The birthday star of this camphor wood carving is not a new thing, and it looks like it will have to be around for decades. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And the carving is excellent, not mediocre.

With such a process, how could the things in the hands of the birthday star be so out of tune? Even if it is not a longevity peach, it should be Ganoderma lucidum or something.

This wood carving, there is a conjoined base below, and a few lines of poetry are engraved on the base:

A bottle of wine with bamboo leaves, pomegranate blossoms in Mayday. You might as well hold on to the cane and walk to the white clouds.

Sun Zhongyuan stared at the wood carving for a while, and was about to ask the stall owner, but Chen Danyang pulled him and asked him to look at the bronze mirror in his hand first.

This bronze mirror is modeled after the style of the Tang mirror, but in Sun Zhongyuan's opinion, it is a fake at a glance. What attracted Chen Danyang was probably the gossip ornament. This person who is new to antiques is easy to extend from the original interest base, he studied the art of Xuanmen, and naturally was interested in this, just like discovering the Nine Palaces Bagua card at that time.

Sun Zhongyuan shook his head slightly, and his eyes revealed a direct denial. When Chen Danyang saw it, he also put it down. If it's a modern craft, it's naturally not interesting.

The stall owner is a lean middle-aged man, there are only these two people in front of his stall, seeing this scene, the stall owner understands, the one who holds the bronze mirror, has no eyesight, and the main owner is another, as if he is interested in this camphor wood carving.

"Little brother has good eyesight, the stall owner gently stroked the camphor wood carving with his hand, this is a good thing in the foreign exchange period, it is not easy to stay. ”

In the collection world, the term foreign exchange earning period has appeared more in recent years, and the foreign exchange earning period mainly refers to the handicrafts of the fifties and sixties of the last century. Naturally, not all of them were sold, and some were left in the country.

Originally, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is difficult to call it an antique, because after all, it is only a few decades ago.

However, there is a characteristic of the handicrafts during the foreign exchange earning period, that is, they basically follow the style of the Republic of China, and most of them are handmade works by masters, which are fine and rigorous. This style is sometimes dull, but it is still collectible. Therefore, in recent years, the popularity of collecting has increased.

"The handman is okay, but the shape is a little awkward. Sun Zhongyuan said.

The stall owner was visibly stunned for a moment. The layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, and in the same way, the insider can also listen to the doorway. The stall owner thought to himself, this young man is so young, and he actually exports words like "worker". This is the kind of word he heard from the older generation of players.

The meaning of a craftsman is the craftsmanship of a craftsman when making an object. One of these words is old, and now it is not used much, and the second is mostly used in bamboo and wood tooth horns, which has a certain purpose. Therefore, if you are not an old worm or an expert, you will not use such words casually.

"What the little brother said awkwardly is just this bottle of wine in the birthday star's hand. Isn't there four lines of poetry on this pedestal? This may be the ingenuity of the master at that time, but it is actually quite interesting. ”

Sun Zhongyuan nodded, "Then I'll listen to the floor price you quote!"

"This wood carving is not small, and it is a whole piece of root material. I think you like it a lot, and I don't want more, how about you give six thousand?"

This price is a little high, but it is quite realistic. In the antique market, it is rare for the first quote to be only slightly higher than the market price. The so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back, a hundred yuan of things, shouting a hundred times the price is not unusual.

This camphor wood carving is a fine product in the foreign exchange period, the wood quality is good, and there is nearly a foot high, the volume is not small, the market value should be around 5,000. If you want to make a quotation, you can quote 20,000 or 30,000 at will, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But this stall owner only quoted six thousand. Maybe it's because he understands that Sun Zhongyuan is an expert, and at the same time, the business is relatively cold at the moment.

Moreover, the market price is the market price, and it may be very cheap for him to collect things, and it is not impossible to collect hundreds of yuan.

Sun Zhongyuan talked back and forth with him a few times, and finally won it for 3,000.

Things on the stalls, this is not too uncommon. You say pick up the leak, in fact, it is not much cheaper than the market price, but it is indeed lower than the market price. Of course, this is based on eyesight. Most of the income of the antique stall owners still depends on "slaughtering", otherwise where would so many fakes go?

However, Sun Zhongyuan naturally would not buy this wood carving because of this, the year is too shallow, and it doesn't mean much.

The reason why he bought it was because he found the inside of this birthday wood carving, which was hidden inside.

The two of them continued to wander around, and after visiting all the stalls, they didn't find anything worth buying. Chen Danyang was slightly disappointed and proposed to go to the antique city again.

Sun Zhongyuan persuaded, "After looking at the stalls, you generally know the situation in this antique city." And this antique city is newly built, and even if there are good things, it is difficult to pick them up. There is a big taboo when visiting the antique market, that is, you must be ambitious, and you are like this now. Don't say that your eyesight is average, even if you have eyesight, you have the heart to win, and you are not far from hitting your eyes and suffering losses. ”

Sun Zhongyuan said that this situation has happened to many players. Before visiting the market, give yourself a psychological hint that you must buy something, or even pick up the leaks! This kind of psychology can easily lead to errors in judgment.

Although Chen Danyang listened to Sun Zhongyuan and was about to go home, he was still not very happy.

"Go back, I'll show you the good things in this wood carving!" Sun Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"What's in this wood carving?" Chen Danyang immediately asked, "How do you know?"

Of course, Sun Zhongyuan can't say that he has Baoguang to help. However, this wood carving is not all about relying on Baoguang to discover the hidden things.

"These antique artifacts, many treasures are hidden in vessels. Yes, they are hidden tightly, without revealing any clues, and completely hidden. And some of them, the treasure man is clever and likes to play a little action. In a seemingly ordinary artifact, hiding treasures and leaving hints and clues on ordinary artifacts is called belly holding. Sun Zhongyuan explained.

"Oh?" Chen Danyang's mind was still spinning quickly, "You mean, it was originally a birthday star, and it was a hint to touch the wine without holding a peach?"

"It's understandable. We're going back now and take out the treasure inside, it's called oil!"

Chen Danyang glanced at Sun Zhongyuan with a smile, "I'm really convinced of you!" Okay, then go back quickly." ”

The two went back to the hotel and placed this wood carving on the table in Sun Zhongyuan's room, Chen Danyang looked up and down, "This thing is indeed very finely carved, it's a pity to destroy it!"

"If you need to destroy the utensils to take out the treasure, then it's not oil fishing, it's oil extraction. The original designer left clues, often with mechanisms, and there was no need to destroy the original artifact at all! Otherwise, what would he do if he left clues?"
