Hearing this, Sui Dongchen and Luo Nanyu's eyes lit up, if Sun Zhongyuan could really break through the Xuanyuan Star Chart and soar into the sky, plus a few of them were promoted from the side, and the Celestial Elephant Tower reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it would be really a big weather!

However, their eyes only lit up and then dimmed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This Xuanyuan Star Chart, Gongsun Yang did not break through it in a short period of time, and passed away with regret, Sun Zhongyuan was young, and the possibility was even more remote.

"I just hope that Xu Heizi can show up as soon as possible, so that we can understand what else we don't know back then!" Sui Dongchen stood up, "You two will rest here with me today." ”

・・・・・・

The next day, Sun Zhongyuan woke up and pondered that what Sui Dongchen said made sense, those messy things, in fact, there is no specific response at the moment, and the matter of the auction house is his own job after all.

When Sun Zhongyuan arrived at the auction house, everyone was very busy, after all, the autumn auction was about to start.

However, Sun Zhongyuan is a little special now, not only his colleagues won't ask him what he's doing, but even Chen Ping won't ask more. This "contribution" of two heavy weapons lots also left everyone speechless.

Sun Zhongyuan went to Liu Haoming's office, and Liu Haoming told him that the focus of his work was on collecting lots, and the rest did not matter. As for the organization and preparation of the autumn auction, it is basically a step-by-step matter.

Moreover, now that Dongsheng's autumn auction is yellow all of a sudden, and the autumn auction of Xingchen Auction House also has a finale, there is nothing to be nervous about.

However, Liu Haoming also instructed Sun Zhongyuan that in the days of autumn auctions, he must get the scene, and at the same time be familiar with all the lots to deal with various situations.

When communicating with Sun Zhongyuan, Liu Haoming's desk had a set of washed out pictures, which might be something to be auctioned off the album.

Sun Zhongyuan glanced at it a few times, but suddenly felt that there was a problem!

On the picture, it is a HN Huanghuali head case, the volume is not large, look at the picture, there is no problem with the format and materials, the problem lies in the text description, because it is marked "early Ming Dynasty".

This kind of furniture, to put it simply, is a relatively narrow table with both ends upturned.

Why is there such a system? It is mainly for the literati. Whether it is an ancient handscroll or a painting scroll, it may be relatively long, and it needs to be unfolded on the case. Those who have experience may know that after putting it away, it will roll away with a flick of the hand, and if the case is not "warped", the hand roll is too long, and it may hang down!

Therefore, the warping case effectively solves this problem, and at the same time, it is quite good-looking, increasing the three-dimensional sense and not so rigid.

"Mr. Liu, is this warping case going to be auctioned?" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it's a pity that part of the leg is broken, and a piece is mended, otherwise it can be regarded as a heavy weapon!" Liu Haoming replied casually, "The furniture department collected it." ”

Liu Haoming is right, the material of sea yellow is quite valuable, if it is really from the Ming Dynasty and intact, its market price may even exceed that of the fixed kiln lid jar. However, if it is damaged, it will be replaced, then there is no way to say, the value is at least discounted, which depends on the specific auction situation.

"Who set this year?" asked Sun Zhongyuan again

"It's also set by the Ministry of Furniture. When Liu Haoming heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Sun Zhongyuan, "What, you are also proficient in furniture?"

"I can't talk about being proficient, but this Haihuang Qiaotou case is definitely not from the early Ming Dynasty. Sun Zhongyuan replied.

"Oh?" Although Liu Haoming was not very proficient in ancient furniture, he also showed a look of surprise, "You only look at the pictures, so sure?"

"The hardwood table case could not have appeared in the early Ming Dynasty!" Sun Zhongyuan replied.

Timber, thousands, and sorts, are also varied. For example, this sea yellow, now belongs to mahogany, that's for sure. However, in the ancient furniture classification, it was generally divided into hardwood and softwood.

For example, in the past, mahogany, specifically the red sour branch, belonged to the hardwood. Later, there was a large classification of mahogany, which included more than 30 kinds of wood. Therefore, when it comes to mahogany in the antique shop, there are actually two meanings, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Of course, it doesn't really matter how you divide it, you just need to know what kind of wood is in this class.

Inside the hardwoods, there are red sandalwood, HN yellow pear, red sour branch, wenge and so on.

Cork inside, including nanmu, elm, beech, fir and so on. Of course, this softness and hardness are relative, in fact, cork is not soft, but not as hard as hardwood.

Liu Haoming felt very fresh about Sun Zhongyuan's point of view, "How is this possible? In the early Ming Dynasty, there were also rosewood and sea yellow furniture!"

"That's right. But it's impossible to have such a large flat case!" Sun Zhongyuan said.

Liu Haoming listened, "You sit, talk slowly." At the same time, he also threw Sun Zhongyuan a cigarette.

Sun Zhongyuan took the cigarette and lit it, but said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, isn't it impossible to smoke in the office?

"One or two is fine, isn't that to the point?" Liu Haoming said, and laid out an ashtray. It seems that he didn't smoke less, anyway, he was in the office by himself, turned on the air purifier, and the smell of smoke disappeared after a while.

"Hardwood furniture, there are in the early Ming Dynasty, but it is mainly other furniture that does not need a strict plane, this table case, has to be leveled, and the planer is a leveling tool, which is only available in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Sun Zhongyuan explained.

"Where did you see that?"

"There is no consensus on this in the academic community. However, when I was in school, I read a paper, it was very rigorous, I was interested and looked up a lot of information, so it should be no problem. Sun Zhongyuan smiled, "People in the antique circle, how can they study the history of this tool? In the past, many table cases were broken, and I think there were actually problems. ”

It can be imagined that if there is no planer leveling for the hardness of the wood, it is really impossible to make a large plane, especially the surface of this case is not ordinary flat!

"Moreover, Mr. Liu, you also know that before the appearance of planers, even cork tables were difficult to level. ”

This is a strong supporting evidence. What was the way to level at that time?

Draped in linen, putty, leveled, painted. This kind of furniture is called lacquered furniture.

But hardwood, but not linen, ash and lacquer. Of course, this is not a technical problem, this is too simple, and ordinary craftsmen can do it. It's because hardwoods are often very valuable! If you toss them like this, they become tyrannical things.

In addition to the sea yellow produced in China, others such as small-leaved red sandalwood and mahogany are all "imported". Moreover, the sea was closed before Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, and there were very few of these woods that came in.

Even the sea yellow produced in China is very precious, it was all wild at that time, there was no fast-growing forest, and the sea yellow was extremely slow to mature. In the Ming Dynasty, Haihuang was much more expensive than Nanmu, you know, Nanmu is already very expensive.

Liu Haoming listened and listened, and couldn't help but get up immediately, "Let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse to have a look!"
