The next day was the closing day of the Biennale, which had nothing to do with Li Yi, but because he bought a piece of jewelry at the exhibition, and now that the exhibition is over, the jewelry can also be taken away, so he still made a trip. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And this jewel had already been promised to Luo Guofu by him, so after getting the dream elf, Li Yi called Luo Guofu directly, and then rushed towards the location he indicated. Rogoff's side has already talked about it, and now, only the last guy has not been done.

This antique dealer from Italy, named Marke, has two things in the catalogue that Li Yi checked, one is a bamboo folding fan from the Ming Dynasty, and the other is a set of eight treasures and rare ink, both of which are rare things.

When it comes to folding fans, many people will think that the value of an antique folding fan is mainly reflected in the fan surface, and as for the fan bone, even if it is valuable, its value should be extremely limited.

This statement itself is true, but there are also differences between fan bones and fan bones, and a few of them are sometimes worth more than fans!

Li Yi's fancy is like this, not only the fan surface is precious, but the fan bone is unprecedentedly precious.

Generally speaking, fan bones are mostly made of wood or bamboo, and there are also ivory, tortoiseshell, animal bones, horns and other materials, but the most popular is the bamboo fan.

Because there are many types of bamboo, bamboo fans are divided into spotted bamboo, jade bamboo, palm bamboo, etc., and the most popular spotted bamboo is divided into Xiangfei bamboo, phoenix eye bamboo and Merlot bamboo.

In this last layer of classification, the most sought after by collectors is Xiangfei bamboo, now, a new diameter of 3 cm Xiangfei bamboo folding fan market asking price is more than 10,000 yuan, in 2011, a Ming Dynasty Wax Purple Flower Xiangfei bamboo fan bone is auctioned 1,008,000 soft sister coins of the sky-high price!

Li Yi selected this folding fan, which is a bamboo fan of the Ming Dynasty Purple Flower Xiangfei, this fan also has the original brocade box, and there is an inscription on the box by Chen Banding, a famous painter in modern times and a disciple of Wu Changshuo: "The Ming Dynasty Best Xiangfei Purple Flower Wax Bottom Ruler Thirteen Single Name Fan, Bingyin Spring was stored in Baogu for 800 yuan, and Mei Wanhua snapped up." Half Ding Ji. ”

This Xiangfei bamboo fan bone, judging from the photo, the spotted bamboo round marks, broad square jade, the bottom is like yellow wax, the spot color is deep, it is definitely the gem in the Xiangfei fan bone, and it is described by Chen Banding's inscription that it was expensive at that time, and there is an interesting story of competing with Mei Lanfang to buy, and its preciousness can be seen. It's just that I don't know what happened, and I ended up living overseas.

The fan surface that matches this fan bone is not ordinary, but a "Plum Visiting Friend" made by Xia Gui, a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty and Ma Yuan, who is also known as "Ma Xia", is definitely worth more than 10 million soft girl coins.

In addition to this piece, the origin of another eight-treasure treasure ink is also quite extraordinary, which was made by Hu Kaiwen, a famous Huimo artist during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, called Hu Kaiwen's eight treasures and rare ink.

This set of ink is composed of eight pieces of ink ingots of different shapes, each of which has its own saying, there are three pieces of tablet-shaped ink that are not the same size and style, broken wood-shaped ink, sub-shaped ink, treasure bottle-shaped ink, ancient bell-shaped ink, tongue-shaped ink each, and are packed in a black lacquer gold color double dragon play bead picture box, the center of the box surface is painted with gold Lishu "Eight Treasures and Treasures" five characters, it is a very rare well-preserved scholar's treasure.

When Li Yi arrived, Rogov was bargaining with Marke, and when he introduced Li Yi, he only said that he had hired an appraiser, and he didn't mention Picasso's masterpiece at all.

But Li Yi didn't care, he handed over the painting of Picasso to Rogov, and he had already made up his mind that he would not interfere with what he did, he just needed to be able to exchange for these things he liked.

After a brief introduction, Li Yi picked up the fan bone first.

The fan bone is slightly heavy, the pulp is jade, the real thing is much more beautiful than the photo, and the storage is also very careful, there is no damage at all, Li Yi estimates that if it is auctioned, plus Chen Banding and Mei Lanfang, the price is likely to break the previous auction record of 1.008 million for the fan bone.

The fan surface of the other package on the side is indeed the authentic work of Xia Gui, but the size is slightly inconsistent with this fan bone, and it is obvious that the two are not the original match. However, this does not affect their value, because in the Chinese tradition, the collectible fan bone and fan surface were originally placed separately.

After determining the authenticity of the folding fan, Li Yi picked up a piece of bottle-shaped ink in the Eight Treasures Treasure Ink, which was about 10 centimeters long, 4.5 centimeters wide, and about 1 centimeter thick. The front of the ink is filled with the words "jade pot ice" in the body of the gold li, and the bottleneck of the treasure bottle is filled with the gold script "Xiangyin Zuoshi", and the bottle cap is decorated with a gold treasure lotus flower to set off the Buddha's light pattern. The side ink is in the regular script of Yin script "Huizhou Hucheng Hu Kaiwen made". Not only is it unique, but it is also very beautiful, and it is definitely a rare collection.

After reading the vase-shaped ink, Li Yi checked the other ink ingots one by one, these ink ingots, each of which has the words "Hu Kaiwen made by Hu Kaiwen in Huizhou" in Yin script on the side of each piece, and the picture box also has corresponding grooves, which is indeed the original genuine product.

"Lee, this guy Marc is asking for $2 million for these things, I think the price is a bit outrageous, what do you think?"

Seeing Li Yi nodding to confirm that these items were genuine, Luo Guofu shrugged his shoulders and asked Li Yi to evaluate these things as an appraiser, and his counter-offer had already been sent to Li Yi, a total of 1.2 million US dollars.

Li Yi smiled bitterly, not to mention the other two, just that fan is more than 1.2 million US dollars, and the three together are worth more than 2 million, and now, this guy actually asked him to help press below 1.2 million, isn't this questioning his professionalism?

However, a profession is a profession, and a business is a business, even if Li Yi is high, he is willing to get things cheaper, so after thinking about it for a long time, this guy gave his own price, 1.5 million!

Seeing Luo Guofu's stunned appearance, Li Yi shrugged his shoulders innocently, anyway, these things were exchanged for Picasso's works, and this matter was also carte blanche to Luo Guofu, and the price had nothing to do with him, so why should he be too deceitful?

"Mr. Mark, I heard that you also brought some Chinese antiques this time, may I ask if I can take a look at them?"

"Oh, of course, please follow me!"

Marc smiled and led Li Yi to a room next to him, while Luo Guofu stared at the backs of the two as if he was looking at a pair of adulterers, this damn Li Yi, is he here to help or to destroy?

Unlike Rogov, Marker did not use the form of finding someone to sell the items he brought this time, but contacted several local and Chinese collectors who came to Paris to participate in the Biennale, and it turned out that his success rate in this transaction was far greater than that of consignment sales.

"Except for these few pieces, you can choose anything else. Mr. Li, based on your words just now, I will definitely give you the best price. ”

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, glanced at the few items he said were not for sale, his eyes flashed, he picked up one of the bronzes that seemed to be spoons, and asked:

"Is this an iron?" (To be continued.) )
