Chapter 632: Zigang Paragraph Kui Phoenix Pattern Jade
John. Karui led Li Yi into a room at the end of the corridor, the room was about fifty square meters, and was arranged like an exhibition room, in addition to about twenty or thirty oil paintings hanging on the four walls, there was also a long two-story staircase-shaped booth in the middle, which was full of various antiques, almost more than 100 pieces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Li Yi, I have already asked people to pick out all the items you like, and the rest are basically here, anyway, there is still time, you can take your time."
Li Yi nodded, his eyes swept over the coffee table in front of the sofa in the corner of the room, and the collection in the photos he picked out before was placed here.
"This ......"
Li Yi first read the "Bellyache Sticker", because he was really a little curious, who could imitate Zhang Xu so similarly, but his reputation was not obvious.
It's just that this work is indeed a bit strange, because if you look at the paper alone, this paper looks very much like the jade board paper produced in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the oldest rice paper, and judging from the ink, it should definitely not be written in modern times......
After carefully studying the seal on the top of the paper, Li Yi shook his head, this position should be a collection seal, but this is also in line with the situation of this "Bellyache Sticker", because Zhang Xu should not be narcissistic enough to leave a seal and a signature on a self-diagnosed medical case, but what is the reason why this calligraphy is so intact, but this seal is broken and fragmented?
Sighing softly, he activated the spirit identification card, and then raised his eyebrows, this is really Zhang Xu's real work!
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Li Yi gently put the calligraphy aside, and carefully observed the many seals on the stele of the "Holy Lady of the Lady", and after confirming that this was a genuine product, he picked up the white jade seal of the "Linyou Phoenix Dance" imperial treasure Jiaolong button......
"John. Mr. Karui, there is nothing wrong with these pieces, but what about the Ming Dynasty's golden cloud dragon pattern vermilion lacquer top box? ”
Li Yi didn't know the exact size of the box, but judging from the photos, it should be a big guy, and there were indeed no jewelry boxes in these collections that matched the characteristics.
"The box is somewhere else, but I've sent someone to pick it up, and it should be delivered soon."
"Well, these things are precious, but they shouldn't be as valuable as the Scream. Mr. Karui, can I take a look at the rest of your collection? ”
John. Karui reached out and made a gesture of please, then took the "Bellyache Patch" and frowned.
Li Yi first walked around the room, on the wall, there are a total of 26 oil paintings of different styles, of which only Li Yi can recognize the master-level works as many as 8, the rest, because he did not use the spirit card, I don't know how many are art treasures, but to be able to be listed with the master-level works, I think it will not be too bad.
After reading the oil painting, Li Yi shifted his attention to the booth, skipping the two Western antiques and reaching out to pick up the third antique.
This is a piece of Hetian blue and white jade carved phoenix pattern jade, about 10 centimeters high, about 7 centimeters in diameter, composed of two parts, the body and the lid, it looks very similar to the cup we use now.
On the body of the vessel, there are carved with the pattern of kui, the phoenix pattern and the pattern of hook cloud, the center of the cover is a round button, and there are three lions that look back at the embossed carving around. There are three animal head-shaped feet carved at the bottom of the jade wedge, and there is a ring-shaped handle on the outer wall, and the elephant-shaped button is carved on the handle, and the elephant trunk is naturally bent inward to form a ring.
卮 is a kind of wine vessel, which was first seen at the end of the Warring States period, and was used in parallel in the Qin period, and was more popular in the Han Dynasty. However, after the Han Dynasty, very few real wine bottles have been found, and this exquisite jade slug, even if there is no professional knowledge, it can be seen that it is absolutely impossible to be a thing of the Han Dynasty, and from the clumsy lines of the Kui Feng ornament, Li Yi vaguely saw a little familiar shadow, could it be that this is Lu Zigang's work?
Li Yi is no stranger to Lu Zigang's works, on the contrary, because he has a white jade cup and a real Zigang jade plate, he is quite familiar with some of Lu Zigang's techniques, and in his opinion, this jade is likely to be the work of this master.
Different from ordinary jade carvers, most of Lu Zigang's jade carving works have left a sense of style, but the location of many of them is a bit unexpected, Li Yi first carefully checked the lid of the cup, and then checked the body of the cup, and even the inner wall of the annular handle has been seen, and no money has been found, I can't help but be a little puzzled, is it a look?
Activating the spirit identification card, a cool air flowed through, and Li Yi's brows furrowed even tighter, this is a jade carved by Lu Zigang, but, where did this guy leave his knowledge? Or is this a piece of Zioka jade without money?
Shaking his head, he was about to put things down, when suddenly his heart moved, he turned the jade wedge over, stared at the end of the elephant's trunk for a while, and couldn't help laughing, this guy is really cunning, he would actually think of making a fuss on the elephant's nostrils!
In this jade, the elephant's trunk is naturally bent into a ring, forming a large and a small one with the handle, one up and one down two rings, but after the elephant trunk is bent, it is not completely in contact with the handle, but between the two, leaving a gap of about three or four millimeters.
And the style is to take advantage of this gap of less than half a centimeter, which was carved by Lu Zigang on the nose of the elephant's trunk, but the traces are very shallow, I think it is because it is not very easy to use force, and the tool is not too handy. Li Yi guessed that he should have used a kind of carving knife with a curved front to inscribe repeatedly, so that the words "Zigang" were left on it.
This is really too tricky, because if you can't think of it, even if you notice this gap, the angle is not right, you can't see the style at all, so even if it is inferred from the carving that it may be Lu Zigang's work, it will be regarded as suspicious because of the style, and its value is likely to be greatly reduced......
However, Li Yi likes this way of dealing with it, because if John. If Karui hadn't discovered this secret, wouldn't he have taken advantage of it when they haggled?
No sooner had they put the jade in place than there was a soft knock at the door, and then the door opened, and Edmund, who had been separated from them from Oslo, walked in, followed by a young man with a large cardboard box in his hand.
"Mr. Li Yi, the wooden box you asked for is here."
"Oh?"
Li Yi walked quickly to the door, carefully took out the cardboard box, and then removed a layer of soft animal fur on the outside of the box, only to feel that his eyes suddenly lit up, what a beautiful wooden box! (To be continued.) )
