Chapter 1077: The Seal in Question
The matter was done, and the time was noon, since it was troublesome to Huang Shanyi, it was also appropriate to invite him to a meal, and Huang Shanyi happily agreed.
Then, everyone walked out of the office and prepared to go to the restaurant. At this time, Huang Shanyi saw a brocade box that Ying Mingxin was carrying, so he asked, "Mr. Ying, what you are holding in your hand is the high-imitation fake you said, right?" ”
Waiting for Ying Mingxin to nod his head in confirmation, he continued: "Can you give me the same insight at that time?" ”
Of course, Ying Mingxin would not disagree with this, so the group walked to the private room of the restaurant, and after ordering the food, Ying Mingxin took out the things.
Seeing that it was actually a beautiful and abnormal Qing Kangxi blue and white tiger river gift picture lid jar, Huang Shanyi was a little surprised at first, and after he looked at the blue and white jar, he asked a little incredulously: "Is this really a fake?" ”
Seeing Huang Shanyi looking at him, Chu Chen explained the flaws again, which made Huang Shanyi completely believe it.
However, what Chu Chen didn't know was that his explanation not only made Huang Shanyi believe in his judgment, but also made Huang Shanyi look at him with admiration, of course, because of the short time of acquaintance, it is not possible to make Huang Shanyi believe it completely for the time being.
Huang Shanyi's attention returned to the porcelain in front of him, he thought of what Ying Mingxin had said before, this kind of porcelain had been found several times before, and then thought of those porcelain treasures at home, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"With such superb imitation technology, I won't be able to fall for it, right?"
Huang Shanyi thought so, and his heart was very unsteady, when he saw Chu Chen. He thought of a simple and effective solution, although he didn't know what Chu Chen's overall appraisal level was. But there must have been a special study of this porcelain, and it is this porcelain that he is now worried about. As long as you ask Chu Chen to help identify it, it's okay.
So, he hurriedly asked with a smile on his face: "Teacher Chu, I don't know if I can ask you for a favor?" ”
As soon as Huang Shanyi asked this, Chu Chen knew what he wanted to ask himself to do, and he promised nothing about this matter, but this afternoon he originally wanted to identify Jiang Jiachang's Hailao porcelain, is it going to be postponed until tomorrow?
Seeing that Chu Chen seemed a little hesitant, Huang Shanyi hurriedly said, "Teacher Chu, I'm not in a hurry over there. You can go back when you're done. ”
At this time, Jiang Jiachang smiled and said that he was not in a hurry, the reason why he said this was also for Chu Chen's sake, favors are the most difficult things to repay, Chu Chen just owed Huang Shanyi a favor, and now it is undoubtedly the best choice to pay it back immediately. And his Hailao porcelain won't be bad if it's there, so why not be happy for Chu Chen?
Since Jiang Jiachang said so. Chu Chen agreed to the matter. Huang Shanyi was very happy about this and expressed his gratitude.
After a hearty lunch, everyone took the car to Huang Shanyi's mansion. The area here is larger than Chu Chen's villa. The layout and decoration of the courtyard are in Chinese style, and so is the interior decoration.
Huang Shanyi was more hospitable, and he invited everyone to drink tea for a while. After a few small talks, he stood up. He led everyone to a room next to the study.
Chu Chen saw that there were several cabinets such as Bogu shelves in the room, and there were many antique artworks on them. Among them, porcelain accounts for the largest proportion, and there are about twenty or thirty pieces. Although the number is not much, it looks like all of them are high-quality products, and each piece is a national treasure, and everyone can't help but salivate a little when they see it.
Huang Shanyi also felt a little proud of everyone's reaction, and he said with a smile: "The concept of my collection is to rather lack than excess, and would rather spend more money to buy a rare antique, even if it is not a complete artifact, I will not buy low-grade artifacts." ”
Zhao Qirui nodded in agreement: "I also agree with this, we should buy cultural relics with artistic value when we buy antiques." ”
Ying Mingxin asked: "Can't you buy lower-grade antiques?" ”
"It's not that you can't buy it, but it depends on what you buy it for."
Zhao Qirui said: "If you are because of hobby and research, then it is definitely no problem to buy low-grade antiques, if it is used for collection and investment, it is better to buy high-quality antiques, not to mention fast appreciation, because of the high popularity, it is more convenient to get rid of." Specifically, we have to listen to the opinions of people in the communication industry. ”
It is self-evident who the professionals in his mouth are.
Seeing that everyone looked at him, Chu Chen said with a smile: "In fact, it is generally best to buy collections with the three standards of 'true, fine, and strange', true refers to genuine products, fine is fine antiques, that is, antiques with relatively high historical value and artistic value, strange is rare, and rare is the law in market transactions. ”
"In addition to these three points, when we buy antiques, it is best to choose ...... with strong use from the past to the present."
