Chapter 704: Ivory Carving
There are many people who like this bronze, and dozens of people come to the stage to look at things, but Huo Sining is not interested. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
First, she didn't have any research on bronzes, and secondly, the price was really high, but Huo Sining didn't plan to let go of this bronze, although she didn't participate in the bidding, but it was okay to take a look and touch it.
Zhou Shitao handed it to Huo Sining after reading the thing, although some people next to him were dissatisfied, but they could all see that Huo Sining and Zhou Shitao were together, and Huo Sining was just a little girl, even if those people were unhappy, they didn't make a sound.
Huo Sining was not polite, and directly took the bronze in his hand and looked at it carefully.
It was a completely different feeling from a long distance, as soon as the bronze fell into her hands, Huo Sining saw a strong purple qi in front of her eyes, not only that, but there was also a deafening roar of beasts faintly in her ears, and at the same time, a thick historical aura came to her face.
Hearing the roar of the beast, Huo Sining couldn't help but gasp, she hurriedly put the bronze on the table, retracted her hand in a panic, and raised her eyes a little nervously to peek at a few people next to her, and saw that those people did not show anything strange on their faces, so she was relieved.
At that touch just now, Huo Sining has already determined the authenticity of this bronze, such a thing is really good, but Huo Sining also knows that the bottom of this thing must be unclean, she glanced at the bronze unwillingly, then gave up the position to the people behind, and silently followed Zhou Shitao down the booth.
It didn't take long for Ji Kun and Wei Yanli to also look at the bronze one after another, but it was similar to Huo Sining, Ji Kun only had the intention of looking at one, and after coming down, only Wei Yanli filled in the marking paper.
Huo Sining was curious about the price that the guy had filled in, and couldn't help but lean over to look.
It's a pity that Wei Yanli moved too fast, and Huo Sining only had time to see the three zeros behind, and the label paper was handed over by him.
Seeing Huo Sining glaring at him, Wei Yanli even raised his eyebrows at Huo Sining and threw a wink.
Zhou Shitao didn't move after he came down, and Huo Sining broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, really worried that the three masters and apprentices would be thrown out by the staff of the ghost city.
Why are you so active when you say you don't want to buy it? Isn't it a mess to run up to see something so fast and then you don't buy it?
In the end, the bronze was sold for 4.2 million yuan, but this is also the rule, only the final price is announced at the auction, and as for who the winning bidder is, except for the organizer and the winning bidder, no one else knows at all.
The first was the object with the door wide open, and everyone was very excited and looking forward to the next auction items. It's a pity that when the second item is brought up, everyone sighs.
The second item is an ivory Buddha statue about 20 centimeters high, as thick as a child's arm, and both the shape of the Buddha statue and the clothing are hollowed out.
The shape of the Buddha statue is the Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism, as the saying goes: the Bodhisattva low eyebrows, King Kong angry eyes, this Buddha carving Bodhisattva low eyebrows and lowered eyes, holding the Guanyin net bottle, the skirt fluttering, as if in the fairyland, plus the white and warm of the ivory, making the whole ivory carving appear extremely gentle and soft, just like Buddhism brings people a quiet and introverted temperament.
This is a typical Indian ivory carving technique, with elegant shapes and extremely delicate carvings.
Of course, the reason why everyone is embarrassed is not because this is an ivory carving.
Ivory carving is a very common product in the market, and the current ivory carving products include Asian ivory, African ivory, mammoth ivory, walrus ivory and unearthed ivory.
Because mammoths are extinct, the vast majority of them are African and Asian ivory.
The ivory is available in white, yellow, light brown and other hues, with no enamel covering on the surface, and has a tough and fine texture with a soft luster.
In general, Asian ivory is coarser in texture than African ivory.
African ivory is pale yellow or milky white in color, fine, warm, glossy, and long-lasting;
Although Asian ivory is white and bright at the beginning of the extraction, its hardness is lower than that of African ivory, and its luster is not as good as that of African ivory.
Therefore, in terms of the collection value of handicrafts, African ivory is higher than Asian ivory, but this Buddha statue is the use of Asian ivory, which is the reason why everyone sighs.
There is the bronze in front of the base, and suddenly a worthless ivory carving suddenly appeared, and there is naturally a gap in everyone's hearts, and this ivory carving is not very eye-catching.
However, when Huo Sining saw this object for the first time, he liked it in his heart.
Carefully observe the subtleties, Huo Sining can see that the carving of this work is extremely profound, the knife is in place and absolutely does not drag mud and water, the lines of this Guanyin are simple and smooth, the details are clear and natural, and the most special thing is that this carver did not change the texture of the ivory itself, but carved along the curved arc of the ivory, so that the characteristics of Asian ivory are fully reflected.
Because Asian ivory carvings are very common in the market, the collection value is not high, and the people who come to participate in the auction are either large or have picked up the big leaks, and most of the objects with little appreciation space are not eye-catching, so when the reminder whistle sounds, in addition to Huo Sining, there are only two people on stage.
Because it was not an important thing, Huo Sining was not in a hurry this time, and she waited until the two of them finished reading the things before she came on stage.
The two men were a man and a woman, and the man looked very young, about twenty years old.
After the man walked on stage, he picked up a magnifying glass to observe the ivory carving, but after only a few glances, he turned around and hurried off the stage, his face full of disappointment.
Another lady, estimated to be forty or fifty years old, was dressed very noble and elegant, and looked like she was born into a wealthy family.
She picked up the ivory carving and got started, but her focus was not on the ivory carving, but on Guanyin's costume.
It was probably the hollow patterns and retro clothing that attracted her attention, she rubbed on the ivory carving for a long time, and finally looked at the floor price card, after all, she still felt that it was not worth the shot, shook her head regretfully, and walked straight down the stage and returned to her seat.
It was Huo Sining's turn to look at things, and Huo Sining was worried that the two people in front of her would raise the price, so that it would be difficult for her to make a move.
Because she needs to calculate how much money the other party will pay, and how high the price she needs to pay to suppress the other party, now the two of them did not fill in the form after they went down, proving that they don't like it, which made Huo Sining feel happy in her heart.
