Chapter 198: Appraisal (II)

"Hey, sir, what are you doing here?"

There was a staff member in the bronze hall, and he didn't know what had just happened, seeing Qin Feng scribbling on the placed items with a carbon pen in his hand, he naturally wouldn't agree.

"Xiao Liu, don't care."

Wei Hua narrowed his eyes, as the boss, of course he knew that the thing in him was real and that thing was fake, and the Tiger Venerable wine vessel that Qin Feng crossed just now was a modern imitation.

To be honest, Qin Feng's unhesitating action surprised Wei Hua as well.

Because the imitations in this, from firing to old, are specially made by Wei Hua, and the cost of each utensil is as high as tens of thousands, even if it is a fake, it can also be called a high-imitation work of art.

Wei Hua put away the trace of contempt for Qin Feng in his heart, and asked, "Xiao Qin, the meaning of the cross is fake, how can you tell it?" ”

"Bronze wine vessels were generally popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and were basically rarely used in the Qin and Han dynasties."

Qin Feng continued to walk towards a piece of ware, but his mouth explained: "This Tiger Venerable is very clever in terms of craftsmanship and old-fashioned craftsmanship......

However, most of the tiger shapes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties are more abstract and exaggerated, but this tiger is engraved vividly, and some similarities in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tigers of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there is only one conclusion, this tiger wine vessel is fake! ”

Qin Feng's words were loud, and he explained the background and characteristics of this vessel, and no matter whether anyone in the audience understood bronze or not, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

"Xiao Qin is right, the shape of this Tiger Venerable Wine Vessel is indeed wrong."

As the leading bronze identification expert in China, Ganyafu said: "The current counterfeiting process is indeed very clever, but those people still lack some historical knowledge and heritage, and the resulting objects are inevitably a little different......

Ganyaf is also a relatively pure scholar. Otherwise, he would not have made such great achievements in academics, this speech is inevitably a bit too direct, he didn't see it, after saying this, Boss Wei's face suddenly fell.

The thing was imitated and made old by Wei Hua, Gan Yafu commented like this, doesn't it mean that he is uneducated, it is strange that Boss Wei can feel comfortable.

"Teacher Gan, you can't say that. Boss Wei should have deliberately made this flaw, otherwise it would not be a high imitation, it would be a fraud to deceive people......"

Qin Feng knew that he was a bit noisy today, and he didn't want to be hated by people like Wei Hua, so he immediately opened his mouth and gave Boss Wei a step.

"You're pretty good at talking. Let's move on to other things......"

Wei Hua shook his head with a wry smile, he had just slapped him. This backhand stuffed a red date into his mouth again. But Wei Hua is still dumb and eats coptis...... There is bitterness that cannot be spoken.

"The shape of this bronze horn is right, and this bronze horn is undoubtedly genuine."

Walking past another place where two wine vessels were placed, Qin Feng stopped, picked them up, and said, "Ancient people were very particular about seniority and humility. Especially when the temple is worshipped, it must be the Venerable who raises his eyes and the humble ones who raise their horns......"

After the pieces of bronzes were identified, Qin Feng casually gave a genuine identification. However, he will not be as big as he was just now, even if it is fake, Qin Feng will hold it in his hand for a while.

Unlike others who identify objects, Qin Feng's magnifying glass is rarely used, but he often takes the bronze to his nose to sniff, and sometimes uses his tongue to lick some items, which makes everyone in the audience a little inexplicable.

However, although the method of identification is very unique, Qin Feng has looked at more than 20 bronzes, and none of them are wrong about the real or fake, which can be seen from Wei Hua's face.

Moreover, Qin Feng didn't finish looking at an object, Gan Yafu would take it in his hand for an appraisal, and he didn't speak, which also showed that Qin Feng's judgment was not wrong.

"Huh? This bronze sword is kind of interesting. ”

Qin Feng walked to the edge of a shelf, took down the bronze sword that shimmered with cold light from the shelf, looked at it carefully for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "This process is simply forcing Qin and Han, if the sword-making person is placed in ancient times, it must be a master of the same level as Ou Yezi and those people......"

