"You said that during the Qianlong period, because of his love for jade, the court used high-grade Hetian materials, or second-class Qinghai green jade materials, which is true. But if you say that this jade pen holder is Xiuyan jade, so it is not the Qianlong Imperial Collection, then it is very wrong, because he is Xiuyan jade, so this pen holder is right! He's not a fake, you don't see this, how did you come to be known as an appraisal master? ”
At this time, Jin Muchen's response was not polite at all, and Gu Li was pale, just muttering to himself.
"Impossible, impossible......"
He was indeed negligent back then, and after concluding that the cylinder material was Xiuyan jade, he didn't have the mind to look at it carefully, and directly denied this pen holder, because in his opinion, Qianlong loved jade so much, and the emperor who understood jade, how could he use a pen holder made of low-end jade like Xiuyan jade?
"This pen holder, if it is correct, should be a congratulatory gift sent to Qianlong by Sebuteng Fuji Zhuoer, who was his son-in-law, on Qianlong's birthday. And back then, because Qianlong loved jade, most of the Hetian jade materials that entered the mainland from the Western Regions flowed into the court, even if they were princes and dignitaries, it was not so easy to get a piece of Hetian seed materials, unless it was Qianlong's reward. And this color Buteng Fuji Zhuoer wants to give gifts to his father-in-law, because he can't get good jade materials, so it's not too much to send Xiuyan jade. Not to mention this Xiuyan nephrite and Hongshan culture. But there has always been a very close connection. And the Hongshan culture has a continuous connection with Horqin Mongolia. Xiu Yanyu may not be good news to outsiders. It's not worth much, but in the eyes of the people of Horqin Mongolia, this is the real treasure. Therefore, this prince of Horqin Mongolia made a pen holder with Xiuyan jade and gave it to his father-in-law, which is simply suitable. It's ridiculous that you, a master of appraise, can't even tell this point? ”
Jin Muchen's words have a certain amount of his own inference and speculation in them. But archaeology, archaeology, in fact, doesn't this rely on antiques and historical materials to combine inference and conjecture?
There is such a signature on the pen holder, and the congratulatory message and time are also right, taking into account the origin and cultural customs of the related characters. After such reasoning, it is not wrong to add the age of this jade pen holder. In this way, the possibility that this pen holder is the imperial collection of Qianlong has increased sharply.
"In addition, you said that the pattern carved on this cylinder is very inelegant and funny, but have you thought about it, but this is exactly the style that Prince Horqin should have? You asked the prince who came out of the prairie to carve you on the jade pen holder, Jiangnan style, character landscape, do you think this is possible? On the contrary, it is to carve such a herdsman shepherd, I think it is the most suitable! ”
Gu Li's face was as pale as paper, and he knew in his heart that he was going to make a big deal this time.
Some time ago, I went to see the gold fixture, if I said that I had not seen the circulation on the market before, and there were too few genuine products in China, so the awareness was not enough, and there was a difference, but it was also said in the past.
But now this jade pen holder has been verified by him, and then it flows out of his hand, and now if it is proved to be genuine, then his signboard is really going to be smashed.
David Zhang, the shopkeeper on the other side, was also dumbfounded at this time?
What kind of international joke, a genuine pen holder from Qianlong's imperial collection has been in his store for several years, but in the end, he finally sold this real guy as a knockoff in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
The most important thing is that he feels sorry for the economic losses here!
The jade of the Qianlong period, but in the ancient Chinese jade, the most prestigious generation of jade, especially the jade of the Qianlong Imperial Collection, is the most popular variety in the market.
If this jade pen holder is real, plus the gift given to Qianlong by the prince of Horqin as a birthday gift, such a gimmick does not need to be hyped up, just this head, the value of this pen holder can skyrocket.
Not to mention that it was easy to sell for three or five hundred thousand dollars, but he actually sold it for only thirty thousand dollars, and when he thought of this, this David Zhang felt that he was dripping blood in his heart!
And Sean, on the other side, was also dumbfounded, what's going on?
I just trampled this guy like a dead dog, but this kung fu will make this guy turn over?
You must know that I was going to spend money to smash this pen holder down, if not for anything else, just to talk to this guy, but it was this Gu Li who dissuaded him, saying that that thing was fake.
What's going on now? Is this going to be real? And double your net worth?
