Chapter 1183: Qing Dynasty Nail Sets [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
It's no wonder that everyone looks at Huo Sining with curious eyes, it's really because this little girl can't see anything to do with antiques anywhere except for being a little beautiful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And this little girl is too young, Zhou Shitao wants to accept apprentices, at least thirty years old and upwards, and has made a little famous appraiser in the antique circle.
Such a little girl, I don't know what kind of luck she went, but she actually won the favor of Zhou Shitao, and was accepted as a closed disciple by such an academic master.
Being looked at by so many people, Huo Sining is not stage frightened at all, she has even seen a big scene like the Spring Festival Gala, such a small auction is really nothing to her.
And although it is the first time she has been officially brought out by Zhou Shitao, she is not a rookie when she first set foot in the antique circle, and now she has goods in her stomach and is not panicked, and the whole person is full of confidence, and she will certainly not show timidity when looking at these people.
So all the way through, her face was always filled with a calm smile, her eyes and eyebrows were full of confidence, and she had a generous posture that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Huo Sining's performance has left a deep impression on many people, although I don't know if this little girl has real talent in antique appreciation, but just with this calmness and self-confidence, she has pulled a lot of points.
As Xu Shilong entered the auction hall, Huo Sining noticed that the auction hall of this hotel was very large, and it should have been a banquet hall in the past, but now it has been arranged as an auction site, which is different from the usual auction site, the seats in this auction hall are not arranged in rows and neatly, but sofa seats and round tables are placed around it, and tea cups are placed on it, which is set up to become a real venue for free communication.
On one side, there were already seven or eight waiters in cheongsams standing, apparently ready to serve the guests with tea and water in front of the various tables after the auction began.
On the innermost stage of the hall, there is a display table, which is obviously used as a display counter for the auction.
Zhou Shitao and his entourage were led to sit down in front of the innermost window sofa, Xu Shilong arranged a few words, and then went to greet the other guests.
Zhou Shitao and Shi Qingyun sat at a round table and began to chat, and it didn't take long for the scheduled opening time of the auction to arrive.
Soon, the auction began.
Xu Shilong grabbed the microphone and walked onto the podium and opened his mouth to make an opening statement.
"Everyone present is a person in the circle, and I've always been the master of the door, so I didn't invite any hosts, it's too expensive, it's better for me to say it myself, if the host is not good, forgive me. ”
Xu Shilong was also casual, and when he came on stage, he started with a self-deprecating appearance, burying himself for a while, which immediately made everyone in the audience laugh.
Xu Shilong didn't talk a lot of nonsense, didn't go to any company to introduce himself, and didn't say anything thanks, but simply said: "Since it is a charity auction exchange meeting, then I will not gossip, just one sentence, every item in this auction link, the auction proceeds, our company will donate 50% of the auction to charity for children in remote mountainous areas." ”
"Next, let's get to the point, on the first auction item, this is a Ming Dynasty jade cicada, the starting price, 12,000. Xu Shilong looked around the auction hall and said loudly.
After the thing came to the stage, everyone was very active in holding up the card, although it was a charity auction, but in fact, everyone knew very well that the so-called charity was just a disguise, Xu Shilong made such an auction, but to set a venue to find a reason to find people in the circle to communicate, its real purpose is not for charity, but to connect people.
Therefore, in the auction link, the auction items he took out will not be too valuable, but for the sake of charity, these people present will express something, especially the few businessmen who tried to sneak in, and tried their best to show themselves, or didn't look at the table where Zhou Shitao was, the purpose was very obvious.
Zhou Shitao has seen a lot of such people, so he didn't care, but just seriously asked Shi Qingyun and a few people for their opinions, whether he had a few whispered words with Huo Sining and a few other students.
Xu Shilong has not studied much in antiques, as Zhou Shitao said, this person is only interested in jewelry and jade, so almost all the lots in the charity auction he hosted are jewelry and jade objects.
Jade cicada, bergamot, South African diamonds, wild pearls, jadeite pendants...... These things are all in the same category, and the price range is in the range of thousands to hundreds of thousands, the price is not too high, and the collection value is actually limited.
In the whole link, there are not many auction items, that is, more than a dozen less than 20 lots, although the value of the things is not high, but none of the items are unsold, Xu Shilong will also be a person, and the low price offered is a few percent lower than the price of the item itself, plus he promised to donate 50% to charity, so the people present are willing to give him this face.
When the auction was about to end, another staff member suddenly brought up an item.
Xu Shilong said with a smile: "The next thing, the ladies present may like it, because this is a set of Qing Dynasty tortoiseshell beaded floral nail sets." ”
As he spoke, Xu Shilong set up a box containing objects, revealing a beautiful set of armor inside.
Those who have watched the TV series of the Qing Dynasty know that the women in the court of the Qing Dynasty, the concubines with a little status, almost everyone has to wear such jewelry, and the armor cover is usually made of gold and silver or various jewelry, and the ornamentation is very exquisite and gorgeous, and there are many varieties.
In fact, the rise of armor covers was not in the Qing Dynasty, but only in the Qing Dynasty began to become popular, in the history of the Chinese Kingdom, the most representative armor beauty, I am afraid that the end of the Qing Dynasty The Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government.
In order to protect her carefully cared for nails, to increase the length of her nails and to show her noble status, the queen mother ordered the court craftsmen to collect all kinds of jewels, which were inlaid on decorative metal or cloisonné to make fake nail covers to wear.
Therefore, it is recorded in the history books that the queen mother has a collection of all kinds of precious nail sets, and each nail cover costs a lot of skilled craftsmen.
The set of nail sets that Xu Shilong took out in front of him, you can see the craftsmanship, it is obviously produced in the Qing Dynasty, although I don't know which concubine has worn the jewelry, but as soon as this beautiful nail cover appeared, it did win the hearts of many women in the auction venue, and even Huo Sining couldn't help but shine in front of him.
