Chapter 286: [Questioning] (First Update)

"You're really not a liar?"

This little Lori was quite suspicious, and looked at Qin Fan suspiciously, as if she wanted to see a flower on Qin Fan's face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it's no wonder that Song Xiaoyu is suspicious, the situation of the Song family is indeed a bit difficult during this time, and some people take advantage of the fire to rob and bully their sisters who don't know how to do it and buy the antiques treasured by the Song family at a low price. This thing in their hands is the last hope of the Song family, if they are deceived by someone, there is really no place to cry.

"Don't worry, my brother is a serious expert, and he won't deceive people."

"Hmph, that's what those liars said." Song Xiaoyu pouted and snorted.

Qin Fan's face was full of black lines, this little girl is really not easy to fool.

"I'm sorry, my sister is too willful."

Song Zixuan hurriedly apologized to Qin Fan, took out a copper incense burner full of plaster from the wooden brocade box and put it on the table in front of him.

From the style point of view, this copper incense burner is one of the Ming Dynasty copper furnace fixed type of bridge ear type, with three legs at the bottom. Generally speaking, in ancient times, this kind of incense burner was used in places where the scriptures were preached, such as Guozijian.

Because the shape of the incense burner in the Ming Dynasty was developed from the bronze tripod, and the round tripod was three-legged, the incense burner in the Ming Dynasty was basically three-legged.

Judging from the appearance and style of this copper incense burner, it does look like an ancient thing.

However, as far as Qin Fan knows, among all ancient Chinese artworks, the copper furnace is the easiest to imitate, as long as there is a template, a large number of imitations can be cast according to this template, and the imitation of the copper furnace is basically not out of shape, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Therefore, in the antique market, the copper incense burners of the Ming and Qing dynasties are very large, but most of them are fakes imitated by later generations, and there is not much collection value.

Moreover, the copper stove brought by the Song sisters was full of plaster, the color was a little dull, and the appearance was terrible.

No wonder Song Zixuan ran so many antique shops, and no one was willing to accept this copper incense burner, even if someone was interested in the copper incense burner, the price given was very low.

Qin Fan wore gloves and checked the weight of the copper incense burner, feeling that the copper incense burner in his hand seemed to be much heavier than the ordinary incense burner, and it was particularly heavy in his hand, and the texture was perfectly different from the ordinary brass incense burner.

Turn this copper incense burner over, and write the words "Xuande Year System" under the incense burner.

"Hey, it's another Xuande furnace."

Qin Fan remembered that he had come across a low-imitation Daming Xuande furnace in Dong's house before, and this kind of imitation Xuande furnace was extremely common in the antique market, but at least ninety-nine of the hundred pieces were fakes imitated by modern technology.

In history, there are roughly four imitation periods of Xuande furnace.

The first period is the current dynasty, that is, except for the 18,000 Xuande furnaces ordered by Emperor Xuande, all the folk casts are imitations. However, from today's point of view, as long as it is cast in Xuande this year, it can be regarded as a genuine Xuande furnace.

The second period is the period of the rise of the collecting craze in the late Ming Dynasty, the third period is the prosperous Kangqian period, and the fourth period is the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

It's just that the quality of the Xuande furnace manufactured from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China is relatively poor and easy to distinguish.

Today, the antique market is flooded with a large number of imitations of Xuande furnaces, and some high-quality imitations are very exquisitely cast, which can be completely fake.

"Expert Qin, is this copper incense burner an antique or not, and how much is it worth?"

Song Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw Qin Fan holding this copper incense burner and studying it for a long time, and didn't say why. If this copper incense burner was not valuable, then they could only sell the house where they had lived for most of their lives and treat their father's illness.

"yes, you're not going to be able to do it. If not, return the things quickly, and we'll go to the old white-bearded man for identification. Song Xiaoyu was a little impatient, and couldn't wait to know how much this copper incense burner was worth.

"Don't worry, just now you said that you took this copper incense burner to some antique shops to find someone to identify, what is the appraisal result?"

Qin Fan put down the copper incense burner in his hand, looked up at Song Zixuan's eyes and said.

"I went to a few antique shops and asked, and they said that a copper incense burner like this one is worth three or five thousand yuan if it is of better quality, and someone asked for four thousand yuan to buy this incense burner, but I didn't agree."

A few thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket for the Song family, who owes huge debts, and after running so many antique shops, Song Zixuan has long lost hope. This time, she came to the treasure appraisal conference just to try her luck.

I see.

In the antique world, the identification of Xuande furnace is an unsolved case. There is no expert in the world who can accurately tell you the authenticity of a Xuande furnace, and the appraisers of those antique shops are naturally difficult to distinguish.

"This incense burner ......"

Qin Fan was about to tell Song Zixuan about the appraisal results, but he suddenly stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

When his treasure pupils stared at the copper incense burner in front of him, he actually saw a five-colored treasure light blooming on it.

Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen this kind of magnificent five-colored treasure light on an antique. This copper incense burner is only a treasure.

"Expert Qin, is there anything wrong with this copper incense burner?"

Song Zixuan noticed that Qin Fan's expression was a little strange, and her face couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"Ahem, no problem." Qin Fan came back to his senses and forcibly calmed down the excitement in his heart. If he sees it correctly, this copper incense burner should be the famous genuine Xuande furnace.

However, the trouble is that the identification of the Xuande furnace is a major problem in the antique world, even if he is sure that this is the real Xuande furnace, I am afraid there is no way to prove it to others.

"Congratulations, this copper incense burner is indeed an antique, and it is likely to be the famous Xuande furnace in history."

"Xuande Furnace?"

Song Zixuan has heard of the name of Xuande furnace, but the specific value of this Xuande furnace is not clear.

"As for the specific price, I can't say it for a while. However, I can give you some reference information, in this year's Xuande furnace auction of Guardian Auction Company, a total of 21 Xuande furnaces collected by Wang Shixiang were auctioned for a total of 11.79 million, one of which was sold for 1.66 million yuan. ”

The Xuande furnaces auctioned in the auction are basically high imitations of later generations, and there are very few incense burners in the Xuande Dynasty. The treasure light of this Xuande furnace in Song Zixuan's hand is undoubtedly a high-quality Xuande furnace in Qin Fan's opinion.

If it is placed in the international market, the price should be around 3 million. After a few years, the price may even rise to more than 10 million.

"Can this incense burner be worth more than a million?"

Song Zixuan's face was full of surprise, and she felt that her heartbeat had accelerated a little. She originally thought that this copper incense burner would be worth 30,000 or 50,000 at most, but she didn't expect this to be really a treasure?

"This is only a conservative estimate, if it is entrusted to the auction company for auction, the final transaction price is likely to be no less than 3 million."

Qin Fan was also very interested in the Xuande furnace in Song Zixuan's hand, and wondered if there was a chance to buy it from her, and by the way, he could also help the Song family.

"What kind of cowhide to brag, can this broken incense burner be worth millions? I am not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue. ”

Hearing Qin Fan's appraisal results, some people among the onlookers immediately raised questions.

There are many antique copper incense burners like this in antique shops, ranging from hundreds to thousands, and they are much more beautiful than the broken incense burner in Song Zixuan's hand.

"I'll just say what real skills such a young expert can have, just grandstanding."

"That's right, if her broken incense burner is worth millions, my toilet will be a priceless antique."

"If there is no hair on the mouth, I think this expert is blindly appraising. Just now my heirloom was also identified as a fake by him, why is this broken incense burner real? ”

At the scene of the treasure appraisal conference, almost no one except the Song sisters believed Qin Fan's appraisal results. Some treasures were identified by Qin Fan as collectors of fakes, and vented their resentment on him, and said sneeringly.

"Xiao Qin, what's going on here, why are you still arguing with people?"

Teacher Ma and Old Man Chen Zhimu noticed Qin Fan's movement and walked over.

Qin Fan smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "Teacher Ma, I didn't quarrel with anyone. It was these Tibetans who didn't believe my results. ”

"Oh? What the hell is going on, Xiao Qin, I know your appraisal ability, old man, how can anyone question your appraisal results. ”

After asking, the old man Chen Zhimu knew what happened, and it turned out that it was all caused by the suspected Xuande furnace brought by the Song sisters.

"Expert Chen, it's not that we're messing around. We suspect that this young man is blind to identification, and he says that this incense burner is worth millions, do you think this is possible? ”

"That's right, young people nowadays really do anything to be famous, and these two girls may be the ones he invited."

"Not to mention anything else, if this incense burner is really worth so much money, it will be okay to let the men eat!"

Faced with the doubts of so many Tibetan friends, Chen Lao frowned. He had known Qin Fan for so long and knew that Qin Fan was not that kind of person. But whether the Xuande furnace in the hands of the Song sisters is real or not, he is really a little unsure.

"Don't be so excited, I believe that expert Xiao Qin will not deliberately give the wrong identification results. Whether this incense burner is real or fake, let the experts identify it together. ”

As soon as Chen Lao said this, those Tibetan friends who questioned Qin Fan immediately had nothing to say.

Then, Mr. Ma and several experts who studied the Xuande furnace got together to identify this copper incense burner.

"What's the matter, Mr. Ma, do you have any results?"

After more than ten minutes, someone couldn't help but ask Mr. Ma about the identification results of this Xuande furnace.

The two sisters, Song Zixuan and Song Xiaoyu, were worried in their hearts, and their palms were sweaty, as if they were waiting for the final verdict.

"I'm sorry, the opinions of the experts are not unanimous, Chen Lao and I think this Xuande furnace is genuine, while several other experts think that it is a fake."

As soon as this statement came out, the identification of this Xuande furnace came to an impasse.
