly infect the nearby area, forming the so-called 'tin plague'. Duke Mountbatten said, and a sharp light suddenly shot out of his eyes that was difficult to look at, forcing Su Huai:
"And whether it is placed in a cold cellar, or it has experienced a catastrophe, the bronze mirror will definitely have a 'tin plague', and all the bronze mirrors in our group's collection are like this, let me ask Mr. Su, how can your piece be so good, there is no tin plague at all?" Duke Mountbatten's rhetorical question caused an exclamation from the audience.
concerning
The judgment of the "tin plague" is obviously the experience accumulated by the experts of Sotheby's Group for many years, and the Duke of Mountbatten dares to be so sure.
And even all the bronze mirrors in the collection of Sotheby's Group have tin plague, but Su Huai does not, which does not prove that it is a 100% fake!
The Chinese audience doesn't care about the authenticity of a cultural relic, they care about the credibility of Su Shengren, and they are all anxious for Su Huai.
Teacher Su hurriedly said that this was deceived. ”
"Find a reason. ”
"You can't admit it. Director Ouyang on the stage gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to take the blame, ready to say that this cultural relic was received by their Cultural Bureau, but before he could speak, he heard Su Huai's voice sound:
"Since the Duke of Mountbatten thinks that this is a fake cultural relic, then you can try to detect it, and if you find a loophole, then I, Su Huai, apologize to everyone present on the spot. Duke Mountbatten smiled slightly, thinking that you Su Huai also had a day when the mouth of a dead duck was hard, he turned his head to look at Old Ma Long, but saw that Old Ma Long shook his head in surprise, showing that he didn't see the flaw.
Huh, how so? The Duke of Mountbatten was a little surprised, and hurriedly walked up himself, and began to observe the bronze mirror himself.
Just look at the delicate step under the bronze mirror, there are vertical scales, and there is a ring dragon pattern on the abdomen, and the dragon is lined with a corrugated pattern under the dragon, and the three legs are knife-shaped, which is the typical bronze ornamental characteristics of the Shang and Zhou bronzes.
This permutation and combination is a metaphor
"Dragons walk on water by scales", which means that dragons swim in the water by their scales. In terms of craftsmanship, this is definitely the top level of cultural relics. But there is no tin plague, it is 100% fake, how can it not be flawed? Mountbatten wore gloves, took the bronze mirror from the old Malone's hand, and examined it repeatedly, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the bronze mirror imitated quite exquisitely, whether it was ornamentation, pulp, or the level of patina, it was imitated seamlessly, and he couldn't see a flaw. Mountbatten couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Su Huai, and said secretly in his heart: "It's strange? If Su Huai's imitation level can reach such a level, how can he not know about the tin plague? Then there's only one reason for that...... deliberately did not do tin plague and exposed this flaw, which was to lure him to choose this bronze mirror, that is to say, Su Huai had 100% confidence in his imitation. Through this bronze mirror, I am telling him a fact: Yes, I, Su Huai, am a fake, but even if you know that it is a fake, you can't see any flaws at all. The Duke of Mountbatten was also quite surprised in his heart, this Su Huai was really bold, he dared to underestimate the cultural relics identification ability of their Sotheby's Group so much? What a daredevil, do you think that to this extent, I will not be able to pierce you? Thinking of this, the audience saw the Duke of Mountbatten suddenly announce aloud;
"Mr. Su, the loss of cultural relics is borne by our group. As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that as soon as the Duke of Mountbatten stretched out his hand, someone handed him several slender steel tools, all of which were very strange in shape, very similar to the eight crabs that have been popular in the Northwest to eat mansion crabs recently.
Seeing that the Duke of Mountbatten was going to test it in a destructive way, Director Ouyang suddenly said angrily: "How can this work!" was about to step forward to stop it, but was blocked by the tall bodyguards around Old Ma Long!
Director Ouyang and Lin Feng looked at Duke Mountbatten, holding a steel tool and gently scraping the rusty bumps on the base of the bronze mirror, almost screaming out on the spot!
Generally speaking, only the natural accumulation of rust for thousands of years can have high hardness, if it is a new rust made of chemical reagents, it is not strong, and it will fall off if it is scraped!
