Chapter 549: Official Hat Chair

However, the advance was actually even crazier than they imagined, and all the valuable antique furniture in the house, but all the ancestors left behind, he moved out, ready to make up a big lie.

On that day, there was a huge crowd of people, and basically all the people gathered inside and outside the courtyard of the advance, waiting to advance and scatter the silver dollars.

However, on that day, the advance invited some antique dealers, in front of the whole street, to sell all the antique furniture that they could see with their eyes, and the asking price was not high, if you really want to say it, it is cheap, but even so, it also made more than 100,000 yuan, and he also told the people who came to see the excitement that all those things were dug up in their own homes, saying that the streets here used to be used as warehouses, and every family had a similar basement in their homes.

As soon as he said this, many people believed it, and refused to sell the house, so it was tossed for a full month, and most of them didn't dig up anything at all, and finally wasted time and sold the house.

In the past month, Qianqian used the money he sold to go out to eat and drink, please this today, invite that tomorrow, and more than 100,000 yuan will be reimbursed.

Because of this incident, Qianjian's wife was directly angry, and Qianjin also fell directly into the sewer because she drank too much one night, and she didn't know which one lacked virtue and stole the manhole cover.

At that time, the person in bed was only a teenager.

Speaking of which, Zhang Tianyuan was quite interested, because he likes to listen to other people's stories, but Mr. Gao was a little impatient, he didn't come here to listen to stories. It's here to buy something, especially since Hong Quan has confessed to him. Be sure to accompany Zhang Tianyuan and let Zhang Tianyuan buy something satisfactory.

"I said Lao Chen. We're not here to hear you tell these stories today, so let's not talk about how much of the truth you have here, and it doesn't matter what we're going to talk about today, I'll ask the owner of this thing. ”

Teacher Gao saw that Lao Chen was getting more and more energetic, and he couldn't help it, so he simply interrupted him, he had heard a lot of such stories outside, true or false. Who knows if it's the truth or not, in fact, he still knows Qianjian, although Qianjin really has that kind of crazy move, but it doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as Lao Chen said. Besides, people are dead, and it's a bit unorthodox to say that now.

"Haha, you see how I forgot, you guys came to Xiao Qian to buy something today. Buying antiques, right?"

Lao Chen touched his hair and rubbed it very embarrassedly, and then he thought of the real purpose of Teacher Gao and Zhang Tianyuan coming here today, not to bring him cigarettes. Or listen to him chattering here, people are still going to move forward with those antiques and antiques at home.

Hearing Lao Chen say this, Mr. Gao was relieved. He looked back at the young man on the bed and said, "Xiao Qian, your father has a bad reputation. That's because when he sells antiques, he sells them cheaply. And after selling the money, it didn't use it on the right path. You are different from him, you are here to live a better life, and if you have money in the future, as long as you don't spend it indiscriminately, besides, the price we give will definitely not treat you badly, you better think about it again, this is not a bad thing, you are not in good health now, and your children are short of money for school, can you bear to let him live like this?"

"Teacher Gao, don't say anything, sell! I'll sell! As long as the price is right, I'll sell! For the sake of the child, I don't care, anyway, this house is about to be demolished, I can't take those things away like this, in case someone else gets it, I can't catch up." ”

Xiao Qian on the bed seemed to be moved by Mr. Gao's words, with a resolute expression on his face, and nodded fiercely, it seems that this decision is really very difficult for him.

"Lao Chen, I heard it, Xiao Qian said that it can be sold, this cold day, it's not easy for us to come here, hurry up and take out the things." ”

Zhang Tianyuan looked at Xiao Qian, then at Lao Chen, and then at the child, and felt some confusion in his heart. I heard Mr. Gao say that this Xiao Qian is very reluctant to sell, and he can't say all the good things, why did he agree to it all of a sudden now? But this is really a bit unlike, if this qiē is fake, then these people can really go to the Oscar.

Lao Chen stood up and turned out two chairs from the room inside, this chair was well protected, and it was wrapped in straw, and when he took it out, Lao Chen carefully took the straw away from it and said, "You two don't need to worry, things won't fly with wings, you all come and take a look." ”

Hearing Lao Chen's words, Zhang Tianyuan immediately stood up, and after all the straw was removed, Zhang Tianyuan recognized the types of these two chairs, there are many types of chairs in China's ancient furniture, including treasure chairs, hand chairs, circle chairs, official hat chairs, backrest chairs, rose chairs, etc., among which the official hat chair is also divided into two types: the south official hat chair and the four-out official hat chair.

And the two chairs that Lao Chen took out are the four-headed official hat chairs, and they are also authentic Huanghuali chairs, this kind of chair is very valuable now.

The official hat chair is named after its shape that resembles the official hat of ancient officials. There are two types of official hat chairs: the south official hat chair and the four-out official hat chair. The so-called four heads, in essence, are the two ends of the back chair, the front end of the left and right armrests, and the back panel is mostly "S" shaped, and it is made of a full plate. The characteristics of the Nanguan hat chair are that the soft rounded corners are made at the junction of the back column and the brain, and the cigarette pouch pot method is made by the column as the tenon and tenon, and the beam is used as the tenon and tenon.