The bronze sword that Qin Feng held in his hand was about 90 centimeters long, and there was no shortage of accessories such as the sword head, sword grid, copper, and copper swords, but the wood on the hilt had long since decayed, and the blade was sharp and shining.

"Qin Feng, what do you mean is that this sword is fake?" Wei Hua, who had been following behind Qin Feng, couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and his heart could catch the handle of your kid.

Qin Feng nodded, and said without hesitation: "It's fake, although the shape of the weapon is right, and there are similar bronze swords unearthed, but this one is still fake." ”

"Haha, Xiao Qin, you're out of sight."

Wei Hua laughed loudly, his voice was extremely cheerful, and after laughing, he said: "I got this bronze sword at an auction in a small town in England, and the grandfather of the seller once came to our country to ...... back then."

Wei Hua had lived abroad for a few years, and when the domestic antique craze was rising, he immediately realized that this was a business opportunity, but Wei Hua did not compete with those antique dealers at home, but set his sights on foreign markets.

Because Wei Hua knows that in the past 100 years in modern times, due to various wars, the precious antiques lost abroad have actually far exceeded the existing cultural relics in China.

When Wei Hua quietly acquired cultural relics in European countries, he found that there were many people who had the same idea as him, and he had encountered Chinese bidders in several auctions.

This bronze sword is like this, Wei Hua could have bought it for 30,000 pounds, but because of the participation of a compatriot, Wei Hua spent a full 80,000 pounds, converted into RMB, which is more than one million.

Now that Qin Feng dared to say that it was fake, Wei Hua consciously grabbed Qin Feng's pigtails, he wanted to see if this kid could be arrogant anymore?

Looking at Wei Hua with a proud face, Qin Feng said leisurely: "Boss Wei, the moon abroad may not be rounder than the domestic one......"

"Huh? Xiao Qin, what do you mean by that? ”

Wei Hua was really angry this time, he just looked away, and no one would do anything to Qin Feng. But if you don't admit it, there is something wrong with this quality.

Wei Hua is also a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and his face is tightened, and he has a momentum that is not angry but powerful.

For example, Feng Yongkang and the others beside Qin Feng all felt unnatural for a while, this is a kind of "might" created by wealth and status! ”

"It's not interesting, Boss Wei, a fake is a fake, I can't say he's real, right?" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, the momentum on Wei Hua's body. It doesn't work for him at all.

Casually put the bronze sword back on the shelf, Qin Feng said: "The shape of this bronze sword is right, the formula of the materials should be from the ancient recipe, the combination of various metals is correct, and it can be ...... if it is old."

"But ......"

Qin Feng changed the topic. said: "However, Xunzi, a scholar in the late Warring States period, once said: Criminal Fan Zheng, Jin Ximei. Ingenuity. The fire is all right, and the punishment is not evil, but if it is not stripped off, it is not strong, the rope cannot be broken, and it can be stripped off. If you are strong, you will be in a bowl, and the cow and horse will suddenly ......"

There was no shortage of master-level scholars in the venue, and Qin Feng's words did not fall. Gan Yafu asked, "Qin Feng, are you talking about Xunzi's sword-making theory?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Gan, you see, the material formula of this sword is correct, but there is something wrong with the craftsman.

Mr. Gan, if you look at the texture of the sword here, it is obvious that this is stripped out, that is to say, the material used to make this sword is far more than just making this one......"

Pointing to the beautiful texture on the sword, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "But when bronze swords were made in ancient times, they were all cast with sword models, do you need to say more about the authenticity?" ”

The reason is actually very simple, like this kind of high-imitation bronze, the cost of counterfeiting is too high, and counterfeiters are naturally unwilling to make only one at a time.

So they would first use the material to fire the bronze, and then use the machine to cut it into the shape of a sword, and Zuihou would sharpen it, but the marks of the machine cutting could not be completely eliminated.

"Xiao Qin, you're right......"

