Chapter 8: A Wonderful Flaw
Zhou Xuan's abrupt words made Uncle Liu stunned.
Following Wu Cheng, his eyebrows jumped, and the expression on his face changed.
Chen Sanyan and Xu Wangcai looked at each other for a moment, and there was a trace of doubt in their eyes.
Zhou Xuan didn't know who Li Kuanfu was, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but say it.
He said this casually, but the other four people had their own tastes and different expressions.
Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the Jigongshi again and looked at it carefully, and finally set his eyes on the Jigongshi's abdominal mark, stared with a frown, looked at it and took a magnifying glass out of his bag, and carefully observed the mark on his abdomen.
While looking, he followed the handwriting on the imprint with his hand, and after a long time, he sighed, put down the magnifying glass and said bitterly: "Old Wu, I'm out of sight!" ”
Wu Cheng's face changed greatly, he grabbed the Ji Gong Stone and looked at the light carefully, but he still didn't see anything for a long time, frowned and asked, "Lao Liu, what do you mean?" In Yangzhou, I also showed it to the old man Shen who remembered Liuzhai, and his appraisal was also certain, it was Yang Xuan's heirloom work. ”
Wu Cheng has lived for almost sixty years, and he has been rolling in this industry for forty or fifty years, and he has a superb antique foundation, plus he has been identified by Taishan Beidou-like characters in the industry before, so he bought it, and he has always been proud of himself, Uncle Liu's words naturally made him feel like a thorn in his heart.
Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "Old Wu, look at the words on the imprint again, and take a good look at the penmanship and lines on the imprint." ”
Wu Cheng took the magnifying glass with a dark face and examined the marks on Ji Gongshi's abdomen carefully.
Uncle Liu stared at Zhou Xuan with his eyes, his eyes full of doubts.
Just now Zhou Xuan suddenly came out of his mouth that "Li Kuanfu" is not an ordinary person, the domestic carving industry is known as the South King and North Qian, the South King Zuguang, the North Qian ** is the folk carving industry Taishan Beidou, but this Li Kuanfu also sighed to himself, but Li Kuanfu's carving skills are at the peak, but he is strange, never with this circle, self-satisfaction, his works are never passed on, is that the people do not know that he is a person, and only a few people in the industry know about him.
Li Kuanfu likes to imitate the works of ancient and modern masters in the scene, because of his extraordinary skills, the imitation works are almost chaotic, but he also has a characteristic, that is, he will leave a small feature on the imitation of the works, in order to show that they are imitations.
Uncle Liu is a veteran of the antique world, and he knows about Li Kuanfu, but when he heard Zhou Xuan say this, he immediately became suspicious, and then made an inspection of Ji Gongshi, and sure enough, he saw the flaws!
Wu Cheng looked at it under the magnifying glass for a long time, his hesitant expression, thought about it and handed it to Xu Wangcai: "Old Xu, you can take a look again." ”
Xu Wangcai had already identified it in Yangzhou, and Uncle Liu's words made him a little suspicious, so he took the Jigong stone and carefully inspected the mark.
Xu Wangcai didn't feel any flaws after looking at it for a long time, whether it was the imprint or the stone and color, the phase, it was undoubtedly Yang Xuan's work, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "Lao Liu, no matter how you look at it, I think this is genuine, Brother Chen, take a look!" ”
Chen Sanyan took the light and looked at the color, checked the imprint, and finally shook his head and said: "I also think it's genuine, hehe, Uncle Liu, you can talk about it!" ”
Uncle Liu sighed again and said: "This work, whether it is the stone age, color, and carving skills, it is the best choice, and the imprint is the same as Yang Xuan's font, at first I was sure that this is Yang Xuan's hand-me-down, but then this Zhou Xuan's little brother said 'Li Kuanfu, 2009', I was taken aback, and then looked at the imprint carefully, sure enough, there is a flaw, but it is too coincidental, even the top appraiser is estimated to fall into the game, you look carefully at the imprint, look at the imprint' The word 'jade' in 'Jade Xuan'! ”
Xu Wangcai, Chen Sanyan, and Wu Cheng all squeezed their heads together to observe the imprint of the chicken stone again.
Yang Xuan, the word Yuxuan, a person in the Kangxi period, has outstanding statue skills, and is known as the originator of Shoushan stone carving, and most of the imprints in his works are left with the word "Yuxuan".
After getting Uncle Liu's prompt, the three of them finally saw the peculiarities in the imprint font.
Wu Cheng's face immediately turned white and gray, and he was stunned.
Uncle Liu sighed: "Li Kuanfu I know this person, arrogant and proud, but there is indeed hard work under his hands, his imitation works have a characteristic, although the work can be fake and real, but the subtle characteristics he made are also a distinct mark, this piece of high-quality Shou Shan Tian Huang male rooster carving from the year color, carving knife work are flawless, the only flaw is in the name of the 'Yuxuan' left. ”
Listening to Uncle Liu's brilliant words, Zhou Xuan also got closer to listen to him.
Uncle Liu was much kinder to Zhou Xuan at this time, nodded to him, and then said: "Actually, if you look closely, the point in the word 'jade' in the name of 'Yuxuan' is a flaw, I estimate that Li Kuanfu should fall on the word 'Wang Xuan', although Wang Xuan and Yuxuan are only a little different, but outsiders will naturally understand that this is an imitation of the curtain product, that point." ”
Uncle Liu sighed and shook his head: "That point is extremely small, no one will think about it, so it is not easy to see it at all, but if you get a point, it can still be seen, whether it is penmanship and knife skills, it is far from Li Kuanfu, so I think someone should add it." ”
In fact, there is no need for Uncle Liu to say it so clearly at this time, Wu Cheng, Xu Wangcai, and Chen Sanyan all understand that they are all flukes in this industry, as long as they mention it, they will know immediately.
Only Zhou Xuan didn't understand, but Zhou Xuan didn't want to make a fool of himself anymore, just listen to it.
"The stone value of this Shoushan rooster carving itself is between 700,000, plus Li Kuanfu's knife work, it should be about 1.5 million, and Lao Wu buys it back for 3.6 million, and the price is about 2 million!"
Wu Cheng was stunned for a long time, then exhaled a long breath and said: "I didn't expect that most of my life would be pecked by geese when I was old, so let's go!" ”
For a while, my heart was cold and discouraged, and I was stunned.
Uncle Liu persuaded: "Old Wu, I don't need me to tell you the risks of this line, one point of heaven and one point of hell, it's just a loss of eyes, in fact, two million dollars is not fatal to you, if you want to open some, let's learn a lesson, it's really the so-called life to learn from the old, if it weren't for Zhou Xuan's little brother today, wouldn't we all be the same?" ”
Zhou Xuan was in a daze at this time, the chicken stone that Old Man Wu bought back for 3.6 million yuan actually dropped two million in an instant, is this really money or paper? Or did you just have a special dream tonight?
