Chapter 331: Undercurrent Flow
The gold-inlaid jade butterfly presented in front of Gu Ming's eyes was not big, and the whole was not as big as her palm. (.marshmallow)
From the appearance, this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is carved by the technique of round carving, the butterfly is open-winged and exposed, the wings on both sides are spread, into a wavy shape, and the veins carved out of it can be clearly seen on its surface, and the part close to the butterfly's body on the wings is also decorated with a small golden pattern, making the butterfly wings beautiful and moving.
The head of the butterfly is made of two large round eyes made of gold, and the snout protrudes forward, both of which are made of gold, and the jade part is very well inlaid, which is too natural and not obvious.
"Can I pick it up and take a look?" Gu Ming asked at Pan Rufeng.
Pan Rufeng nodded: "Of course you can." ”
Gu Ming got the permission of the other party, and carefully took out the gold-inlaid jade butterfly from the box.
This jade butterfly is carved from a whole piece of jade, not made by splicing, the butterfly is inlaid on the gold tray, it looks simple and has a little bit of luxury, this looks very cute.
As soon as Gu Ming's left hand touched the jade butterfly, there was a heat on his hand that made people feel hot, whether it was the Jintuo or the jade butterfly itself, the heat was not low, while touching the jade butterfly, Gu Ming's heart suddenly rose with an indescribable sense of pleasure, but there was a very subtle sound of the butterfly flapping its wings from the bottom of her heart.
Generally speaking, the sound of butterflies flapping their wings is inaudible, although Gu Ming's voice from the bottom of her heart at this time is weak, but in fact, this has been amplified I don't know how many times, otherwise Gu Ming would not be able to hear anything.
The heat in the hands, the joy in the heart. There are also voices from the bottom of my heart, all of which prove that this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is a genuine antique.
Gu Ming gently stroked the gold-inlaid jade butterfly in her hand, and always felt that this jade butterfly was like a living one, as if as long as someone moved a little louder and alarmed it, it would fly away from the palm of the person's hand.
Just in case, Gu Ming carefully touched the gold-inlaid jade butterfly, and didn't find anything wrong.
She quietly glanced at Pan Rufeng next to her, Pan Rufeng didn't pay attention to her, but stared closely at the gold-inlaid jade butterfly she was holding in her hand.
I don't know what kind of consideration it was, Gu Ming didn't directly say her judgment. Instead, he took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the gold-inlaid jade butterfly again.
The age of this gold-inlaid jade butterfly can be preliminarily judged to belong to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the gold-inlaid jade butterfly is made by an old worker, and its round carving and engraved lines are smooth and natural, judging from the way of bending. It is the most favorite and most commonly used technique of jade carving masters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and there is a small hole above the snout of the jade butterfly, which seems to be used to tie the rope.
There is a boundary on the back of a gold-inlaid jade butterfly. With just a few brushstrokes, the body and tail of the butterfly are clearly distinguished, and there are six notches at the tail, which vividly depicts the true shape of the butterfly's tail, and to a certain extent, it has a realistic meaning.
Gu Ming carefully rubbed the carved lines on the butterfly's back and the six notches on the tail. The left hand feels the heat that is almost hot when touched, while the right hand touches it lightly. What I feel is a piece of warmth and delicacy.
If Gu Ming is not mistaken, this jade butterfly should be made of green and white jade, although the jade quality is not the best, but it is also poor, and this piece of gold-inlaid jade butterfly has no color on it, but has a thick layer of pulp, which looks very beautiful, and should often be played with in people's hands, looking like something that has been passed down from generation to generation, it doesn't look like it was found from the tomb.
"Miss Gu. I don't know how about this gold-encrusted jade butterfly? Pan Rufeng saw that Gu Ming looked carefully for a long time without making a sound, and couldn't help asking.
Gu Ming withdrew her gaze focused on the gold-inlaid jade butterfly, looked up at Pan Rufeng and said, "I don't know what Miss Pan is here with this gold-inlaid jade butterfly for." Is it to verify its authenticity, or do you want to know how much it will be worth? ”
"Both." Pan Rufeng paused. He spoke again: "This is an important question? ”
"It's not a question of importance or not, but the former I can answer, and I can't be too precise if I'm thick, after all, I don't specialize in antique valuation." Gu Ming smiled at Pan Rufeng.