After looking at the place Qin Feng pointed out for a full ten minutes, Gan Yafu let out a long breath, looked at Wei Hua, and said, "Mr. Wei, this is ...... This is a high-imitation Warring States bronze sword. ”

"This ...... It's impossible, I'...... This bronze sword was received from abroad! ”

Wei Hua's brain was a little cloudy when he heard this, in his thoughts, there are countless counterfeits in domestic antique shops, but foreigners are very law-abiding, he has been abroad since the early eighties, and he has never bought any fakes.

"Mr. Wei, what Xiao Qin said is right, the moon abroad may not be rounder than the domestic one!"

Gan Yafu repeated Qin Feng's words, and said with a wry smile: "In recent years, we have identified a lot of cultural relics recovered from abroad, and we have also found that there are many fakes and high imitations......

"Is it really fake?"

Wei Hua's voice was a little bitter, this face is really embarrassing today, fortunately he didn't tell anyone how much this bronze sword was charged, otherwise I'm afraid that Ming'er would spread all over the capital.

"It's a fake ......"

Gan Yafu nodded and said: "Mr. Wei, in the future, when you go abroad to auction antiques, it is best to participate in the auctions held by those big auction houses, and in those places, counterfeiters cannot infiltrate them." ”

In foreign countries, there will be some family-style auctions, often held in a small town or a village, and those counterfeiters will seize the opportunity to pay the local population to put on such a play.

However, those well-known auction houses in Shijie, for their own reputation, are very strict in the review of lots, and it is difficult for such high-imitation fakes to enter large-scale auctions.

"Xiao Qin has a good eye, if I take you there, I won't be fooled by this."

Wei Hua is quite open-minded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "This object can be regarded as paying tuition, Mr. Gan, I don't pay much for this tuition, right?" ”

"Well, of course, let's make a joke about this."

Gan Yafu heard that Boss Wei was looking for the bottom of the stairs, and immediately smiled: "Last year, a boss asked me to go to his house to help him identify antiques, good guy, that villa from the first floor to the third floor, full of antiques.

I examined him for three days, went through all the objects, and guess how many real things were in them? ”

Without waiting for everyone to talk, Ganyafu said: "Of the three, more than 400 antiques, only three are genuine. And it's all things from the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they're not worth a lot of money, so it's too normal for us to be in this business. ”

"Well, Gan is right."

Old Man Qi, who had not spoken since he entered the venue, suddenly said: "Xiao Wei, you don't have to mind too much, I didn't spend less money on the old man back then......

With the words of Old Man Qi and Gan Yafu, Wei Hua's expression suddenly became natural, and the characters of the Taishan Beidou level in today's antique shop have all bought fakes. What is it for him to look away once?

After figuring it out, Wei Hua had admiration for Qin Feng, who was still identifying the bronzes, others had just entrusted him, and he had real talent and real learning. It's not sensationalism.

Qin Feng's actions were very fast, less than an hour. So he walked to a place in Zuihou. On the platform covered with red satin, there are more than a dozen ancient mirrors.

After Qin Feng looked at the ancient mirror for a full ten minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Huh?" Mr. Wei, where did you get this ancient mirror from? ”

"This ...... I bought it from a stall in the early years and didn't cost much money. ”

Seeing those ancient mirrors, Wei Hua's expression was a little strange. After explaining, he asked rhetorically, "Xiao Qin, what's wrong with these ancient mirrors?" Is it also fake? ”

To be honest, in order to make this bronze hall seem more substantial. These ancient mirrors are really what Wei Hua found someone to do.

However, Wei Hua couldn't figure out Qin Feng's routine a little, for fear that he would say the wrong thing again, so he simply said that he had received it, anyway, this thing was not strictly a bronze, but a category of miscellaneous.

"Boss Wei, good eyesight, you can pick up a big hair!"

While Wei Hua was thinking wildly, Qin Feng suddenly cocked his thumb and said, "These bronze mirrors should be unearthed, but they are also some years old, and they are all genuine!" ”

"What? It's true? "Wei Hua's brain is a little confused, he thought that the real gold thing was a fake, and this pile of things made by someone is actually real?

