Forthwith.

In Zhang Yi's mind, a voice came.

"Excuse me, is it an appraisal?"

"Identification!"

Zhang Yi said secretly in his heart.

Let's be honest.

He was also very curious, what is the situation with this big book case?

Next.

In my head, the voice of identification came.

"The case of the late Qing Dynasty Huanghuali book."

"Huanghuali, also known as fragrant sandalwood. Its wood color is golden and warm, and the heartwood is darker, reddish-brown or dark brown, with the texture of rhino horn. ”

"Because the wood properties of rosewood are very stable, regardless of cold and heat, it will not be deformed, cracked, or bent, and it has a certain toughness and can make all kinds of special-shaped furniture."

"In addition, the grain of rosewood is clear, like flowing water. The most special thing is that there are many wooden boils common in the wood grain, and these wooden boils are also very flat and do not crack, and some can show the texture of fox head, old man's head and hair, which is beautiful and lovely, that is, people often say grimace. ”

"This Huanghuali book case has a grimace, and it is very natural, not an artificially dyed or synthetic grimace. It does look like a real Huanghuali bookcase. ”

"But this book case, hidden under the exterior, has something else."

"The appearance of the bookcase is indeed Huanghuali. However, the inside of the bookcase is not rosewood. Therefore, this is a fake of the Huanghuali large bookcase made by wrapping a thin layer of huanghuali wood on the surface in order to save huanghuali wood. And the inside of this table is made of very ordinary poplar wood! ”

"Outside the gold and jade, the defeat is in it."

"Therefore, this Huanghuali big book case is a big book case of old fakes with Huanghuali wood veneer in the late Qing Dynasty."

No wonder.

When Zhang Yi caresses the surface, there will be bulging places.

Seemingly.

It's been a long time.

Even the fake Huanghuali bookcase with perfect craftsmanship has already appeared to peel.

And the expert's appraisal is impossible to cut the Huanghuali book case open.

The protrusion on the surface may be regarded as the deliberate act of the bookcase carpenter.

After all, those bumps aren't very noticeable and don't have an impact on their use. Even, in some specific bookcase uses, there are special uses.

For example, splashed ink paintings.

Some painters will deliberately make a slightly uneven table.

In order to make the artistic style of splashed ink painting, get the greatest bloom.

Seeing that Zhang Yi has been reading this bookcase.

Wang Chang immediately asked.

"Mr. Zhang, how is it, what is the problem with this Huanghuali book case?"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand.

Knocked on the raised part of the large desk table, and knocked on the non-bulge area.

The sound is different.

Wang Chang naturally heard it.

He immediately asked.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Yi replied.

"The Huanghuali wood veneer bag fakes at the end of the Qing Dynasty, ancient fakes, are also antiques, but it is not suitable to be used as the cover of your auction catalogue, this bookcase, the starting price is twenty or thirty thousand, you can also try!"

"After all, although this thing is not Huanghuali, but with the skin of Huanghuali, some people who are unwilling to spend a lot of money and want to use high-end tables to save face may start it."

Wang Chang was stunned.

"Mr. Zhang! You say...... You say this thing only has a layer of yellow pear skin? Is this a fake? ”

Wang Chang still couldn't believe it.

"That's right, it's poplar in there. Moreover, the legs of this table case are also poplar wrapped with a layer of huanghuali, and the workmanship is very fine, and in the Qing Dynasty, it must have been deceived by this! ”

Zhang Yi explained.

"There must be a flaw in the place under the leg that touches the ground, right? It has been nearly 200 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there should be serious wear and tear on such a large book case! However, experts have inspected the worn parts, why haven't they seen it? ”

Wang Chang is still skeptical.

Zhang Yi called two people and tilted the entire large table.

"Mr. Wang, you see, this wear surface is indeed Huanghuali, and basically this texture can also match the texture on the table leg. However, you can knock down the bottom and top of the table leg and the sound is different. Moreover, the table leg is close to the ground, five centimeters, why leave such a bulge? ”

Zhang Yi asked.

Wang Chang knocked on his own and listened carefully, the sound of the bulge above and below was indeed different.

"This bulge should be used for decoration, right?"

Wang Chang guessed.

Zhang Yi shook his head.

He said.

"The legs of the whole table are not decorated, but near the ground, there is this not very good-looking decoration. There is no decoration above the table leg, because, in order to facilitate the veneer, such a bulge appears at the bottom, because it is convenient to connect a piece of solid wood Huanghuali table leg. ”

Wang Chang was stunned.

Because what Zhang Yi said is impeccable.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you know so much?"

In fact.

It is determined that this Huanghuali table case is a Qing Dynasty fake, these things, it is not difficult to guess.

Fraud must be a complete set, otherwise, how can you deceive the eyes of those experts?

Estimate.

The people who were involved in the design of this table at that time must have been very knowledgeable experts.

Of course, Zhang Yi's identification ability cannot be said.

So.

He had no choice but to reply.

"Actually, such fake Huanghuali furniture, I have seen, the workmanship method, is the same reason."

Wang Chang nodded, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, Zhang Yi was well-informed.

What's more, Zhang Yi is still so young.

Furthermore.

Regarding this Huanghuali furniture, the negotiation with Chen Yunfa is Wang Chang's matter, and Zhang Yi doesn't need to think about this.

Therefore, the book case was appraised.

Zhang Yi asked again.

"Mr. Wang, I remember, you said that Chen Yunfa still has a painting and calligraphy?"

Wang Chang nodded.

After the Huanghuali book case was rejected, he still had some loss.

Regarding that painting, Wang Chang couldn't bring it up.

He said.

"That painting and calligraphy is not worth mentioning, it was painted by an unknown painter in the Qing Dynasty, I am going to give him 8,000 yuan to start the auction, and the painting is still okay!"

"Can I take a look?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"Yes, it's over there!"

Wang Chang pointed, and the exhibition hall in front of him had not yet opened, and the two of them walked over.

The painting, which had not yet been hung, was placed in the safe and rolled up.

Estimate.

The painting will be hung up for display before the exhibition hall opens.

Wang Chang went over.

Motioning to the staff to open the safe.

went to the large calligraphy and painting case next to it, and slowly unfolded the painting.

In fact.

Before this painting unfolds.

Zhang Yi saw a special place.

This painting looks much thicker than Zhang Yi's usual paintings, when rolled up.

The scroll inside is also a normal size, Zhang Yi asked, the size of this painting is also in the normal range, not a particularly long size.

That's not normal.
