Chapter 679: Piercing in person
The so-called full of fire, mainly to look at the traces of machining on the jade, because the traces of Dustan jade processed in the past are not the category of modern machining, most of them are hand-carved.
Especially when processing the bas-reliefs on the jade, it is absolutely necessary to manufacture them by hand, so if you look closely, you can see the traces of manual scars on the edges of those relief patterns, which is an important polishing process in the past to create traces of Dustan jade.
Therefore, if it is a real past Hindustan jade, such traces can definitely be seen at the edge of the relief pattern.
However, the modern imitation of the trace Dustan jade, because to save costs, most of the use of modern machining process, that is to say, the use of modern CNC machine tools to process, so the processing process becomes electronic typesetting, and then through the computer to control the mechanical arm to process, so that the processed jade, on the edge of the relief pattern can not see the kind of manual polishing marks, and even can see the CNC machine polishing will be unique to the computer typesetting of the network fine marks.
And the few pieces of Tracestein jade that Jin Muchen got his hands on, although the materials are quite decent and look very beautiful, but unfortunately, almost all of these Tracestein jades have the obvious characteristics of modern imitation.
On the contrary, there are traces of ancient hand-made products, and there is no trace of them at all, and this result can't help but make Jin Muchen very disappointed.
And the Indian stall owner named Tatar who was standing opposite also noticed the change in Jin Muchen's face, but this guy gave full play to the characteristics of those Indian vendors, with a thick face and a black heart.
"Sir. I'm an authentic Hindustan jade. This is a good thing that was specially offered to the Chinese emperor in the past. Hey. I'll tell you the truth, this thing was actually left by my grandfather. At that time, he was a platoon commander of the British army in India, and he participated in the expedition to China, and these Hindustan jade objects were brought back from the imperial garden of the Chinese emperor, and they have been hidden in our house ever since. In normal times, I can easily be reluctant to show it, sir, if you want to see it. The price is negotiable. ”
When this guy said these words, he seemed to have a slightly smug look, and Jin Muchen became darker the more he listened, Made, this guy seems to really think of himself as Japanese.
I'm afraid he doesn't know that he is Chinese, if he knows that he is Chinese, I'm afraid to kill him, he doesn't dare to talk to himself like this.
But then again, it's a common trick used by all antique dealers around the world, and that's when dealing with potential customers. Just make up stories as much as you can and let them confuse the public.
Let those guests who are not sure about what is in front of them. Be fooled as much as you can, and this can happen in almost any antique market in the world, even in antique shops.
Don't look at the publicity of many antique markets, they will say that our traders here are very honest and will never bully customers or anything, especially those who claim to be tall in the United Kingdom, the United States antique markets and shops, often play such slogans.
But if you're an antique consumer, if you really believe them, then you have to wait for them to be slaughtered.
You must know that even large auction companies such as Christie's and Sotheby's have made trouble at auctions, and the auction of fake antiques has been exposed, not to mention these antique shops?
Therefore, no matter at any time, anywhere, as an antique consumer, you must pay more attention, and you must not believe the words of these black-hearted dealers, let alone those so-called illusory reputations.
Just like this Tokyo Bay antique market in Japan, Junichi Watanabe told himself before that the antique dealers here are more reputable.
But didn't I find dirty goods on the North Korean vendor's stall yesterday?
Didn't you meet such an Indian stall owner who was full of running trains today?
As for what he said, these Hindustan jades were nonsense from the Chinese Imperial Palace, and it was okay to fool the Japanese who knew little about this jade, but it was really not good to fool themselves.
But to be honest, this Indian stall owner is not telling a lie at one point, that is, many treasures in the palace of the Qing Dynasty are now living in India, which is indeed true.
As for the main reason, it is indeed as the stall owner said, in the several wars launched by the British against the Qing Dynasty that year, such as the two wars of aggression against China that entered the capital, in fact, many of the main forces of the infantry were those British troops stationed in India.
Although these British troops stationed in India are in the name of the British army, in fact, the vast majority of the soldiers in them are Indian Asan, who are licensed from India.
