Chapter 762: Jade Dragon Chair

Mitsui Takazu stood in front of this chair and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see why, although he thought he was an expert in Sinology, but in fact he was just a sinologist with half a bucket of water.

Although he can read and write Chinese characters, it does not mean that he is also an expert in Chinese antiques, otherwise he would not have hired Yoshihiko Noda as his investment advisor.

After looking at it for a long time, he could only see that this chair was exquisitely made, even unheard of, but if he was asked to determine which dynasty this chair came from in China, he really couldn't tell the difference.

It's Mitsui Mitsui, who watched it for a long time, and finally seemed to see some doorways.

He was the first to stand up, with a somewhat smug look on his face, and then with a bit of a show-off tone, he said to his own brother: "The material of this jade dragon chair should be the high-grade Lingrunzi material in Khotanese green topaz. If you look at the color, the jade weathering of the dragon chair should have been buried in the mud for a long time, you look at this piece, the jade is relatively loose and there is a color escape, so I deduce that this chair should have been buried in the ground for many years, until recently unearthed. Because the chromogenic metal element in the Khotanese topaz species is iron ions, you can see that the green color of this piece is precipitated from the yellow jade part from the inside to the outside, and the distribution range is dizzy and foggy, making this jade material more moist and creamy. ”

Although this Mitsui Mitsui is a straw bag, after all, he has been rolling in the antique industry for more than 20 years, so he still has some basic skills.

He is also the director of the Tokyo National Museum, where he has a large collection of ancient Chinese jade, works from all ages. So under the influence of the ears and eyes. He can also say a thing or two about the quality of this jade.

He said so. Mitsui nodded, indicating that he could understand his brother's words, and then he waved his hand to signal his brother to continue.

Mitsui Mitsui tugged on the collar of his suit, I saw so many antiques today, but most of them were identified by Yoshihiko Noda, but the limelight was exhausted by Yoshihiko Noda, and he, the director of the Tokyo National Museum, has not shown much yet.

If no one else is present. He didn't care, but after all, there were celebrities in the Japanese pottery industry like Kyosuke Kobayashi at the scene, and if he didn't show his performance today, it would be a bit embarrassing to spread the word.

And now, he felt that it should be his own performance time, especially at this time, Kobayashi Kyosuke was also standing next to his brother, looking at himself with blazing eyes, which made his heart swell a little more.

"The materials for this jade dragon chair, we have finished reading. Next, let's talk about the workmanship of this dragon chair, in terms of workmanship, this dragon chair. It can be said that it is extremely exquisite, thorough, wisps, empty, subtracting the ground and high relief, yang pattern, garden carving, cutting, combination, digging deed, and other classic craftsmanship of ancient Chinese jade carving, all of which are reflected in this jade dragon chair, it can be said that this jade dragon chair concentrates the top production technology of all ancient Chinese jade carving, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this jade dragon chair is an artistic masterpiece that has never been seen before or after it. And on this chair, there are also a lot of Han Dynasty eight knife carving technology, in the carving of these dragon patterns, the craftsman, as much as possible to simplify the knife work, with the simplest knife to carve the most image of the jade dragon, can have such skills, can definitely be said to be a jade master. The polishing technique of this jade dragon chair should be to solve the jade by hand, and use tailings and animal skins to carefully polish, so that the polished jade makes this jade dragon chair have this soft sense of light. In terms of speaker type, this should be a large combination fitter. In other words, this jade dragon chair is a number of jade carvings and assembled together. It is completely mortise and tenon structure, and the whole chair, in the whole process of production, does not use a single nail or glue, and is completely assembled together by mortise and tenon. This can be said to be the top craftsmanship in ancient Chinese furniture making techniques, from which it can be inferred that the person who can make this jade dragon chair is definitely a Chinese jade carving and furniture making master in which era! ”

Mitsui Mitsura pointed to the jade dragon chair, saying that the head was the Tao, and Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyosuke, who didn't quite understand the Tao here, also nodded frequently when they heard it.

Mitsui Mitsui used a lot of technical terms, making his words seem very professional and profound, and it was enough to fool up nicknames like Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyosuke.

"So this jade dragon chair should be the work of that dynasty?"

Through Mitsui Mitsui's analysis, Mitsui Takazu can basically conclude that this jade dragon chair must be a treasure that has just been unearthed recently, and it is also the kind of top quality, and the most important thing is that this is a dragon chair.

