Chapter 407 The Seal of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 407 The Seal of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty
"Haha, it's certain that belonged to the Qing Dynasty." Old Liu said with a smile, "However, there may be some doubts about the specific time. You can take a closer look. This five-clawed golden dragon almost occupied half of the entire seal, and the majesty, nobleness and ferocity it showed made people look very pleasing to the eye. The seal below is four ancient seals, "Fu Shoutian Seal", which belongs to the insidious carving and the sword technique is very old, so I think that the person who carved the seal and the person who carved the dragon button should not be the same person."
In this way, it can be considered as an explanation for why Mr. Liu believes that this thing is not sure about its age.
After all, according to Mr. Liu's judgment, this seal obviously carved the seal below after the seal was carved by another carving master. In terms of age, even based on the five-clawed golden dragon carving style on the seal, it is impossible to accurately determine which era the seal below belongs to. It is either from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, or it is added by later generations.
"What Mr. Liu meant is that this thing cannot be determined by the age of the time?" The middle-aged man just now continued to ask.
If it is a thing, especially a seal, its material expensiveness is certainly a kind of value. But if you can find out the story behind this work, or even the name of the master of carving, wouldn’t it be more valuable?
At this time, few people would think of this thing, which actually has nothing to do with them. Whether it is priceless or worthless, it is a matter of Jia Sidao. However, with the preparation of the mud inkstone in front, a seal suddenly smashed out of the mud, made of Tian Huangshi, is a "legendary" thing in itself.
No one will think that it is meaningless to add some gimmick to this "legend". After all, the people present have witnessed this "legend" with their own eyes, right?
Thinking of this, Jia Sidao was about to take this opportunity to talk about this mud inkstone.
However, Jia Sidao knew very well that even if he had a selling point, even if he asked Ah San to come out to explain, he would have a bit of a sense of Huang Po selling melons and boasting. Instead, it would be more appropriate to let others guess themselves.
Just now, Jia Sidao took a step forward and suddenly realized that after the middle-aged man asked, the scene was silent, as if everyone was waiting for Mr. Liu's reply. Jia Sidao immediately paused slightly. Speaking of which, although Jia Sidao also knew some tricks about Tian Huangshi, he was not as good as a big expert like Mr. Liu.
For a moment, even Jia Sidao looked at Mr. Liu with curiosity and expectation.
Perhaps he noticed the eyes of everyone. Mr. Liu thought about it and did not seem to want to reveal the answer so soon. Or, just to increase the persuasiveness of his explanation, he said with some attention: "Tianhuang is known as the Stone Emperor, and now the Tianhuang in my hand is the best among Tianhuang in terms of performance. Please see, its skin color belongs to the color of gold. Under the light, it is shining with golden brilliance, showing extremely noble and gracefulness."
As he said that, Mr. Liu deliberately raised the seal he was holding slightly.
The lighting lantern at the birthday party was very cooperative and then called a beam of light alone on the Tianhuangshi seal. Looking from where Jia Sidao was standing now, listening to Mr. Liu’s words while feeling the color on Tianhuangshi, it was really a dreamy thing.
Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel the truth. What Mr. Liu said was simply a feeling of truth.
"Looking at the carrot patterns on this piece of Tianhuang stone, it is extremely delicate." Mr. Liu continued, "In addition, the texture of the whole piece of stone is also warm like the baby's skin, and can be broken. The overall shape is as bright as oil crystals. As long as you turn a little, you can feel the light of treasure. This is completely condensed, clean, pure, delicate, and greasy!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Liu still laughed.
It seems that as long as you understand Tian Huangshi, after Mr. Liu's explanation, you can be shocked by the performance of this Tian Huangshi! As for many people present who didn't play Tian Huangshi very much, after listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, they would be confused and become a little interested in Tian Huang.
"It seems that the effect created by asking Mr. Liu to say a few more words is really surprising." Jia Sidao muttered to himself. If Jia Sidao hadn't been very clear in his heart, he wouldn't know Mr. Liu at all in advance, and even Jia Sidao himself would have begun to doubt whether Mr. Liu had deliberately arranged a "support".
Fortunately, Mr. Liu seems to be in Lin'an's antiques, especially jewelry and jade, and has a very strong status.