"Yes, it should be true."

The whole appraisal is about to end, and Gan Yafu, who is already indisputable about Qin Feng's professional knowledge, is also holding a bronze mirror to identify.

Pointing to a mirror in his hand, Gan Yafu said: "Xiao Qin is right, this should be the bronze mirror of the Sui and Tang Dynasties or some earlier Nan Chen, but the value of this thing is not high, Xiao Qin, how can you say that you have picked up a big leak?" ”

As a small category of miscellaneous, there are not many collectors of domestic bronze mirrors, and even if they are real ancient mirrors, the price is often between tens and hundreds, and they are not valued by those collectors.

"Wait, two, this ...... Is this thing really real? Wei Hua interrupted Ganyafu's words, he really didn't understand, how could this fake mirror made by someone become real?

However, Wei Hua didn't know that because the price of the ancient mirror was very low at this time, and the production process was very troublesome, not only to make the shape of the instrument polished, but also to make it old, which took the time and wages enough to buy a bunch in the market.

The guy who took over Wei Hua's business just moved this thought, and it just so happened that he knew a group of tomb robbers in Yu Province, and spent six hundred yuan to buy twelve newly unearthed ancient mirrors, one of which was broken in half.

It's just that the guy charged Wei Hua a few thousand yuan for the production fee, so naturally he wouldn't say that he received these bronze mirrors, and after getting the bronze mirrors, Wei Hua also praised the man for doing a good job.

It wasn't until Qin Feng's appraisal was over today that Wei Hua found the person out and asked about it, and he learned the truth, and in his heart it was a five-body surrender that admired Qin Feng, of course, these are all later words.

"Boss Wei, there is no doubt that the thing is real......"

Qin Feng nodded solemnly, picked up the two broken bronze mirrors, and said, "And these two bronze mirrors still have a great history!" ”

"Got a great background?"

Now not only Wei Hua's head is confused, but even Gan Yafu is also a little confused, not to mention that this is a bronze mirror broken in half, no matter how good the condition is, I'm afraid it will be worth a thousand dollars, right?

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, have you heard the story of the reunion of the broken mirror?" ”

"What? Reunion of husband and wife after an enforced separation or rupture? ”

"This ...... Is this the mirror? ”

"Impossible, right? How can there be such a coincidence? ”

As soon as Qin Feng's words came out, there was a sudden sensation in the venue, and almost everyone rushed up, just to see the mirror that was broken into two pieces, even Qi Gong couldn't sit still, and squeezed over with Li Ran's support.

The story is that Xu Deyan, the prince of Chen in the Southern Dynasty, and his wife, Princess Lechang, are afraid that the two will not be able to meet after the country is broken.

Therefore, Xu Deyan split a bronze mirror, and the two of them each held half of it, and sold the broken mirror in the city on the first day of his year, hoping to meet each other by borrowing the bronze mirror.

Later, the Chen Dynasty perished, and the princess did not enter the house of Yang Su, the prince of Yue in the Sui Dynasty, Xu Deyan went to Beijing as scheduled, and saw that there was a man selling half a mirror, and he was half compatible, so he learned the whereabouts of his wife.

Yang Su is also a temperamental, and after learning about this, he returned the princess to Xu Deyan, so that the two reunited and returned to Jiangnan for the rest of their lives.

In later generations, people often used the idiom and story of "reunion after breaking the mirror" to metaphorize the reunion or reconciliation of husband and wife after separation or breakup.

The most important thing in the antique shop is inheritance, the more there is a story and a heritage of the object, the more precious, even if it is a toilet, as long as you can cite the classics to prove that it was used by Qianlong, it is also worth a thousand gold.

So if Qin Feng can really prove that these two bronze mirrors are the mirrors in the idiom, I am afraid that Wei Hua's club will not need any publicity, and Ming'er will be popular in the entire antique circle in China. (To be continued......)
