Before Jin Muchen could take out the silver wine jug from the backpack behind him, the old man had already put on his glasses, and at the same time took out professional weighing tools, while constantly rubbing his hands, his eyes were also full of fanaticism.

It looked like the eager expressions of those children in the kindergarten who were waiting for the teacher to share the fruits, and Jin Muchen only felt a burst of amusement when he saw it.

This Darren also saw the smile on Jin Muchen's face, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Haha, I guess the old man also told you, my ancestors were in the antique silverware business, although I have been out of this business for many years, but sometimes you also know that there will inevitably be some ...... Well, how to say, in the words of you Chinese, it is a technical itch! ”

I didn't expect this old man to be a Chinese expert, and he even knew such a professional word as skill itching.

Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to discuss the application of vocabulary with him, seeing his anxious appearance, he couldn't bear to stay up with him, so he took out the silver wine jug from the backpack behind him.

As soon as the silver wine jug appeared, the old man's expression was completely gone, and he completely lost his previous giggling appearance, but became extremely strict and serious.

When he reached out and took the wine jug from Jin Muchen's hand, Jin Muchen could really feel that the old man's hand was trembling a little.

After the old man took the wine jug, he did not rush to measure it and weigh it, but took the wine jug to his eyes, and kept carefully looking at the patterns on the wine jug and carving it.

The flask is about 30 centimeters high. The abdominal diameter can be about 15 centimeters. It's a big set. The lid is all there, and it is in good condition.

The old man took the pad in his hand, then carefully examined the lion logo on the neck of the flask, and then began to carefully examine the shape of Cupid on the bottle of the flask, especially the things that Cupid was holding in his hand.

He looked very carefully, Jin Muchen looked at him with a solemn expression, and he didn't rush to ask, just let him watch quietly.

Honestly, the pattern on this flask. He had studied it carefully, but he didn't find any clues, because the things Cupid was holding on the jug were so weird.

Most of the Cupid patterns he had seen before were holding bows and arrows, but the Cupid on this flask was holding coffee tree branches, lion masks, or things like shells and leaves, and he had never seen much of this cupid.

The old man looked at it for a long time, then let out a long sigh. He put down the flask in his hand.

"Where did you get this flask? How much did it cost? ”

"This? This flask was brought to my shop by a customer yesterday and was with a set of silverware. ”

"What? A full set of silverware? Is that the same style of silverware? ”

This Darren looked a little excited when he heard this. Jin Muchen couldn't help but be even more strange at this time, could it be that this wine jug is a treasure with a great background?

"No, no, those silverware are a 1913 tea set from Tiffany's, and there's only one flask of this style."

Hearing Jin Muchen say this, the old man reached out and patted his chest.

"Haha, you kid scared me to death, such a precious thing, if you can collect one, it's already a great luck, I thought you were so lucky that you could collect a set."

"Why, is this silverware of great origin?"

Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask, and at the same time wanted the old man to forget about how much money he had collected this wine jug.

After all, he knew that this flask was a great treasure, but if the old man knew that he had only spent a total of three thousand dollars to collect such a silverware, it would probably cause a sensation in the antique circles of New York again.

After being charged protection money a few days ago, he now knows the truth of the tree, and the one who opens an antique shop is different from those who do other businesses, so it is better to keep a low profile, so as not to be blushing when people know about it.

"Big deal? Hum! It's not just a big one, boy, do you know whose work this flask is? ”

When the old man heard Jin Muchen ask this, he thought that he was a pure layman, and he felt a little angry that he could have such luck.

Jin Muchen shook his head, aren't you talking nonsense, if I knew, why did I come to you?

"This is Paul. Rami Fever's work. ”

"What? Paul. Rami Fever's work? ”

Jin Muchen was also stunned when he heard this, he has been in the antique business for a while, especially Western antiques, and he probably knows a lot about Western antiques, and there are several sets of silverware he handles.

Paul. Rami Fever's name, if he doesn't know, then his antique career is simply in vain.

