Chapter 304 The Current Situation of the Bronze Antiques Market

Wang Wei just didn't leave, he just didn't take such a thing to heart, as if this kind of thing had nothing to do with him at all. In fact, Wang Wei knew very well in his heart that he made the first bird just now, but he just said that everyone had certain doubts about Song Jun's ability, and no one stood up.

Therefore, what he represented at that time was only the meaning of the majority of people, and if he failed, it proved that everyone had no great ability, and no one wanted to laugh at anyone, which he grasped very well. On such a question, if he throws his hand and leaves, then such a time is actually a real shame and admits that he has failed.

On the contrary, in such a situation, in fact, at this point, their own real confidence is to stay, and see what the situation is like later.

Moreover, at this time, he still has his own task that has not been completed, that is, to go to Fangyuan Villa, the annual party of Fangyuan Villa is with him Wang Wei, if there is no this time, it will be a real shame.

Therefore, Wang Wei not only did not say to retreat, but stood up for the second time and said: "Brother Song is indeed a good skill, worthy of being a senior disciple of Zhao Lao, just now I was a little skeptical about Brother Song's level, and now it seems that it is really worthy of its reputation."

It just so happens that I brought something today, I want everyone to help with the palm of the eye, since Brother Song is an appraiser, then please help with the appraisal. ”

Subsequently, a staff member was escorted by a heavily armed security guard, or rather under surveillance, with a bronze sword. This bronze sword, there is a dragon pattern faintly visible on it, and the copper rust spots are specked, which is completely without the cold and compelling momentum of the legendary famous sword.

However, it is obvious that if you look at this dragon pattern sword now, Wang Wei's expression is actually quite good, in such a situation. It can also be seen that in fact, at this point, Wang Wei is very confident in the thing he brought.

Because he is a good friend with Fang Hongjin, he knows Mr. Fang very well, not that the more valuable your antiques are, the more you can win Mr. Fang's favor.

Speaking of which, although Dong Qichang's scroll of ladies is Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork, and it has such a magical experience, but. Whatever it is. It's also not good to enter Mr. Fang's eyes. Mr. Fang generally doesn't take this kind of antique to heart.

Lower Riba people, Wang Wei thinks that Dong Qichang is a nouveau riche, a Lower Riba person, this is not without his reason.

In Wang Wei's view. Di Dong Qichang chose such a painting to participate in this auction, which in itself was a wrong decision. Like this bronze sword of his, it's kind of interesting.

It may not be a valuable antique, but it is a strange thing, this is a treasure that has been passed down, there is no record of what kind of weapon it is, and there is no special fame in history, speaking of which, it is a kind of ordinary antique that is not well-known among antiques.

But. Speaking of this weapon, it is indeed a treasure, with its own unique place, and such a characteristic is what can attract Mr. Fang's attention the most.

Wang Wei actually knows a lot about such a thing. That's why this thing was prepared.

At this time, the sword was already said to be sent in front of Song Jun, and the shape of the sword from various angles was also displayed on the big screen, which was also convenient for everyone to make an identification.

Of course, at this time, Wang Wei was the first to introduce and said: "Brother Song, everyone, let me introduce first, my sword, I collected it from an antique market in the mainland, at that time, the price was 5,000 yuan, it was found on an antique stall, I thought it was not a good thing, but the stall owner said at that time, this sword is a kind of sword in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I didn't believe it very well at the time, but the stall owner swore that he swore that this was a sword, a treasure unearthed from the ancient tomb, There is a very significant feature, that is, how to burn, this sword just does not get hot.

At that time, I was also a little excited, 5,000 yuan, which is not a valuable thing, even if it is eye-catching, it is nothing.

As a result, I later bought it back and after the expert's appraisal, this is a sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, there is nothing wrong, not to mention anything else, just this sword is from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it also proves that I am right at such a time.

Please also ask Brother Song to help take a look. "This point, that is very important, and it is also the place where Wang Wei focuses on showing off, 5,000 yuan bought a bronze from the Spring and Autumn Period, which in itself is indeed a thing worth celebrating.

Therefore, on such a question, Song Jun also thinks that Wang Wei is a relatively lucky guy, and it seems that he has some ability, otherwise, he would not have bought this sword on the stall.