Pan Rufeng nodded: "Then please ask Miss Gu to tell me if this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is really an antique." ”
"According to my analysis, this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is a genuine product in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, whether it is from its carving process or the form of production, it is more in line with the style of that time. This gold-inlaid jade butterfly is made of green and white jade, and the gold base is made of pure gold, from its color point of view, the gold content of the gold base can be regarded as relatively high at that time, and it may be worn on the body for a long time to play with the reason, the jade butterfly has a thick layer of pulp, making this jade butterfly look more round and lovely. Gu Ming spread the gold-inlaid jade butterfly in the palm of her hand, and pointed to various places of the jade butterfly to explain to Pan Rufeng and Qin Sheng next to him.
Gu Ming's skin was fair and delicate, and the gold-inlaid jade butterfly looked particularly moving in the palm of her hand, which made Qin Sheng's heart move, and suddenly there was an idea of wanting to hide Gu Ming's hand from others and keep it for herself.
It's just that this idea was quickly rejected by him.
Gu Ming is a professional appraiser, relying on the huge amount of knowledge in his brain, and that pair of sensitive hands, even if he is willing to raise Gu Ming without Gu Ming to work, I am afraid that Gu Ming himself is unwilling.
Moreover, he knew how talented Gu Ming was in antique appraisal, and he had no right or qualification to make a rising star in antique appraisal because of his own little selfishness.
"Looks like that guy didn't trick my friend with a fake gadget." When Pan Rufeng heard Gu Ming's words, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Regardless of whether she had any thoughts about Gu Ming, the things she brought were identified as genuine by Gu Ming, and it was impossible for her to make a face at Gu Ming.
"It's pretty good, but if the jade is a little better, I'm afraid the price will be higher." I remember that a cultural relic was unearthed before, it was also a gold-inlaid jade butterfly, the jade quality of the jade butterfly was better than this, and the upper part of the butterfly was inlaid with two rubies, and the lower end of the tail was inlaid with a ruby, which was very luxurious, and it was not ordinary at first glance. The shape of that jade butterfly is very similar to your friend's jade butterfly, if you are interested, you can also check it out for yourself. Gu Ming said and carefully put the gold-inlaid jade butterfly back into the box.
"Miss Gu's level is really good, no wonder Qin Sheng has so much confidence in you." Pan Rufeng turned his head to look at Qin Sheng next to him, and said in a low voice: "In the past, if Qin Sheng encountered this kind of thing, he would ask experienced masters to come and see it. ”
Gu Ming smiled, and didn't take Pan Rufeng's words to heart, but said: "You have wronged him for this, if I hadn't come here suddenly, he would probably still have asked an experienced master to help you identify it, but because I am more interested in new things, he has a rare fake public benefit." Miss Pan, don't worry, he will definitely help Gu Hongzhai's master re-identify it for you later, and you don't have to completely believe my words, maybe I have something wrong. ”
"No need, I don't think Miss Gu should be wrong." Pan Rufeng shook his head and continued: "I believe in Qin Sheng's vision, since he believes in you so much, I have nothing to doubt." ”
Gu Ming couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and glanced at Qin Sheng secretly.
Tsk, there must be something between these two people, otherwise how could they be so affectionate?
Of course, Gu Ming was not stupid enough to question Qin Sheng at this moment, anyway, the two of them didn't seem to be unclear at this moment, and she would always know what she should know.
"Qin Sheng, you often deal with these things, I believe you should know a lot about the market in this regard, look at how much this gold-inlaid jade butterfly can be worth?" Pan Rufeng turned to Qin Sheng and asked.
Qin Sheng glanced at the gold-inlaid jade butterfly, and then spoke: "In recent years, jade products have been sought after by many people, and the ancient jade with long and fine workmanship is even more popular, although the age of this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is not too far away, but it is better to preserve it well, the jade quality is also medium, and the pulp is relatively beautiful, according to the price of similar genuine products on the market, it is conservatively estimated that it should be worth about 400,000 yuan, but if it is auctioned, the price should be higher." ”
"Is there a lot of room for appreciation?" Pan Rufeng asked again.
"The price of jade products changes almost every day, and the appreciation space of this gold-inlaid jade butterfly is not small, maybe the price will double in a few years. After all, there are fewer and fewer real things on the market these days, and you don't always see great things at auctions. Qin Sheng said lightly.
"I see." Pan Rufeng nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the valuation given by Qin Sheng.
Seeing Pan Rufeng's relatively satisfied expression, Gu Ming couldn't help but be a little curious, and couldn't help but ask brilliantly: "I take the liberty of asking, can you reveal how much money this gold-inlaid jade butterfly used to mortgage to your friend?" ”
"There's nothing bad to reveal, the owner of this gold-inlaid jade butterfly can't change the money after the repayment deadline, this butterfly already belongs to my friend, otherwise he wouldn't let me take it out and find someone to see." I don't know if it's his luck, this gold-inlaid jade butterfly was mortgaged to him for 300,000 yuan. ”