Thinking of this, this Sean, I feel that my eyeballs are going to explode, what I should have been able to take, but in the end, I was robbed by that kid, the most important thing is that this thing, as if I could have picked it up, is now snatched away by this kid.
No wonder this kid just said what he said to buy and return the pearls, and his feelings are about himself, so he missed a treasure, which made this Sean suddenly have an urge to beat his chest.
"This jade pen holder, don't look at the texture material, it is indeed not as good as Hetian seed material, or Qinghai material, but why is there a perfect old man's inscription below? This shows that Qianlong liked this pen holder quite a lot, so he inscribed his name later. And if it is an ancient jade in the Ming Dynasty, if there is an inscription like Qianlong, it will definitely affect the value, after all, it belongs to destroying the beauty of cultural relics. But this pen holder is just the opposite, originally this cylinder material is indeed a big problem that affects his price, but if there is Qianlong's handwritten inscription on it, it is another matter. In addition, the technique of using grassland grass to hide congratulatory messages and names, in the Qing Dynasty, not everyone could do it, and one of them happened to be Emperor Qianlong's favorite jade craftsman, his name is Yao Zhongren, presumably Master Gu You should have heard of it, right? He is the great master of jade carving in the Qianlong period, if I guess correctly, this pen holder should also be from his hand? ”
Jin Muchen sneered and looked at Gu Li When he said this, Gu Li's body couldn't help but shake.
Yao Zhongren was a well-known jade carving master in the Qianlong period, and was once specially hired by Qianlong in the capital to make jade carving for himself, and his works have always been known for their fine workmanship, rich creativity and far-reaching meaning.
The works of this master Yao are now very popular in the market, even if they are not specially made for Qianlong, the price is very high, as long as it is touched by his side, the market price of that jade will skyrocket.
And he is indeed as Jin Muchen said, he is such a hidden carving, a master of relief carving, and it seems that this pen holder should be carved by him for the prince of Horqin.
"Well, I don't want to say more about the origin and value of this pen holder. Master Gu: Do you still think that the mahogany base under this barrel will be worth more than this pen holder? Hehe...... Boss Zhang, let's see you back, thank you for this baby! ”
Jin Muchen looked at Gu Li with a smile, but his smile didn't have any taste of friendliness at all, but was full of ridicule and ridicule.
I almost pointed to Gu Li's nose and said, at your level, what about the master? Phew!
As for the last sentence of greeting Boss Zhang, there was no kindness in it, and that David Zhang could only barely squeeze out a wry smile on his face when he heard Jin Muchen's farewell.
"Welcome to the next visit!"
Made, just watching a treasure slip away under his nose, and it was a treasure that he had hidden in his house for several years, and finally he was sold cheaply by himself at a garbage price, even if David Zhang was broad-minded, at this time a sense of frustration came to his heart.
When he looked back at Gul and Na Sean, the expression on his face was not as friendly as before.
Nima's, just because of the two of you, this hundreds of thousands of dollars, just flew away from Lao Tzu's eyes......
Jin Muchen carried the box except for the store door, and before leaving, he inadvertently skimmed the complicated eyes of Ma Ling when he looked at him, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, those who abandon me can't stay yesterday!
As for what will happen between Boss Zhang and Gu Li, and whether it will affect the cooperation between them in the future, hehe, then it's none of my business!
He got in the car and stayed directly at a hotel he had booked before he came, and after an afternoon of shopping in San Francisco, he collected a pen holder from Qianlong's imperial collection, which was already worth the trip.
Tomorrow happens to be another weekend, and he is not in a hurry to go back to Los Angeles, just planning to go to the antique market on Stanford Road.
There are so many treasures in the antique store, in this antique market, even if it is mixed, it is not too bad, right?
After a beautiful dinner at the hotel, we went back to bed and woke up early the next day and headed straight to Stamford Road.
Jackson Street, where I went yesterday, is a place with a high concentration of antique shops, and Stanford Road is famous because it has the largest second-hand market in San Francisco.
There's a dapoint market on this street, and San Francisco's antique market, which is also called a flea market in the eyes of Americans.
Jin Muchen parked his car in the parking lot on the edge of the market, and then slowly walked into this market, after entering the antique business, he has seen a lot of such a market, and it no longer feels too mysterious and fresh as before.
Although he didn't expect much, as soon as he came in, Jin Muchen immediately felt that this market was different from those on the East Coast. (To be continued......)
