Chapter 162: Western Zhou Ding and Tang Crown
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Then I'll be relieved!" ”
He pointed to the Buddha statue that he had just identified with his gold-controlling ability, and said to the boss, "I want this!" ”
The boss's face twitched slightly, after this real Buddha statue was taken away by this little white face, the other fake Buddha statues could not be placed, well, deal with it at a low price to those dealers in Yanjing City.
Lu Xin took out ten stacks of red old man's head from his hiking bag and threw them to the boss, who packed the Buddha statue slightly, put it in a bag, and handed it to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin carried the bag and prepared to go to another stall.
Yang Dayan was dumbfounded: "Senior Brother Lu, how can you be sure that one is genuine?" ”
Lu Xin said with a smile: "I'm not sure, I just think it's more pleasing to the eye, and it feels different from others." ”
"It doesn't feel like anything else?" Yang Dayan shook his head slightly: "How did I feel that all ten of them were exactly the same when I touched it just now!" ”
Lu Xin didn't answer him, and went straight to another shop, and saw a row of bronzes, folded outwards along the flat edge, with double ears slightly skimmed outward, and the inner surface of the ears was decorated with stealing curves, and the exterior was decorated with two weeks of hollow beads, and the abdomen was decorated with a week of stealing curves, with a waxy light all over the body, a round bottom, and animal hooves, with a height of about 60 centimeters, a diameter of about 30 centimeters, and an abdominal diameter of 10 centimeters.
Lu Xin's understanding of this bronze tripod is very superficial, only know the way, the tripod is the most representative of all the bronze utensils that can represent the supreme power, the concept of the earliest power in China to dominate the world is directly related to the birth of the tripod, the bronze tripod is made of red copper and tin and other metals cast, its hardness is very high. Although it has been buried underground for a long time, it is still well preserved. The color of the bronze itself should be golden yellow, and the surface of the excavated bronze has a green, which is not the color of the bronze itself, which is a kind of rust; In addition, Simu Wuding is a national treasure.
He turned his head and asked Yang Dayan: "Senior Brother Yang, is this bronze worth buying?" ”
Yang said with a big smile: "The scarcity of bronzes has led to a narrow market, the bronzes have been produced for a long time, and the Han Dynasty has basically withdrawn from the stage of history, plus the damage in the burial process, or destroyed in the war to cast it for another purpose." and a large number of bronzes that have been lost overseas over the years. This makes it relatively difficult to collect bronzes, and it is not easy to collect them into a series, and collectors are generally reluctant to take bronzes as their preferred collection target. ”
Lu Xin said: "That means that this bronze is not worth looking for?" ”
Yang smiled and said, "You can't say that." 07 years. An antique auction at Hong Kong Dingsheng International. The transaction price of 8 bronzes exceeded 1 million yuan, and the highest single transaction price was 4.554 million yuan. At the 08 Dingsheng International Spring Auction, a late Shang Dynasty animal face pattern urn was sold for 28.98 million yuan. Another piece of Western Han Dynasty inlaid glazed wrong gold and silver lacquer pot was sold for 23.805 million yuan, and in the autumn auction of the same year, Dingsheng International launched a gold and silver dragon head ornament of the Warring States period with no reserve price, which was sold for 16.896 million yuan. Dingsheng International is the main institution of domestic bronze auctions, and it is also the company that has created the most sky-high prices of bronzes, it happens that my family has some business dealings with Dingsheng International, if I can find the real one from these dozen tripods, Ha Luha, through Dingsheng, this suspected bronze tripod of the Western Weekend period should be able to auction for a price of 10 million. ”
When the owner of the shop heard Yang Dayan's discussion, he immediately regretted not falling, why did he only mark the price at 200,000 yuan, and why didn't he mark it at 1 million.
Lu Xin caressed the body of each bronze tripod, feeling the unique red and green rust of the bronze, his current hand can caress and smooth the red and green rust on it, and then he can clearly see whether this red and green rust is natural or later old, but he can't do this, without the red spot and green rust of the bronze will be scrapped historical value.
He used the gold perspective to look at the internal structure of the bronze tripod layer by layer, and found that only one of the bronze tripods had red spots and green rust that naturally oozes out of the tripod body, not intentionally, and only the metal composition of this bronze tripod is different from the others, so it is determined that this bronze tripod is genuine.
Lu Xin once again did not hesitate to drop the twenty stacks of renminbi and took away the bronze tripod of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
In the following time, Yang Dayan kept his eyes wide and looked at Lu Xin's actions in dismay.
Lu Xin arrived at a shop, only selected metal antiques, first asked Yang Dayan about the situation of this antique, and learned that it was collectible, so he stroked them one by one, touched them all, selected one, lost money and took the goods, very neatly, never stayed in a shop for more than ten minutes.
Yang Dayan looked back at the expressions of those shop shopkeepers, and they were all a little twitching, proving that what Lu Xin chose was very likely to be genuine.
Yang Dayan felt inexplicable, Lu Xin was obviously a guy who didn't understand anything, how could he pick the real thing every time?
Not only did Yang Dayan feel a little weird, but there was also a caring person who was aware of Lu Xin's extraordinaryness.
It was a feminine-looking man, he stared at Lu Xin's back with envy and hatred, and whispered to a man beside him: "Husband, let's follow that guy, that guy may have a special method for identifying metal antiques, wait and see which one he wants to choose, let's decide that one first!" ”
Lu Xin came to a shop, this shop is relatively large, the most obvious position is placed on ten identical round gold crowns, all of them are surrounded by eight dragons, each dragon is pointed mouth, short body, the golden crown pattern adopts grass pattern and Ganoderma lucidum cloud shape, the golden crown edge pattern has spray beads, each of which is priced at one million.
Lu Xin looked back at Yang Dayan: "Senior Brother Yang, do you think this crown is true?" ”
Yang Dayan smiled: "This should be the crown of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is the prosperous peak stage of the development of gold, the style of gold ware and ornamentation has undergone great changes during this period, the pattern of the crown belongs to the typical arabesque pattern, the golden crown adopts the Ganoderma lucidum cloud process modeling, which is popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the overall shape is in line with the Tang Dynasty gold dazzling and colorful, rich and romantic, extremely luxurious art style of the times, and the appearance belongs to the crown of a prince in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"How much can this be auctioned off?"
"If you can find out who wears it, according to the level of fame, the auction price varies greatly, for example, if it is worn by Li Shimin when he was the king of Qin, it will be at least 10 million, or even higher!"
Lu Xin had one million left in his backpack, so he was ready to take the crown, and then went to the auction house overnight.
He touched the crowns one by one, using the gold control ability to probe the metal composition of the crowns, this time it was very simple, only one was close to pure gold, and the other nine were all copper, gilded on the surface and then worn.
Lu Xin was about to buy the pure gold crown, when suddenly a tall and strong man rushed over from the side, snatched the golden crown in his hand, and shouted, "We bought it!" (To be continued......)