In ancient China, the dragon chair was not something that anyone could make, and it could even be said that in the whole of China, there was only one person who could sit on such a chair, and that was the emperor at that time.

As soon as he thought of this, Mitsui Takazu's heart began to heat up, and it was a royal treasure!

Today, it seems that I have really picked it up, you must know that there are not many dragon chairs of the Chinese emperor that can be preserved now, there are so few, but they are still in the Palace Museum in China.

If you can put in a dragon chair of the Chinese emperor today, it will be worth it no matter how much money it costs.

But the key issue now is to determine which emperor used this chair.

"Well, according to the carving of this chair, I think it should be the carving and practice of the jade masters of Su @ Zhou and Yang @ Zhou during the Qing Dynasty in China, after all, the jade carving technicians in those two places in that era were the most skilled jade carving masters in ancient Chinese history. Many of Emperor Qianlong's favorite jade objects were carved by their own hands. And this jade dragon chair is so intricate and exquisitely carved, it must have taken a lot of time and energy, and the investment is definitely not small. And the emperor in Chinese history who is most willing to spend money on jade is probably the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, right? ”

Mitsui Mitsui touched his chin and said his inference, and his face couldn't hide the smugness.

At this time, Junichi Watanabe, who had been hiding behind a chair to check, had just stood up.

Although this Mitsui Mitsura is swearing and analyzing the Tao, his brother Mitsui Takawa still knows his brother very well.

His younger brother definitely belongs to the typical Zhida talent, although he has a little ability, but he usually prefers it, half a bucket of water understands, in fact, if it comes to the real appraisal skills, it is really not as good as the Noda Yoshihiko in front of him, otherwise he would not have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to hire this guy as an investment consultant for himself.

So in terms of the identification of such an important baby, I really listen to what Yoshihiko Noda has to say.

"Noda-kun, what do you think?"

He looked at Yoshihiko Noda, who had just straightened up, and asked, although Yoshihiko Noda was inspecting and appraising this chair just now, he also listened to Mitsui's words.

At this time, Mitsui Guihe asked him, and he nodded at Mitsui Guihe: "Guangliang is right in the analysis of the materials used in the jade, the color of the jade, and the carving and the craftsmanship of the production. This must be a treasure that has just been unearthed for a short time, and looking at the good pulp, you can know that this thing must have a history of hundreds of years. There's nothing wrong with carving and splicing. But I still have my own opinion on the age of the production of this jade dragon chair. ”

Yoshihiko Noda said it very bluntly, but he had already saved some face for Mitsui Mitsui, and Mitsui's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

But it's not good to attack on the spot in front of Kobayashi Kyosuke, after all, although he is angry that Noda Yoshihiko slapped him in the face on the spot, but after all, he also knows his own appraisal level, if it is really wrong, then when the transaction is made for a while, he will suffer.

So although he was very annoyed that this Noda Yoshihiko slapped him in the face, he also wanted to hear this guy explain which dynasty produced this jade dragon chair.

"Although the carved patterns on this jade dragon chair are exquisitely carved, the overall shape is extremely concise, and the shape is mainly based on lines. We can see that its main part does not have too much red tape decoration, the lines are extremely simple and capable, and the lines of the external contour change very obviously. We can see that the back, armrests, and legs of this dragon chair are in their own postures, giving people a strong beauty of lines. And this backrest, let's take a closer look, this is an "S" shaped back, ergonomic, humanized design, which greatly increases the comfort of this seat. Most of the components of the furniture are a combination of parts with clear lines, and the lines of each part are both rigid and soft. At the same time, the thread is the ......"

Yoshihiko Noda pointed to the modeling lines on the edge of the furniture frame for Mitsui and them to see, and then continued: "It is also very distinctive, everyone mainly looks here, these edges and the feet of the chair, through the changes of the depth, height, width, square, sharp and blunt of the legs, produce different effects. This is a very rare place for antique furniture in China......"

As soon as Yoshihiko Noda said this, Takazu Mitsui, Mitsui Mitsui, and Kyosuke Kobayashi noticed some of the details of this chair, and after a careful experience, they really felt the difference between this chair and the antique Chinese chairs they had seen before...... (To be continued.) )
