"Thirty thousand? Boss, your price is a little unauthentic! ”
Jin Muchen said with a smile, the proprietress seemed to have expected Jin Muchen to say this, so she rolled her eyes charmingly.
"Okay, little brother, can you tell me a price?"
Bamboo carved pen holder, in the early years in the collection world, is not popular, can only be regarded as a niche collection, the reason is very simple, mainly because this bamboo pen holder is not durable.
Especially for old bamboo, once it has been a long time, it will dry and crack, so the environmental conditions for storage are particularly high.
The climate in northern China is dry, so the bamboo pen holder can not withstand such climatic conditions, and it was mainly collected in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions at that time.
However, the price trend of this thing in recent years has been rising all the way, and even brought a wave of bamboo carved pen holder collection, and the main reason for this is that at the Christie's spring auction in 2005, a bamboo carved pen holder made by Gu Yu was sold at a sky-high price of 10.45 million Hong Kong dollars.
This was more than a successful transaction, which directly promoted the prosperity of the bamboo carving pen holder collection circle, and even the Puhai Museum, which was known as 'nothing extraordinary' at that time, successively acquired more than 260 pieces of Gu Yu's works after that.
So since then, Gu Yu's bamboo carved pen holder can be said to be optimistic all the way in the collection world. It is highly sought after by many collectors.
This pen holder in front of me. If it's in good condition. Not to mention 30,000, even 3 million Jin Muchen may not be able to take it.
But now the situation of this pen holder is not optimistic, the body of the pen holder, and the base have more cracks on the Yan zhòng, if there are only these cracks are easy to do, but unfortunately in the depths of these cracks, there are several traces of repair failure, such as the dry glue and other traces that are difficult to dispose of.
So. It can only make the price of this pen holder go all the way down, if this pen holder only has traces of cracks before, it can still be regarded as a remnant.
But coupled with the traces of those repair failures, it can only be regarded as a defective product.
Such a pen holder can basically be said to be worthless in the market, because even if you buy it back and find the best restoration experts in the world, it will be difficult to restore this pen holder to its original state.
Not to mention repairing the original state, I just want to repair 70%. None of them.
What collector is willing to pay a lot of money to buy such a pen holder? That's why the shopkeeper used it as a cloning vessel. It's not an exaggeration, it's just that now she wants to ask for 30,000 yuan for the utensils that cover the door, which is a bit too much.
"Boss, we all know this thing very well, with his current conditions, to be honest, it's really not an exaggeration for you to use it to cover the door, but we play antiques, and what we pay attention to is a play. This thing may be worthless in your eyes, but in my opinion, if you like it, then it's okay. In this way, I will bid 3,000 for this tube, if you are willing, you will make a deal, if you are not willing, then you can continue to use him to cover the door. ”
Jin Muchen quoted the price, and the proprietress was holding her arms, looking at the pen holder, there are a lot of materials that can be used to cover the door at home, there is no shortage of such a pen holder, anyway, this pen holder is a waste in her opinion, if it can be exchanged for thousands of yuan, it seems that it will not lose money.
"Okay, three thousand."
The proprietress agreed, and Jin Muchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, this tube can't be repaired by others at all, but for him, with that purple jade space, it is not a matter at all.
He ordered three thousand cash, handed it to the proprietress with one hand, delivered it with the other, and then left the store.
Looking at the pen holder in his hand, although the pen holder was still in a dilapidated state at this time, he could not hide his excitement in his heart.
3,000 yuan, you can exchange it for a 3 million treasure, this transaction can definitely be said to be a million profits!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a move in his heart, there are very few real things on the market now, and even if there is, the asking price is high and scary.
If you want to put down roots in Manhattan for your antique shop, it will definitely not work if you rely on those handicrafts and a few fine items to support the scene.
No matter what, there must be a lot of treasures to support the scene, and these treasures must be opened up to the level, such as the price is relatively cheap, or medium, and then high, and each level must have dozens of pieces, or more than a dozen.
But if you really want to get all these treasures in China, I'm afraid you will have to spend 10 million yuan, and you may not be able to buy them.
You must know that the collection of Chinese style is mainly based on porcelain, and the domestic porcelain, the more high-quality the price, the ordinary Ming and Qing dynasties of the folk kiln porcelain, now have been fried to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of prices.
