Chapter 106 The Chisel Jin Yi with the wrong generation
"Brother Qing, are you interested in bronzes?"
Seeing He Qing staring intently at a piece of bronze in the glass display case for a long time, Lin Haitao couldn't help asking.
He Qing came back to his senses and said in a calm tone: "I don't have any special interest, I think that the shape of that bronze is more peculiar, and it seems to be different from the ordinary copper tripod." ”
Lin Haitao replied with a smile: "Don't you have a sign that says it?" 'Han Dynasty Chisel Jin Yi' is a bronze Yi. ”
For the word "Yi", He Qing only knew "Yi nationality", but did not know that there was a so-called "Yi" bronze ware in ancient times.
After the ins and outs of that bronze just now, He Qing was very surprised in his heart, because that thing was not from the Han Dynasty, and it can be seen from the image records that it was a bronze from the Autumn and Warring States Period, and the history experienced was even older than that of the Han Dynasty.
Also, Boss Jin made a mistake in their identification, and turned a bronze from the Warring States period into the Han Dynasty, although the difference between the two eras is not very big, but there are always differences.
In He Qinglai, the wrong judgment is the most basic misjudgment of an antique, if the judgment is wrong at this juncture, then the direction is lost, it is easy to misestimate its true value, may be underestimated, may also be overestimated, and the age is often pushed back to underestimate the original value of the antique.
In other words, Boss Jin and the others have lost their eyes, and it is obviously a bronze from the Warring States period but it is from the Han Dynasty, isn't it obviously underestimated.
Although He Qing did not have much research on bronzes, he was familiar with history, and the bronzes of the Autumn and Warring States periods and the period before them were more sophisticated, and the famous "Simu Wuding" in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was not a typical bronze, representing the most glorious era of bronze smelting and casting.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the two bronzes with similar shapes should be worth more than those of the Han Dynasty in the Warring States period.
"Bronze Yi?" After pondering for a moment, He Qing wondered, "I haven't heard of it before, what was this kind of thing used for at that time?" It's also for sacrifices, right? ”
Lin Haitao replied: "Yi is a kind of wine container in ancient times, and 'Yi Ding' is also commonly used to refer to the sacrificial utensils commonly used in ancient temples. This Yi Ding should not be an unearthed cultural relic, but an antique, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The thing is good, the shape is upright, and it also reflects the superb gilding process of ancient times, which belongs to a relatively rare bronze.
"The 'chisel gold' on the signboard is also gilded on the carving. Gilding is a metal processing process, also known as 'gold coating', which is a gold mercury synthesized from gold and mercury, applied to the surface of copperware, heated to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold is firmly attached to the surface of the bronze without falling off. According to this technique, it had already appeared in the Autumn and Warring States periods, but gilt bronzes of that period were very rare, and gilding was called 'Jin Tu' or 'Huang Tu' in the Han Dynasty, which was more common at this time. This bronze Yi we have now is a typical Han Dynasty bronze tripod. ”
"Oh." He Qing nodded lightly, and immediately asked casually, "Then if you encounter a gilded Yi from the Warring States Period, will it be more valuable?" ”
"Of course, rare things are expensive, the bronzes of the Warring States period were originally very valuable, and some of them were national treasures, and there was no price to measure." Lin Haitao smiled and nodded, "But I've never seen a gilded copper tripod before the Han Dynasty with my own eyes." The word "gilding" appeared relatively late, it is currently known that the word gilt was first seen in the "Ji Yun" revised by the Song people, and the above said "the gilt of the United States is called the gilt", the gilding process in the Ming bronzes was not common before the Han Dynasty, but many unearthed cultural relics proved that there was a gilding process in the Warring States Period, and the technology has been quite mature. ”
"But now you've seen it with your own eyes!" Secretly, He Qing sneered, "You really don't know the goods!" The bronzes of the Warring States are in front of you, and you have never seen them before! ”
After listening to Lin Haitao's words, He Qing already knew in his heart that the copper tripod in front of him had an extraordinary origin, and it might be a big leak for himself, of course, this situation was not used to pick up leaks in the usual period, this was at the auction exhibition, if you want to take it down, you have to participate in the auction and compete with others.
Now only he can be sure that the bronze tripod is a bronze artifact of the Warring States, but he believes that as the research deepens, more and more people will accept this judgment.
"More tomorrow." At the end, He Qing thought secretly.
He has made up his mind to take the opportunity to act tomorrow, if the auction price of that bronze is low and there are few competitors, then auction it off, and if the reserve price is too high or others are chasing too high, then he has no choice, after all, he is not like Deng Lao and them, he can bid lavishly for a treasure he likes, and the funds available to him are extremely limited, and it is overwhelmed if it exceeds a certain amount.
Next, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at other exhibits, most of which were things that He Qing had never seen or heard before, and he was an eye-opener today.
"Haitao, let me ask you a question."
While resting in the guest room after lunch, He Qing suddenly asked Lin Haitao, "If I want to participate in tomorrow's auction, what conditions do I need?" You can't bring cash to the bidding, right? ”
"No conditions." Lin Haitao said, "Anyone can participate in the auction, as long as the funds in your pocket are enough to pay the price, of course, it is not limited to cash, after the thing is auctioned, Boss Jin will send someone to make a transaction with you, can't you write a check or go to the bank to make a transfer transaction?" ”
He Qing smiled and said, "That's much more convenient." Hehe, I've never been to such an event before, so I don't have any experience. ”
"Brother Qing, why are you suddenly asking me this question?" Lin Haitao was surprised, "You don't really want to participate in the auction tomorrow, do you?" Sue me, which collection do you have? It's listed in this catalogue, right? ”
He asked so many questions with great interest, and He Qing didn't hide it: "I like that bronze Yi Ding more, but I don't know how much that thing costs, there should be many people who like that thing, right?" ”
"The copper tripod?" Lin Haitao was surprised, "No, why do you like to collect that thing?" I don't like bulky bronzes, and the pieces can be played with. Since you like to participate in the auction, I guess that thing is not a hot lot, there will not be many people competing, most of the bosses are for a few pieces of rare porcelain, especially the national treasure-level 'Zhang Feimei vase'. ”
"Well, maybe that's the case, it's time for the situation." He Qing nodded.
He also felt that everyone focused their attention on a few exquisite porcelains such as the "Zhang Feimei Vase", and ignored the somewhat clumsy and ugly bronzes.
However, the opposite is true, bronze is a devalued genuine product, and the "Zhang Feimei Vase" is an overly embellished fake.
The results of tomorrow's auction are out......