This Paul. Lamière was a master of antique silversmithing in the 18th century, and his name in the silversmith industry is almost the equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci's existence in the world of oil painting.

For many silversmiths, this Paul. Rami is their ancestor, and this guy's status in the silversmith industry is somewhat equivalent to Luban's status in the carpenter industry.

I can't say the same, I can only say that it's about the same, but it's just a little bit worse.

And that little bit is because Luban is the originator of this industry for many carpenters, and Paul. For silversmiths, Lami is one of the few masters in the industry who can establish a school.

Paul. Born in 1688, Lamière began to learn silversmithing with Huguenot Pierre Platel in 1703 and began to create independently in 1711.

Six years later, Ramie became the royal silversmith for his mastery of silversmithing.

One of his most successful creations was a silver coffee pot called George II, which was created by Lami during the heyday of the Rococo and was crafted for a businessman at the time.

And a few hundred years later, a few years ago, in 13 Christie's auctions in London, the silver coffee pot made the history of the entire silver antique auction, selling for £4.5 million, making it the most expensive coffee pot in history.

From then on, Paul was laid in one fell swoop. Ramier's place in the world of antique silverware, his creations, from where they have been, have never been more popular than ever.

Now listening to Darren, when he said this, Jin Muchen was already dumbfounded, he never thought that this wine jug was actually Paul. Rami Fever's work.

The current silverware, as long as it is stained with the name of this master, it is as if it has been opened by the archmage, and its value will immediately double!

Now there was a thought in his mind, what should be the current price of this wine jug?

But soon he came to his senses, he coughed dryly, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and then asked Darren calmly: "I am really happy that you can say this, but Darren, I have been studying this wine jug for a long time, but I haven't seen any clues." I want to ask how you can conclude that he is Paul. What about Rami fever's works! ”

At this time, Darren's attention was still all on the masterpiece in front of him, as an appraiser from an antique silversmith family, it was also an honor and a rare opportunity for him to see the work of a master like Ramie at this time.

Hearing Jin Muchen's question, Darren turned his head, and then explained to Jin Muchen: "You look at the coffee tree system that Cupid is holding, and these shells he is holding, and this lion mask, here...... And here...... You look at this curve, it doesn't look like the letter P, and here, you look at the curve here doesn't look like the letter L......"

Darren pointed out the place where he saw the clue to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen took a closer look, hey, don't say it, the curve of this statue part is really as Darren said, it is the letter P and the letter L.

These two letters, not that Paul. Is the initials of Lami's name abbreviated?

In fact, many European artists hundreds of years ago liked to hide the beginning of their names in their works, as this Lami did in the way that Guò shaped curves.

In the past, Jin Muchen thought that only those painters liked to do this, but he didn't expect that today it was an eye-opener, and even silversmiths like to do it.

"I'm sure it's Paul. Ramier's work is not only the initials of his name, but also the statue of the body of the pot. Another important reason is that one of my ancestors was the same Paul back then. Mr. Lamy's apprentice. This work was created by Mr. Lamige in 1740, in his old age, when my ancestors studied beside him, and every work he created is recorded. This flask once appeared in the diary left by our ancestors...... It's just that the whereabouts of this flask disappeared later, but I didn't expect it to reappear here today......"

When Darren said this, although he didn't say that he was in tears, he was also full of emotion, and Jin Muchen knew that he was not lying when he looked at him.

But at this time, he was more concerned about a very cheesy question, that is, how much can this flask be worth now?

But looking at Darren's current appearance, he couldn't ask what he said, because he was afraid that he would be disgusted by Darren for being too vulgar, and then spit on himself.

But fortunately, these Western antique dealers are very practical, unlike some Chinese players who are sophisticated, and he reached out and picked up the flask and put it in front of his eyes.

"According to the current popularity of Rami Fever's works on the market, as well as the condition of your flask, if it is auctioned, the final transaction price of your flask should not be less than 2.5 million pounds, and I estimate that the final transaction price should be between 2.5 million and 3 million pounds!"
