Chapter 729: The Crooked Kernel Who Likes Chinese Cultural Relics

After packing a few rough stones, Li Yi went to a few stalls next to him and walked around, and didn't see anything worth collecting, so he was ready to turn back to the store area. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, after not taking a few steps, he was attracted by a big guy in a lonely stall on the side.

This is a cloisonné enamel floor-to-ceiling candlestick, about 1.5 meters high. The base of the candlestick is rounded, and the pillar is divided into two sections, connected in the middle by a bulging ball. Without exception, these are covered with a layer of sky blue cloisonné enamel, and the decoration has two kinds of moire and lotus patterns.

At the top of the candlestick is a squatting gold-plated monkey with a tray-like candlestick on its head, the craftsmanship of the whole candlestick is very exquisite, and the workmanship of the cloisonné enamel part is also very exquisite, and what is even more commendable is that even the gold-plated layer on the monkey's body has not fallen off.

It's just funnier that the top end was originally a place to place candles, but now it is equipped with a white light bulb, and there is a wire with a switch hanging from the side, it seems that it should have been changed into a table lamp by someone who doesn't know how to do it!

Li Yi studied it carefully and confirmed that this should be a palace article during the Qianlong period. This kind of candlestick should generally be placed in a certain hall, and judging from the monkey, it should be at least a group of 12, which is exactly 12 zodiac signs.

However, it's already afternoon, even if there are no collectors who have come from China to hunt for treasures today, the owners of the shops next to them should be able to see that they are so open, why can they still stay in the stalls? Especially since this guy is so tall!

Is it very expensive?

Li Yi estimates that there is only this reason.

"Boss, how do you sell this table lamp?"

"Oh, this is what my neighbour just brought me to sell for him for £10,000."

"Just got it?"

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the other things on the boss's stall, all of which were European bronze mirrors, vanity boxes, old wallets and other gadgets, and confirmed that he really didn't understand, so he smiled and took out 10,000 pounds and handed it to him.

It's more expensive, but he's really too lazy to bargain, this thing, just turn it upside down, and it's more than ten or twenty times more than that!

However, after paying the money, Li Yi was worried again with the candlestick, why are the net guys bought today all big guys, it seems that Gu Feng will have to make another trip later!

As soon as he reached the edge of the small square, a middle-aged white man came over, looked the candlestick up and down, and asked very curiously:

"Sir, where did you buy this lamp? How much? ”

"Desk lamp? Why do you ask this? ”

"Oh, yes, I have something similar to this one at home, but it's a pig in the upper spot, so ......"

The man spread his hands and said he was amazed to see something like this here.

He was surprised, and Li Yi was even more surprised.

"Sir, are you sure that lamp in your house looks like this?"

"Yes, if it weren't for a monkey here, I'd think this would be my one."

"Oh buy ga! What a coincidence! I just bought this one in the square and it cost 10,000 pounds. Sir, do you want to sell that one in your house? I'm interested in this kind of stuff. ”

"Oh, you're so cunning, if this lamp were really only 10,000 pounds, I think I'd be interested."

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect to meet someone who knew how to do it. But fortunately, he saw it first, and if it was any later, not to mention that he knew that there was still a pig, he couldn't even buy this monkey.

"Sir, since you only cost 10,000 pounds for this piece, how about you give me 20,000 pounds and give it to me to make a pair?"

When Li Yi heard this, he was happy, buddy didn't have the idea of beating that one in your house, but you were worried about me, quite a chicken thief.

He shook his head and smiled:

"If this lamp were really only 20,000 pounds, I think I'd be more interested than you!"

"Oh? Hahahaha! ”

The man was stunned, laughed a few times, and stretched out his right hand at Li Yi,

"I'm Addams. Cameron, a lover of oriental antiquities, is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Appraiser from the Orient. ”

Li Yi shook his hand and said with a smile:

"I'm Li Yi, and to be honest, I'm really interested in the lamp in Mr. Cameron's house."

"That's right...... So, Mr. Li, do you have time to visit my house? There's more to me than just a desk lamp. ”

"Really?"

Li Yi didn't expect that this candlestick would actually help him catch a big one, so he couldn't help but shake Cameron's right hand vigorously with joy.

"There is time, there is Mr. Cameron's words, even if there is no time, there must be time! It's just that I might have to wait for me a little bit, and I'll see where my companion is...... Hi Gu Feng, this way! ”

Li Yi was about to make a call to Gu Feng when he saw him get out of a taxi and hurriedly greeted him.

After a brief introduction to the two, Li Yi followed Cameron to his home in the western suburbs of London.

Cameron's home is a three-storey country house that is large, estimated to be over 500 square meters, and has a garden of about the same size.

"Tea or coffee?"

Cameron led the two into his villa, and then Li Yi saw the table lamp next to the sofa at a glance, and it was almost exactly the same as the one in his hand!

"Oh, Mr. Li really knows the goods, this table lamp is a collection that my grandfather brought back from France twenty years ago. In fact, our family began to consciously collect some treasures from the Orient when my grandfather was young, and by now, the collection has exceeded 600 Oriental cultural relics! I go to the Porterbalo Road Market almost every week, but in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer good things there. ”

Cameron made tea for the two of them while introducing the situation on his side, judging from this guy's skillful technique, it is really possible to be a Huaxia Tong.

However, since he has been collecting Chinese cultural relics, he must not easily sell these things, so why did he invite him here?

Soon, Li Yi came to a conclusion that made him cry and laugh, this guy was really beating the idea of the candlestick in his hand!

Sure enough, not long after sitting down, Cameron spoke directly,

"Mr. Li, I really like your desk lamp, may I ask, can you transfer it to me?" (To be continued.) )
