"Is that okay?"

When Andre heard what Jin Muchen said so resolutely, he could only agree with a bitter face.

There is no way this table, it is indeed too attractive, according to the old guys in the company's appraisal team, if you are sure that this table is genuine, it will be valuable, so no matter what, the origin of this table must be checked clearly, clearly.

But if it is genuine, then in the process of identification, if there is damage, then the compensation is also sky-high.

The kid in front of him doesn't seem to be easy to fool, so he can only come on his terms.

"Then it's decided, tomorrow you bring your company's experts over."

Jin Muchen said to Andre, Andre nodded, and then didn't stop, just said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, before Jin Muchen got up, Andre came over with Christie's appraisal experts.

This time, there were three people who came, all of them old men with gray hair, among them Paul is an expert in the British royal antiquities, another is Pitt is an expert in wood, and John is an expert in the process of desk manufacturing.

Andre introduced the origins of several old men to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen greeted several old men separately.

"This Paul was specially transferred from the United Kingdom by the company, so this appraisal, you can rest assured, if the thing is true, then this time Mr. Jin, you are going to make a fortune."

Several old men were not interested in Jin Muchen, and at this time, their eyes were all focused on the red desk in the room.

Jin Muchen nodded, he was very confident in this table, he picked this table out of a pile of antiques at the beginning, because of the strong red light that flashed on this table.

At that time, he knew that this table must have a lot of origin, but he didn't expect that this table could still be related to the British royal family.

"You mean that this table was once the property of the British royal family?"

"It's hard to say this, we can't be sure until the appraisal results come out, let's sign the contract first! As for the cost of this appraisal, according to the company's regulations, a total of $50,000 will be charged for the appraisal......"

Andre diverted the topic and said to Jin Muchen, who couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

Nima, why don't you grab it, the appraisal fee will cost 50,000 US dollars, so expensive?

"Hey, Mr. Jin, this is a discount that I have been fighting for a long time with the company's upper management to help you get, otherwise it would not be a small amount just to invite such a few experts, not to mention the previous carbon-14 identification fee or something!"

Andre pretended to be crying and said, Jin Muchen also knew that there must be moisture in his words, but this desk had been placed here for a while.

Together with Uncle Fang, he also checked a lot of information and wanted to find out the origin of this table, but unfortunately one of the two was in and out of the antique industry, and the other was ignorant of Western antiques, so after a few months, he couldn't find out the origin of this table.

Now it seems that we still have to rely on these experts in Western antiques, and the 50,000 yuan will be spent, but if the origin of this table can really be found, it will be worth it.

After all, the collection of antique furniture in the West is more important to inheritance, although the material is also the key to the price of antique furniture, but in comparison, inheritance is more important.

An ordinary table used by a historical celebrity is far more valuable than a desk with high-end materials that has not been inherited.

Jin Muchen gritted his teeth and signed the contract, and just wanted to sign a check for Andre, but was stopped by Andre.

"This, you can wait for the appraisal results to come out, and now sign this contract, this is your unilateral exemption clause, sign it, that is, if there is any damage to this table in the process of dismantling and appraisal, we Christie's will compensate according to the price."

Andre is still credible, Jin Muchen took this exemption clause and looked at it, there is no problem, the main thing is some matters of risk transfer, all the risks are borne by Christie's, read it again, there is no problem, and he signed his name.

The two contracts were settled, and the people at Christie's started to do it.

Before these old men came, they had obviously done their homework, and they knew that there had been an appraisal from the company in front of them, but they still had to go through the process.

Several people took magnifying glasses and began to look at the desk carefully, looking at it carefully, and it can even be said that they were looking inch by inch.

From the flatness of the tabletop, to the corners of the table, the carved patterns on the edge of the table, and whether there are any scratches on the tabletop, I look very carefully.

But in this regard, it was obvious that Paul from England had made a discovery, and when he saw the carved patterns on the table, he soon let out a burst of exclamations, and his originally calm face began to become excited.

Then the other two old men also came up, and the three of them gathered around and muttered, and then John, an expert in the process of making the desk, began to study the legs of the table, the curves of the carving, and the installation process, and soon came to his own conclusions, and then the three old men met together and muttered quietly.

The three of them were so mysterious, and Jin Muchen and Andre, who were standing on the side, were also itching, and they wanted to know what they were talking about.

However, the two also knew that such experts didn't like to be disturbed when they were working, so they endured it and didn't ask.

At last, the three old men, plus André, flipped the table upside down, laid it flat on the floor, and began to circle around the four black rubber sleeves in the corners of the table.

In fact, the strangest thing about this table is in this place, the whole table is made in a very smooth and consistent style, but on the four feet of this table, there are four black rubber sleeves, which makes people feel very strange.

This treatment method is generally used in modern times, mainly to prevent the wear and tear of some precious wood furniture when it is placed, or to reduce the risk of furniture damage during transportation.

Or because the floor is uneven, install such a rubber pad to ensure the balance of the table.

But antique furniture, but there is no habit of installing this thing, which makes everyone feel strange, Jin Muchen also felt that these four rubber pads were very suspicious, but unfortunately because he did not have a deep understanding of Western antique furniture, he did not have the idea and desire to remove it and take a look.

In the eyes of these experts, it was different, because this style was too strange for them, so they had long wanted to remove the rubber pad and take a good look.

Several experts carefully tested the fastening process of the rubber pad, these rubber pads are not so much rubber pads, but rubber covers, I don't know what age the rubber is put on, and now the rubber has been somewhat aged, so the experts are very careful when dismantling, for fear of damaging these rubber pads, after all, they don't know whether these rubber pads are original or not.

After a long period of effort, he finally removed a rubber cover, and the exposed table legs flashed with golden light against the swaying of the sun, Jin Muchen, who was standing in the distance, felt his eyes spark, and looked at it, it turned out that there was a circle of gold leaf wrapped under Zhuo's feet.

And Paul, the expert on British royal objects, shouted with joy after seeing this circle of gold leaf.

"That's right, it's him."

"What's going on, is it real?"

Jin Muchen, who was sitting in the distance, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore, leaned over, and when he walked to him, he saw that the gold leaf was not only wrapping the table legs, but also playing a beautiful role.

"See, this is the exclusive badge of King William IV, and the things that usually have such a mark are basically the things he used."

Paul, the British royal antique research expert, said excitedly and loudly, and Jin Muchen's heart jumped violently when he heard this.

"Paul, are you saying that this table was used by William IV?"

At this time, it was not only Jin Muchen who was excited, but Pete, John, and Andre who were standing on the side were all full of excitement.

If this table is the table of King William IV of England, it will be worth a different price immediately, this is the most famous royal family in the world, for Western collectors who like to have heritage antique furniture, this thing is as precious as the blue and white porcelain that Chinese like.

"That's right, judging from the carved pattern of this table, we can be sure that it was used by the British royal family back then. It's just that we didn't dare to conclude whether it was real or not. Because the furniture used by the British royal family, especially the wooden furniture, is basically only made of mahogany as the raw material, and there are few maple wood. You should know that maple is divided into soft maple and hard maple, of which soft maple is not very suitable for making furniture, while hard maple is mainly produced in North America and Canada. It is very expensive to manufacture, so it is certainly not the material of choice for British royal furniture. And this table, the reason why I am sure that he belongs to King William IV of England is mainly related to William IV person. When William IV was 13 years old, he joined the British Navy as an alternate officer, and with the British Navy, he fought in all directions, this career had a profound impact on his upbringing, so that he retired and became king, and did not change his sailor habits. His personality was rough, bold, and straightforward, so much so that after he became king, he was once called the king of sailors! ”R1152