When he was speaking, even Mr. Yang did not stand up and interrupt, let alone some other insiders. Moreover, the words spoken from Mr. Liu also convinced the rest of the insiders. Jia Sidao saw this change in expression very carefully.
"The above is the old man, I have a brief look at this Dragon Knob Tian Huang Fu Shoutian seal." Old Liu paused and said in a summary, "As for what era this seal is from, I am not easy to say. However, I can remind you here that at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, there was a Tian Huang Shi Dragon Knock Qianlong imperial seal sold for HK$8.38 million. The seal was only about 200 grams. I have studied the strokes of the five words "The Mastiff's Rule in the Cun Xin" on it for a long time. In my opinion, the four seals appear at the bottom of the seal in my hand are very similar to the auctioned Dragon Knock Qianlong imperial seal."
"Ah!--" I wonder if it was what Mr. Liu said, but I was too surprised. Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in a long scream at this moment! It seemed particularly abrupt.
However, at this time, no one would care about that person's disobedience. Immediately, the middle-aged man who had asked Mr. Liu just now continued to ask: "Old Liu, as you said, this thing is the seal of Emperor Qianlong?"
The men next to them also nodded slightly, as if their thoughts were like the middle-aged man who asked. Not only that, the people at other tables also looked at Mr. Liu curiously.
"This is hard to say." Mr. Liu said in a simple manner, "I just feel that the seals of the two are somewhat similar. Therefore, your problem is just a possibility, but it cannot be determined now."
Speaking of which, Mr. Liu was quite steady in his attitude towards the appraisal. However, in Jia Sidao's opinion, even so, it was enough. Such a result was completely beyond Jia Sidao's imagination. As soon as he heard this, Jia Sidao wanted to rush up and hug Mr. Liu and kiss him hard a few times.
Regardless of whether this thing is the imperial seal of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, as long as there is such a gimmick, it will add value to the seal itself.
Didn’t you see that after Mr. Liu’s words, even Mr. Yang’s eyes changed when he looked at the seal?
Jia Sidao also noticed that Ah San actually looked at him now, and the meaning in his eyes was a little unsure of what to say. Yang Fan's expression was even more excited. In addition, even Yang Siyi, who was sitting next to Mr. Yang, looked at Jia Sidao's eyes, was quite strange, as if he was angry about how Jia Sidao had made such a thing?
Jia Sidao could only face it with a smile. Anyway, judging from Yang Siyi's expression, he was not really angry, but more of a happy expression.
"Old Liu, you say something, is this right?" Someone couldn't help but ask loudly in his heart. Yes, the price difference between "yes" and "no" is too big. Sometimes, a person's thoughts can also represent the public's ideas very well.
Mr. Liu didn't buy it and said directly: "Is this thing what I said is right? There are many experts in Tianhuangshi here. Let everyone look at things and judge for themselves."
Suddenly, the young people who were still a little excited and wanted to learn some news from Mr. Liu's mouth seemed to be listless, and no one dared to continue clamoring at this time. Jia Sidao touched his nose, and suddenly smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. Looking at Mr. Liu's eyes, he was a little curious. What kind of existence does Mr. Liu really have?
He was said to be cunning, but he deliberately proposed the gimmick of "Qianlong Seal". If it weren't for this, let alone some other young people, even Jia Sidao himself would not think about the smashed Tianhuang Seal in this regard.
Perhaps, after Jia Sidao returned to Linhai with the Tianhuangstone seal, he would find an expert to make a special identification. However, at this birthday party, Jia Sidao would undoubtedly not be so glorious.
But if Mr. Liu is a little honest, at this moment, his answer is unscathed. Moreover, no matter what aspect he said, there is no flaw in his words. If the thing is ultimately right, it can only be said that he has superb eyesight and has made his own judgment at the beginning. But if the thing is wrong, it will be easy for him to get out. After all, he just said "very similar."
You can't say that Mr. Liu is deliberately misleading you, right?
If this is the case, you can only blame yourself for not having enough eyesight.
Just as he was thinking, Jia Sidao suddenly heard someone ask, "If it was really the Emperor's Seal of Emperor Qianlong, then how much is this imperial seal worth?"