There were indeed a lot of treasures of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, all of which were snatched away by these guys, and it is precisely for this reason that there are so many Chinese antiques that are now living in India.
Every time I think of this, it will make every self-respecting and self-reliant Chinese feel heartache, and the treasure of their own family was actually snatched away by the Indian Ah San, whom they have always looked down on the most, which is really a great shame.
Of course, Jin Muchen did not reveal these emotions, but hid them in his heart.
At this time, after listening to the Indian stall owner's story, he looked up at him and smiled slightly.
"Tatar, don't tell me stories. Although these Hindustan jades are similar in size to the past Hindustan jades, if you say that these things are the imperial gifts of the Chinese emperor, then you are talking nonsense. The jade used by the Chinese emperor must be hundreds of years old. But if you look at your jade, there is no such thing as a hundred years of pulp. Not to mention anything else, in terms of pulp, this trace of Dustan jade, because it is very thin, so after a long time, it will definitely leave specific traces. Because these traces of Dustan jade belong to practical tools, so his original owner, after using these jades, for a long time, many times, will definitely leave oxidation marks on these jades after touching them with his hands, and because these traces of Dustan jade are too thin, these oxidized traces are almost difficult to remove. These marks, like the folds that often appear on clothes, are the natural remnants of the growth of sin, which cannot be erased by modern technology. And you look at your jade, there is not even the slightest trace of oxidation on it, what else do you tell me that these are the traces of the Chinese emperor's jade, do you really think I am a fool? ”
Jin Muchen ruthlessly exposed this Tatar's lie in front of him, and this guy was already dark-faced, and at this time, he didn't know if it was because his skin was thick enough, or because this guy's face was too dark to see, anyway, he blushed at all, and he didn't mean to be ashamed.
After being so ruthlessly exposed by Jin Muchen about his lies, this guy didn't panic, but smiled, but gave Jin Muchen a thumbs up.
"Sir, you are indeed an antique connoisseur, and you know all the characteristics of Hindustan jade. It seems that I really got an axe in front of you, ashamed, ashamed. ”|
I didn't expect this guy to be quite good at chewing words, but after being debunked by Jin Muchen at this time, he began to hold Jin Muchen's stinky feet with a straight face.
But although he said that he was ashamed, this guy didn't mean to be ashamed at all.
"Sir, since you can see it, then I'll tell you straight. Although these jades are not the antiques of the past Hindustan jade, they are indeed good things from the original origin of the Hindustan jade, and these jades are processed in accordance with the regulations of the past Hindustan jade. So although it is not an antique, it can still be called a Hindustan jade. And although they can't be regarded as antiques, if you look at the raw materials used in my jade processing, as well as the gems inlaid on it, the gold thread used for the filigree, and the gold edges inlaid here, these are all real materials. This is not a fraud, so although these traces, Dustan jade, can not be regarded as antiques, but they can still be called treasures! And although modern machining methods are used, the jade made by such processing is not necessarily worse than the jade of the past! On the contrary, because of the improvement of the process, the processing is more meticulous and there are fewer flaws, isn't this kind of jade more perfect than before? ”
I have to say that this Tatar is really a sales elite, although the lie has been exposed, but he is still not blushing, not shocked, and still recommends these jades to Jin Muchen in the latter's cheek.
And the words that came out of his mouth this time can also be said to be not wrong, although these jade objects are not the kind of Hindustan jade in the past, but they can definitely be called treasures.
In terms of materials and processing processes alone, these jades can indeed be regarded as top-level crafts, of course, this is from the perspective of Chinese looking at antiques, if they are changed to European and American people, then they will definitely not deny that this thing is a treasure.
Because when Europeans and Americans identify the value of a thing, especially such jade, the first thing they look at is the material, especially when the jade is inlaid with gemstones, jade is not a good thing in their eyes, but gems are different, which is the most different place between Eastern and Western cultures.
And when it comes to processing technology, although this is a machined product, when it comes to the perfection of the instrument, who can say for sure that the machined thing must be worse than the handmade work! (To be continued.) )