Ying Mingxin asked curiously: "What is an antique with strong use in the past and in the present?" ”
Chu Chen said: "It is the ancient art works that can be worn and played with now, suitable for decoration and hanging for viewing. For example, if it is the same ancient jade, the jade pendant and jade plate that can be worn and decorated are higher than the value of jade with a hook. ”
Everyone nodded in understanding, and Chu Chen continued: "Our antique jargon says, 'porcelain is hairy, not worth a cent', 'porcelain is hairy, not worth half a penny', and 'if you want to collect it, you will collect it' is also a common concept of everyone." However, this is also relatively speaking, otherwise there would not be the phrase "even if you have a lot of money, it is better to have a piece of Jun porcelain". ”
"In our antique market, the first-class quality of famous porcelain is limited and expensive, and those high-grade slightly disabled porcelain are not rare, and even the damaged 'fine porcelain' and high-grade porcelain specimens have become high-priced and sought-after goods in the market, and a low-grade complete Republic of China porcelain is not as good as a high-grade porcelain piece."
"From this, it can also be seen that people have a high awareness of the value of art, so when we buy antiques, we should put artistic standards in the first place. Between the low-grade and high-end remnants, you should give priority to buying exquisite remnants, like high-end remnants are a piece of dragon scales, and low-grade remnants are a pig. ”
Hearing this, everyone chuckled a few times, and they also recognized Chu Chen's analysis. Of course, they are all not bad money, unless there is no way, it is possible to buy a wreckage.
Next, Chu Chen helped to identify the porcelain, while Huang Shanyi took others to admire his collection, and introduced related numbers and stories from time to time, and everyone listened to them with relish.
In fact, Huang Shanyi bought these porcelain, all of them were identified by famous experts, and there was more than one, therefore, the possibility of error was very low, he asked Chu Chen to appraise it, just to ask for peace of mind, after all, he spent so much money, and he had a little doubt in his heart, so he had to figure it out, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable in his heart.
After Chu Chen carefully appreciated the pieces one by one, he found that there were no fakes among them, but he felt that it was worthwhile to see so many precious porcelains at once.
Seeing Chu Chen coming over, Huang Shanyi hurriedly asked a little nervously, "How is it?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I think they should all be genuine." ”
Huang Shanyi was also very happy when he heard Chu Chen's reply, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that it was just a gesture, at this moment, he saw that on the Bogu shelf in front of him, there was a Tianhuang seal, this seal looks pure and rich in stone, yellow with red, clear as freezing, vaguely revealing the spirit of a king, in terms of material, it is a rare good seal.
It was rare to see such an excellent Tian Huang seal on one side, Chu Chen was also a little happy, pointed to the seal, and asked: "Mr. Huang, can I appreciate this seal?" ”
Huang Shanyi followed Chu Chen's gaze and said with a smile that there was no problem.
Chu Chen stepped forward and carefully took the seal in his hand, this seal was a regular square, long and delicate, and perfectly proportioned. The lines in the stone are clear, the silk threads are like brocade, because of the plain worklessness, and it shows the psychic of its texture. There is a line of inscription engraved on one side of the plain wall, and the seal of "Changshuo Wu Jun" is at the end of the book.
In addition, the printed text on the printing surface is the four characters of "accumulation of small buildings" in seal script.
Seeing that Chu Chen was very interested in this Fang Tian Huang seal, everyone else also gathered around, and when they saw the payment, they were all a little surprised, but they didn't expect that this was actually the seal engraved by Wu Changshuo.
Wu Changshuo was a famous painter, calligrapher, and seal carver in the late Qing Dynasty, and was an outstanding representative of the "Houhai School".
His seal study stone drum text, with the pen method at the beginning by Deng Shiru, Zhao Zhiqian and others influenced, later in the writing of "stone drum" in the integration of adaptation.
His seal carvings often show the characteristics of Xiàn majestic and charming, clumsy and simple, ugly and beautiful, ancient and modern, and changing and positive. Take Ding Yi on the top, Qin and Han on the bottom, and create a zào with a carving knife of "out of the front obtuse angle", combining the cutting and punching techniques of Qian Song and Wu Rangzhi to govern the seal.
His seal carving works can show vigor in the beautiful place, see the simplicity in the smooth place, and see the skill inadvertently. His works are also highly sought after by the world.
Chu Chen was also a little fond of this impression at first, and had an urge to buy it, but when he looked around the printing surface, he found that there seemed to be traces of wear, which made him a little puzzled.
Many beginner Shoushan stone collectors will have such a move, an old seal into their hands, will grind off the engraving on it, because after all, it is not their own name, there is no point in keeping it. In fact, if you really get the ancient seal, it is best not to polish off the seal and the side paragraph, so as not to regret it afterwards.
Of course, in addition to the fact that it is not their own name, some people may not like the content on it, so they grind off the seal and then engrave the content they want, but this is the seal engraved by Wu Changshuo, so why rub it off? And it begs another question...... (To be continued......)