Such a question immediately caused a burst of chuckle from everyone. The person who asked seemed not very young. Jia Sidao guessed that it was probably the competitors who participated in the "Treasure Fighting" activity who specifically signaled him to ask. After all, no matter whether Jia Sidao's seal was real or not, for those young heroes who participated in this activity, the most important thing now is to look at the value of this thing.
This is a matter of concern for the face of these young heroes.
"Haha," Mr. Liu was obviously thinking of the reasons in this regard, and couldn't help but smile kindly and said, "You can tell at a glance that these little friends are quite unfamiliar with collection." Not to mention other words, an antique with a historical story is still very different from the lack of historical heritage. Moreover, the treasures excavated from a piece of clay inkstone have a psychological advantage in terms of collection mentality, right?
"Let me tell you this." Boss Liu explained the many factors related to the value of collecting. However, after thinking about it, Old Liu felt that he was not good to educate a young collector at Mr. Yang's birthday party. He could only explain it simply, "I can only tell you that just by looking at this dragon button yellow seal, which weighs as rare as three or four hundred grams, if the price is less than tens of millions, you will find a vacant."
"Yes, yes." Old Master Yang nodded lonely and said in agreement, "This is not worthy of this seal."
After saying a word, it caused a faint chuckle on the scene.
At this moment, Jia Sidao's Tianhuangshi seal had a buffer to everyone's shock. Whether it was a feeling of hope or enviousness in his heart, everyone focused their attention on tonight's purpose, Mr. Yang's birthday party.
The host and host on the rostrum also took over the right to speak: "Okay, the 'gift offering' link of young heroes has come to an end. Mr. Jia, please go back to your seat and sit down." As he said that, the host and host also made an invitation to Jia Sidao.
Jia Sidao nodded and walked to his original position. During this time, he saw that the etiquette lady was also from Mr. Liu, and he brought the Tian Huangshi seal back to the display stand.
"Please see, the seventeen treasures have been placed on the display stand in a row." The host said loudly, "Every one of them is almost a rare treasure. However, this is not the goal we want to achieve in the end. The wonderful "Treasure Fighting" session is about to begin. Now please send a question board for the etiquette lady. Those who are interested can write one or more of the treasures No. 1 to 17 they like. To be joking, as long as it is what you like, even if it is all."
Speaking of this, the host even joked, which made the atmosphere on the scene much more active.
"Of course, while writing the number, don't forget to attach the price you are willing to pay." The emcee said solemnly, "Please note that the price is based on one million, and it is progressed with an integer of more than 10,000 yuan. That is, each increase is in units of tens of thousands, and the final price of the higher one will be treasured. At the same time, among all the treasures sold, the owner of the highest price of treasure, that is, the winner of this "Treasure Fighting" session, and the winner of the gold medal will win the grand prize of this "Treasure Fighting" event. Do you understand? You all understand, okay, the "Treasure Fighting" session has officially begun, please raise your sign."
Almost all those who can come to attend Mr. Yang's birthday party are famous. They are either celebrities in the jewelry and jade industry, or some confidential personnel, even if they don't have much money, they still have a lot of power. In addition, since everyone can come to participate in Mr. Yang's birthday party, it can be considered as giving Mr. Yang face.
In this way, no matter whether you are in the industry or not, you will know whether you can see jewelry and jade clearly. It is relatively easy to have more than one dozen treasures on the display stand worth millions.
Therefore, after the host's emcee finished speaking, there were dozens of signs that were raised in one go. The scene was very lively. The host's emcee also smiled and reported the amount piece by piece. As soon as he was reported, he heard that someone else's bid was higher than him, and he immediately wiped out the re-report. With such repeated bids and repeated signs, the host's emcee felt a little overwhelmed, and was in a state of fighting for the tiger and dragon.
At the same time, Jia Sidao also noticed that there are many mysteries in the reporting cards of many people.
"Xiao Jia, do you see?" A San pointed to the people on the table next to him. Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be optimistic about the things on the display stand. Moreover, in the previous "treasure offering" session, there was no owner of the treasure from their seat. However, when the "treasure fighting" was at this moment, the atmosphere at this table was much more lively.
"It's quite lively, right?" Jia Sidao responded to A San with a smile.
"That's it." Asan nodded, and then muttered softly, "It's a pity that it's lively, but there's no final competition for any treasure."