The back of the chair is made into an "S" shape using a whole page, and there is also a border paneling method, which is carved with patterns and is beautiful and generous. There are many styles of crowns and hats in ancient times, but the most familiar ones are common in books and on the stage, that is, the head with ornaments in the Ming Dynasty's "Three Cai Tuhui". The head is divided into feet and angles, but regardless of which one, they are all low in the front and high in the back, and they are obviously divided into two parts. If you compare the so-called official hat chair with it, especially from the side of the chair, then the armrests are slightly like the front of the hat, and the back of the chair is slightly like the back of the hat, and the two are somewhat similar. Some people also think that the two ends of the chair are out, like the legs of the official hat, commonly known as "yarn hat wings". Hence the name.

This argument seems to be untenable.

Because of the further distinction of the official hat chair, there are "four heads", that is, the head and armrests are out and the "south official hat" is different.

And the so-called "Nanguan hat chair" is nowhere to go. It can be seen that it is called the official hat. It's not about coming out or not coming out.

The so-called "early four" refers to the chair at both ends of the head. The front end of the left and right handrails is the traditional title of folk carpentry. From vulgar to elegant, it has later become the standard name for this type of chair. It is also called the handrail, and the one that does not come out of the head is "two heads", which is also a folk name. The four-headed official hat chair is a kind of chair with the head sticking out of the head and armrests, and this form of chair was formed in the Song and Yuan dynasties. In Datong Huayan Temple, there are four armchairs in the furniture unearthed from the tomb of Yan Deyuan in the Jin Dynasty, although it can not be called the official hat chair, but its shape is simple and lovely, and the four heads should belong to the same category. The early four is a typical Ming-style chair. It was a status symbol back then, and so it is today. As mentioned earlier, it is also in the early fours, and its style and taste are also high and low.

If I am not mistaken, these two chairs should be chairs of the Ming Dynasty, of course, this is just Zhang Tianyuan's preliminary judgment, and it is not used to identify in detail using the six-character formula.

The Ming Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair came from the Ming Dynasty period in China. It belongs to the typical Ming style furniture, its shape is concise, but the law is rigorous, and the proportion is moderate. The Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair looks bland. But it is full of ingenuity, no matter how big or small, all of them are scheming. Its features are not in the decoration. And in the component is thin and the curvature is large.

The two chairs look exactly the same and should be a pair. The patterns carved on it are all indistinguishable in the slightest, although the carvings on them are simple and not too complicated. But it looks natural.

This Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair is rarely decorated. A relief pattern on the backing plate is enclosed by clouds and double leeches. Another subtle carving is a small cloud carved on the door of the kettle. The characteristics of this Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair are not in the decoration, but in the thin components and large curvature. Curved and thin elements must be made of coarse timber to be dug out.

The two chairs could have been made quite stout, but on the basis of the same size, at that time, they did not hesitate to spend materials to cut them into a special effect of slenderness and softness. The structure is also characterized by its front and rear legs, the hind legs are directly extended to the head, and the front legs support the goose neck.

These two pieces of Ming Huang Huali four-headed official hat chairs belong to typical Ming-style furniture, with concise shapes, but rigorous laws and moderate proportions. It seems to be plain, but it is full of ingenuity, no matter how big or small, all of them are scheming. It makes full use of the modeling language, the lines are straight and straight, and the square is round. For example, the handling of the brain, tactful and gentle, does not show the corners of the line, but is decent, and the handling of the early four is clean and neat, showing its combination of rigidity and softness.

At the same time, the two chairs make full use of the advantages of Huanghuali material, the wood is hard, the color is not quiet or noisy, and the texture is hidden or visible, vivid and changeable. The design concept of Ming-style furniture reflects the aesthetic concept of dynamic and static, rigid and soft, which is better than the aesthetic concept in China.

People use Huanghuali to make furniture, most of them use the whole body light element, without carving the method, fully highlight its natural texture, and exude a light fragrance when it is cloudy. It is rumored that the dragon chariot in the Qing Dynasty was made of rosewood, and most of the dignitaries and nobles of the past dynasties were also the first choice for furniture materials, so it is reasonable that the ancient rosewood furniture is favored by collectors now.

"Tsk, these two chairs look really interesting, it seems that this time it was not in vain!"

After Zhang Tianyuan looked at the two chairs carefully, he was really a little interested in such furniture. So while talking, he used the word recognition trick to identify, if this is true, then it must be bought, the money is not a problem, the key is that as long as the thing is true, the price is not too excessive.

Generally speaking, the older the furniture, the more difficult it is to preserve, now there are more furniture in the Republic of China on the market, even the Qing Dynasty is rare, if it is the antique furniture of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more rare.

And these two chairs are in the early four official hats of the Ming Dynasty, and they are real, and they are so well preserved, and even better is that the two chairs that came out are exactly a pair. As I said before, this porcelain, calligraphy and painting are all like this, often the more pairs are paired, the more valuable they are, and if it is a complete set, the value is often several times more expensive than a single thing.

"How can it be in vain, I have already said that these things in our house, they are all genuine, I persuaded him to sell them a long time ago, and if you have money, you can do anything, and you have to keep it there, and you have to spend money. (To be continued......)
