In order to buy the cabinet of his choice, he did not hesitate to sell the house

At present, among the art collectors in Nanning, many people spare no effort to collect their favorite artworks. Tang Jianjin, a collector who lives in Jingjiang Park in Ronghe New Town, Nanning City, was talked about in the circle because of a great feat: he sold a high-end house in order to buy a pair of beloved Huanghuali cabinets.

That happened in the second half of 2007, during the China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning. An expert told Tang Jianjin that he happened to have a "good product" in his hand to transfer to Nanning, and told him to seize the time to open his eyes. Tang Jianjin hurriedly went, this was unbelievable, and he immediately fell in love with one of the pairs of huanghuali cabinets, and had the urge to have it. Tang Jianjin said: "This pair of cabinets, both in terms of workmanship and wood, are very high-quality. It looks really beautiful, such a beautiful thing, maybe it's rare to encounter it once in life. If you miss it and don't buy it, you will definitely regret it. ”

The connoisseur told Tang Jianjin that the pair of cabinets would only stay in Nanning for one day, and they would be transferred elsewhere tomorrow. Tang Jianjin was anxious, and hurriedly discussed with his family, and came to the conclusion that "the house is enough to live in, and I regret not buying the cabinet." At that time, Tang Jianjin owned a penthouse with a river view in the Bund New Town in Nanning City, and several buyers asked him to buy it. In order to get the money as much as possible, Tang Jianjin offered a condition that whoever pays the house payment within one day will belong to whoever the house belongs to. When the house is sold in a hurry, the buyer will naturally push down the price. The final transaction price of Tang Jianjin's house was 50,000 yuan less than the market price.

got the money from the sale of the house, Tang Jianjin got his wish and pocketed this pair of beautiful huanghuali carved cabinets. The reporter asked, why did you sell the house and buy back this pair of cabinets? Tang Jianjin said: "In life, in addition to material things, there are many things that are very precious. For individuals, daily necessities such as houses and cars are enough, but the beautiful feeling of collecting is by no means something that houses and cars can achieve. This may also be an expression of the sentiment of some collectors.

Pick up the leaks and find surprises with your knowledge

Speaking of the current antique streets in Nanning, many people will feel that there are no good things, but in fact, this is not absolute. A sensational incident occurred in the Nanning collecting community last year, which originated from the antique street -- a collector was looking for treasures in the antique street on Tangshan Road in Nanning City, and ended up buying an ivory statue of Guanyin from the Ming Dynasty.

In March 7, collector Duan Zhenbo went to Tangshan Road Antique Street to Taobao, and in the corner of an antique shop, Duan Zhenbo found an ivory statue of Guanyin, which fell a lot of dust and his face was a little black. Duan Zhenbo asked the boss to take it out and take a look, chatting with the boss while watching. This ivory Guanyin sits on the mountain stone stretched, on the platform, ties the hair crown, the front of the hair crown is decorated with a sitting Buddha, the nose is small, the face is charitable and slightly smiling, it is a typical Ming Dynasty lady statue. In addition, he also saw that the carving technique was very fine, carved with large tooth tip material, exquisite knife work, and smooth lines. Duan Zhenbo judged that this was likely to be a statue of Guanyin from the Ming Dynasty.

Duan Zhenbo continued to observe quietly, and he found that the slurry of the whole body of the sitting statue was round and shiny, not like it was made artificially. As for the black color on his face, it may have been caused by the previous collector's accident. In the end, Duan Zhenbo relied on his knowledge of artworks to make a judgment and bought this Guanyin seated statue at a price of tens of thousands of yuan.

Back at home, Duan Zhenbo immediately began to check the information, and he found that the seated statue of Guanyin had once been in the collection of the Nanjing Cultural Relics Store. With the help of a friend, he learned that the face of the last collector had been blackened and scrubbed with water after a fire broke out in the home of the previous collector, so that not only did the face be left with black marks, but even the pulp was destroyed. Later, the collector sold the statue of Guanyin to a Nanjing cultural relics store due to the damage caused by the fire. Subsequently, I don't know how many tosses and turns took to get to Nanning.

Duan Zhenbo told reporters that for collectors, eyesight comes from the accumulation of knowledge in ordinary times, and courage comes from confidence in their own appreciation ability. At the same time, you can learn about the stories behind the artworks, which is also the fun of collecting.

Old professor pays "tuition"

"Art collections are subject to tuition." On the evening of January 5, in a private room of the Zhizheng Club in Nanning City, Ye Gong, a collector in his sixties, said solemnly: "The antique shop is not allowed, and no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably suffer." There are too many scammers, and you will be fooled as soon as you pay for it, and the seller is always better than the buyer. He continued: "The collection should have a normal heart, no matter a leaf, a piece of stone, only care about recovering a good mood, feel beautiful you collect it is not wrong, it is worth it." Now he often rides his bicycle out to attend Tibetan gatherings, he loves to collect ancient porcelain, from his "debut" to becoming an independent "expert", he has bought many fakes and paid a lot of tuition fees.

"If you pay too much tuition, your family has a lot of opinions, and you have no status at home." Sitting opposite the reporter, Ye Gong talked about his collection experience with humor. Originally, he was a pedantic look, and even telling jokes was a serious expression, as strict as the ancient porcelain he loved. Ye Gong had a friend who worked in art publishing, and from time to time he would give him a work of art or two, which slowly aroused his interest. In addition, his wife liked to take him to the flower and bird market by Chaoyanggou to see antiques at that time, and when he was lucky, he could pick up one or two pieces of porcelain that were both cheap and a little valuable. After walking a lot, Ye Gong himself often went to the flower and bird market alone, and he was addicted to buying ancient things. After a period of exploration, Ye Gong put the focus of his collection on ancient porcelain.

Among collectors, some people will contribute 20% of their income, while others will invest 50%, depending on the individual. Ye Gong told the reporter that he is a professor engaged in plant research, and now he earns about 3,000 yuan a month, and he takes out 80% of his income in order to collect his favorite porcelain. In the past ten years of hobby collecting, Ye Gong said that he has paid tens of thousands of "tuition". However, he felt that he had gained even more, and through the guò collection, he gained a lot of aesthetic, historical, and humanistic spiritual enjoyment.

Go treasure hunting at the ancient kiln site

When it comes to porcelain, people often think of Jingdezhen. In fact, in ancient Guangxi, there were also many famous kilns at that time, and the porcelain produced was as famous as Jingdezhen today. A porcelain collector from Nanning visited all the ancient kiln sites in Guangxi where fragments had been excavated, and on these ancient ruins, he picked out many porcelain pieces and fragments with beautiful ornamentation.