At this time, Song Jun looked at it carefully before saying, "Mr. Wang, there is a question I want to ask, that is, in such a situation, when did this sword arrive." ”

Wang Wei paused for a moment and said, "Five years ago, is there any connection between the authenticity of this good sword?" ”

Song Jun nodded and said: "The connection is still not hidden, because at such a time, I ask for a question, that is, the time of this sword, you see that between the two grids of this sword handle, there is actually a small oval hole slightly larger than a grain of rice.

Such a small hole is actually a characteristic of the sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, generally speaking, imitations do not have such a thing. At least, there were no such holes on the imitation of the bronze sword from three years ago. However, in the last two or three years, those who imitate it seem to have noticed this, so there have been improvements, and some imitations are also related to this characteristic.

Therefore, I want to determine when this sword arrived with Mr. Wang. ”

In the past, it was true that the bronzes were not very valuable, so on such a question, even if they were imitations, they were not very careful to imitate.

If you can sell it as an antique, then fool people, and make more money, if you can't fool people, then sell it as a work of art. Anyway, the cost of counterfeiting is very low, as long as you don't lose money, it means that there is no big deal.

But in the past two years, the situation has been a little different, because of the problem of the bronze beast head in the Old Summer Palace, the bronze market has begun to become popular, so the market for bronze has also followed the force, and the price has risen in a straight line, therefore. These two years. In terms of the counterfeiting of bronzes. It is also quite marketable and powerful, and those people have indeed imitated a batch of good bronzes with their hearts.

Some of them are high-end, and they can even be mixed. It's not surprising that it should be auctioned as real bronzes.

Wang Wei was a little unconvinced and said: "Such a piece of evidence, it can't prove that this thing must be something from the Spring and Autumn Period, Brother Song should also come up with some convincing evidence." ”

Song Jun didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Bronze, look at the patina, in fact, use your fingernails to gently buckle it, if it is said that it can be directly deducted." That basically proves that it is a fake, because the patina is actually glued to it by antique dealers.

But if it's like this sword, if it can't be deducted, then in such a thing, in fact, it is a relatively noteworthy thing at this point.

This should prove with considerable certainty that the patina above is real. ”

Something like that. It's very simple to say, but there are really not many people who can pay attention to such details, and it means that in such a situation, this kind of thing is more to talk about, even if everyone knows, no one may pay attention to it.

Because picking it with a fingernail cover is itself a certain amount of chance.

At this time, it can also prove that Wang Wei is a bit capable, at least a little more profound than some rich people who are doing antiques. Therefore, he knows more about some doorways in Zhengzhou.

Hearing Song Jun's words, Wang Wei immediately said: "This thing is not necessarily, some counterfeiters directly bury the bronze in the toilet, and the process of the formation of this patina is also not strong, because it is the real patina that grows."

Although it takes a lot of time to do this, in such a problem, in fact, no matter what it is, this matter, in fact, is more worthwhile, because this kind of counterfeiting method that takes a long time, patina is real, and it can deceive some people. ”

This is indeed a means of doing old in the bronze market, in such a situation, in fact, this kind of method, now more and more people know in the industry, but the counterfeiter seems to have identified this method, that is, he is unwilling to change, but, to say, this method can still deceive a considerable number of people every year.

Why is this one thing, in fact, there are only two words, greed, if a person is blinded by greed, then in such a thing, it actually means that it will become more unbearable.

This is a double-edged sword, the more people who know, the more people who use this method to make old things, and in this way, the more people will be fooled. Actually, this is a problem that is not easy to deal with.

Wang Wei brought it up at this time, but it was a bit surprising. You must know that this sword is his, can it be said that this guy believes that this is a fake bronze sword of the Spring and Autumn Period? Anyway, everyone's eyes on Wang Wei at this time are a little different.

Therefore, at such a time, everyone began to pay attention to Song Jun, and watched Song Jun, a young appraiser, how to answer such a commonplace question in the industry.

Song Jun really pondered it this time, but he also said that no one bothered him, because after all, this is a relatively difficult problem in the industry.