The mid-grade, produced by famous kilns, are often hundreds of thousands or millions, and the products produced by high-quality official kilns, and even used by the Imperial Palace, are often tens of millions.
If you really let yourself go of the acquisition, the little money in your hand is not enough to see at all.
But what if you only buy those scraps? In that case, it will save a lot of money.
You must know that the number of domestic porcelain remnants is now many times more than the number of good products, and even a special market has been formed.
Entry-level Tibetans come to learn, observe, and accumulate the characteristics of various porcelain fragments and related knowledge, while those who are shy in their pockets like to buy these fragments and restore them themselves.
But their repair ability, how can they have their own bull from the purple jade space?
If you buy a lot of porcelain fragments and go back and repair them slowly, doesn't this mean that there is an extra channel for purchase?
You must know that for an antique store, the most important thing is two channels, one is the purchase channel, the other is the shipping channel, and the others are not so important at all.
Thinking of this, Jin Muchen's heart was beating violently, and he looked up, and on the other side of the Panjiayuan greenhouse area, there was a greenhouse that sold porcelain fragments.
However, he didn't rush over, but took a few deep breaths, and chose to go back to the hotel first, repair the pen holder, and see what the effect was saying.
Back at the hotel, he couldn't even wait to eat, but went back to his room first, found a deerskin towel, dipped it in water, and gently wiped the dust on the pen holder.
Because it is not taken seriously, the current situation of this pen holder is very bad, not only is it cracked, but it is also dirty, full of dust, and some parts are even full of old dirt, which is very difficult to clean.
Finally, you can't scrub it with a deerskin towel, so you can only choose to wipe it with a brush lightly dipped in water.
It took a long time to finally clean the stains on the tube, and then took out a knife and began to gently scrape the dried glue in the crack, and it took more than an hour to scrape it clean.
Then put it there to dry, and then throw it into the purple jade space.
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon, but this time I woke up, not like the previous few times after repairing the baby with space, my body was hollowed out, it seems that the yellow gourd, the transformation of his body, really made his body much stronger, and even his mental strength has been greatly improved.
When I took out the pen holder again, the pen holder was already in a new state, and most of the cracks on the original barrel body and bottom of the barrel had disappeared.
You can even see traces of green on the pen holder, and this carving technique can be said to be the pinnacle of bamboo carving.
The colorful and tender bamboo tube began to be knifed, because the bamboo skin at that time was still green, and it was such a thin layer, so it was able to have a green hand carver on the pen holder, which was definitely a master.
Then there is the relief, openwork, and round carving, which is to scrape off a layer of the outer skin of the bamboo, and work on the finest part of the bamboo, which is called the green carving.
It is also the process and process that best reflects the skills and skills of the carver, and this part is also the most brilliant part after the completion of the pen holder.
The characteristic of the green is that it will slowly turn red over time, and the older it gets, the redder it gets, and the faster it rubs the color, giving people a glamorous and vulgar feeling.
And the above characteristics of this pen holder are all possessed, coupled with Gu Yu's name and the delicate carving on this cylinder, Jin Muchen's heart is refreshed.
According to the current market of Gu Yuzhu's carved pen holder on the market, such a finely carved pen holder, I'm afraid there are not three to four million, and it will definitely not be able to get down, and this time I can be regarded as picking.
Seeing this newly renovated pen holder, Jin Muchen's mind turned to the book of Wanli that he remembered yesterday afternoon, and immediately got up to wash up, ate a bite casually, and then went straight to Panjiayuan.
This time, his purpose was the greenhouse that specialized in selling remnants, and when he got inside, he had a basic psychological spectrum.
The stalls sold are basically remnants of porcelain, most of which are cups, bowls and dishes produced in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but most of them are defective.
There are chong that are all light, most of them are cracked teeth, with obvious traces of breakage, these are also quite light, Yan zhòng's direct is the kind that has been broken into eight petals, and even the quality of a complete dish can't be spelled out.
These porcelains may seem a bit miserable, but they also have the advantage of being cheap.
Like in the small shop on the other side of the market, if you want to buy a complete Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain, the quality is average, and you have to pay more than 10,000 yuan for one piece.
But here, more than 10,000 you can buy more than a dozen pieces, the bowl mouth has a punch, the plate body has a punch, the relative price is relatively expensive, famous kilns and official kilns, you can generally buy a few hundred or thousands of pieces, but those pieces, that is cheap, 10,000 yuan you can buy a pocket back.