At such a time, no one said that they did not expect Song Jun to be able to answer directly. Therefore, on such a question, it is understandable that Song Jun has been thinking for a little longer.

In the end, Song Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "I really don't have an effective way to prevent this problem, and it is estimated that even the relevant units may not have an effective way.

But although I said that there is no way to make such a thing not happen well, then at such a time, I do say that I have a little experience of this identification.

It's the same thing that Mr. Wang said. According to Mr. Wang's approach, such a problem, in fact, no matter what it is, these patinas grow on it, not with glue.

This is actually two realms in the counterfeiting industry, one is to fool the general layman, just fake it casually, the cost is low, the amount of profit will come up, as long as it is said that one or two people in ten can fool one. That's to make money. But there is another kind of high imitation. Imitate some antiques with care. Among some of these imitations, there is a way to drop as Mr. Wang said.

That is, buried in the toilet, or buried in the farmland to water some bloody human urine or something. Anyway, there are many ways to do it. These methods of falsification are time-consuming and costly. But the aspect of fooling people is also quite convincing, and it is the representative of the real industry that has not been open for three years and has been open for three years.

In fact, there is a method of identification.

Because, after such a forgery, no matter what, a certain amount of acidic substances will be produced to adhere to the surface of the bronze, in this case, if you use cleaning water and add some alkaline noodles that northerners say, that is, a food additive used when frying fritters. If you wipe the bronze, you can show a different kind of blue, which will prove that the bronze is a fake. ”

There is no alkaline surface on site, and there is no bronze cleaning water. This cleaning water is a specially configured cleaning liquid, cleaning antiques with clean water, which is no different from looking for death, basically, even rookies in the industry will not do this.

But cleaning antiques is a special cleaning liquid, I think it was said back then, of course, it was said, there is no historical evidence.

The national treasure Siyang Fangzun, was bombed into a pile of fragments during the war, and later, in the process of restoration, in fact, a kind of cleaning water was used, what is the formula is unknown, but it is said that a special cleaning water for bronze was used.

This kind of cleaning water, although the formula is similar, but after all, there are still differences, everyone's configuration process is different, therefore, in such a situation, according to different bronzes with different cleaning water, this is very normal, people in the line seem to be used to it.

However, adding some alkaline noodles to the cleaning water is a practice that ordinary people really can't imagine.

Therefore, on such a question, what Wang Wei really thought of after hearing it was actually a question like this, whether what Song Jun said was effective.

But he saw that Song Jun didn't mean to stop, but it was not easy to say anything, because the lady didn't wait for Song Jun to finish speaking, so these people were slapped in the face, which everyone remembers vividly.

Therefore, when Song Jun didn't finish speaking, they were all listening quietly to see what kind of evidence Song Jun would come up with.

At that moment, Song Jun also picked up the sword and said: "The little trick I said, you may not be able to verify it now, you can test it when you go back, and ensure that you have unexpected surprises."

I can tell you that at least one-third of the bronzes in Hong Kong are high imitations. In the mainland, such a figure is conservatively estimated to be more than half.

This is also one of the reasons why the beast heads in the Old Summer Palace are so popular.

Because that thing is from the Qing Dynasty, if you want to imitate it, it is not easy to make people believe. Because that thing is only more than 200 years ago, and these things have fallen into the hands of those people in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and they are generally inherited in an orderly manner.

Therefore, the imitation comparison of this thing is unconvincing.

And those bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they are imitated, they are familiar with the way. Therefore, the bronze market in the mainland is relatively chaotic, but on the port side, the market is not necessarily very good. ”

At this time, in fact, Song Jun also threw out a time bomb, a very large time bomb, such a problem, in fact, the people present were also very clear, knowing that such a problem exists.

But they've always said that it's not very good to believe that.

Or maybe they deliberately don't believe in such a problem, thinking that the antique market in Port City is a good antique market.

But now it is still punctured by an outsider like Song Jun.

This made the people present very uncomfortable, but what Song Jun said seemed to be not easy to refute, to refute Song Jun, there must be relevant evidence, but they did not have such evidence.

Therefore, everyone's mood was not very good at this time, and Song Jun was too direct to speak. In this way, it is difficult for a character to mix in the antique market.
