Chapter 959 stunned
Although the Hai Siheyuan that Yang Jing bought in the 1980s cannot be compared with those royal palaces, it is definitely considered a large Siheyuan. Therefore, there are as many as nine main houses in this house, that is, the north house.
In the north house of the Sihe Courtyard in Lao Yanjing, in addition to the main hall in the middle or also called the ancestral hall, the most noble one is the east house of the ancestral hall. In China, the left has been regarded as the highest priority since ancient times, so the east house on the left side of the main hall is larger than the west house in size. Moreover, the east house is usually lived by people with the highest seniority or the most noble status in the family.
However, there is no one living in this east house. That's because of Peter and Wu Da. Although they also live in this house, this house belongs to the boss after all. If the boss doesn't come to live in, who dares to live in the east house?
So, this room was used by Peter Wu to store old furniture.
Like this Arhat bed with small leaves and the step bed made by Lao Haihuang in the Ming Dynasty, Pit Wu was placed in this room. If it weren't for the room that could not be placed, he would even want to place the Arhat bed embedded in this room.
But that's it. In addition to these two beds, the two sets of Ming and Qing tables and chairs that Lao Na had purchased with excellent quality were also placed in this room by Peter Wu.
Mr. Xiao and Mr. Guo were naturally fascinated by it. With their skills, they could naturally tell the authenticity of these old furniture at a glance. These old furniture are definitely old objects with large doors. Nowadays, it is really rare to see such good-looking Ming and Qing furniture.
Especially the Arhat bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood material is even rare in the world.
After looking at it for a while, Mr. Guo raised his head reluctantly and turned his head and asked, "Brother Wu, was this arhat bed also bought by that gentleman?" Mr. Guo and Peter Wu were about the same age and were respectful, so Mr. Guo called Peter Wu.
Peter Wu quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Guo, don't call me brother. Just call me Lao Wu, I'll listen to it."
Just kidding, the four old men in front of us are the masters of the new boss, Peter Wu, who dare not be proud of them in front of them.
After a pause, Pete Wu continued: "This bed was indeed bought by Lao Na. At that time, Lao Na saw this Arhat bed and the Lao Haihuang stepping bed from a scrap purchase station, so he spent 300 yuan to buy the two beds."
Hearing this price, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads. They couldn't afford the Arhat bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood material, but they could estimate the price of the Huanghuali stepping bed in the Ming Dynasty.
According to the current market conditions, if this Huanghuali tread bed is on sale, the starting price will not be less than 50 million. As for how much it can be sold, they are not sure. If they catch up with a big boss who likes Ming Dynasty furniture, it would probably not be difficult to shoot this tread bed for 100 million or 200 million.
The main reason is that the two beds have a very good look. Now there are almost no Ming Dynasty furniture with such good looks.
The two of them stayed in the room for a while, then reluctantly followed Peter Wu and continued to walk eastward, passed through a door and arrived at the second east room.
As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo immediately said in surprise: "Hey, why did Lao Ma's treasure-embedded Arhat bed run away from you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them shook their heads almost at the same time and said, "No, this is not Lao Ma's treasure-embedded Arhat bed. Lao Ma's bed's appearance is not as good as this one!"
The two of them almost spoke in unison. After saying these two sentences, the two elders looked at each other and laughed.
The two old men came up and carefully looked at the large-scale treasure-embedded Arhat bed. After a long time, Mr. Liu said: "Old Guo, do you think if Lao Ma saw this bed, would he go back and tear down the treasure-embedded Arhat bed collected in his museum?"
Mr. Guo also smiled and said, "This is not accurate. Old Ma regards his arhat bed as a treasure all day long, but his arhat bed looks so good that it's so different!"
Yang Jing knew who the old horse was mentioned by the second old man. It was Mr. Ma Weidu, a famous folk collector in China. The first private museum in China was opened by this old man. In the old man's museum, the treasure of the museum was to recommend the treasure-embedded Arhat bed.
But to be honest, the quality of the treasure-embedded Arhat bed in Old Master Ma’s hand is far less than the quality of the bed he bought. The specifications of the two beds are almost exactly the same, but the quality of the bed in his hand is far greater than that of the bed in Old Master Ma’s hand.
Speaking of which, this bed was found by Yang Jing based on Mr. Ma’s experience back then.
The passage of Mr. Ma's treasure-embedded Arhat bed was almost a classic in the circle, and Yang Jing naturally knew it. So when he returned to Yanjing in the 1980s, he took the old one to Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory.
When he went to Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory, Yang Jing did see the treasure-embedded Arhat bed that Mr. Ma later bought, but the bed was about to fall apart at that time, and Yang Jing didn't like it.
Later, the Holy Ring consumed 2% of its energy to lead Yang Jing to a similar Arhat bed, and then Yang Jing "discovered" the current bed in the warehouse of the hardwood furniture factory. At the same time, they also found a pair of small-leaf red sandalwood chairs, four old sea yellow ring chairs, and an old sea yellow table, as well as a complete set of screens for the twelve screens of the imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel, a royal blue treasure inlaid with Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
In the end, these treasures that are now worth hundreds of millions of yuan made Yang Jing pack all the foreign exchange coupons back at that time...
Although the usage specifications of the Treasure Arhat Bed are far greater than the small-leafed red sandalwood Arhat Bed I saw just now, with the Arhat Bed made of Small-leafed red sandalwood, this Treasure Arhat Bed with excellent quality is a bit uninteresting to the two masters.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Treasure-Inlaid Arhat Bed was not even used by the royal family, so this kind of bed was actually only used by the emperor or queen or the imperial concubine. One of the important reasons why Yan Song was beheaded was that Yan Song actually used this Treasure-Inlaid Arhat Bed at his home, which led to a small braid.
You said that Yan Song was the master of the same person as the one below one person. If you really want to be the emperor, then you might as well rebel. Why do you sleep in such a bed secretly from home? As a result, someone grabbed the braid and was eventually cut off by the emperor.
In fact, to mention that the Arhat bed of the small-leaf red sandalwood I just saw was probably used by a certain emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was an Arhat bed made of large materials from the small-leaf red sandalwood. Generally, ordinary princes and ministers may not have the financial resources to build such an Arhat bed.
In addition to this treasure-embedded Arhat bed in this room, all the furniture Yang Jing and Lao Na bought in the warehouse of Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory were placed in this room.
Because of the previous small-leaf red sandalwood bed, in this room, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo focused more on the four sets of Ming Dynasty yellow chain chairs and the Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel and the twelve treasures embedded in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
This style of ring chair is obviously different from other shapes of the Ming Dynasty Laohai Yellow ring chairs. Currently, there are only eight in total in the world, and four of them are abroad, and the four in China are not complete sets.
In other words, this set of four-hand Ming Dynasty Laohai Yellow Ring Chair is currently the only complete set of Ming Dynasty Laohai Yellow Ring Chair with this shaped ring chair in the world.
This is the only one in the world, and then it will be of great value...
As for the Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel and twelve screens embedded in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, it is so good-quality and large-scale, and it is extremely rare to look around the world. Maybe there is only one screen in this shape in the whole world.
Anyone who plays antique art knows that nothing should be linked to "the world's only". Once it is linked to those four words, its value will be multiplied. And the four sets of Ming Dynasty Laohai Yellow Chairs in this room and this Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel and twelve screens embedded in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea will probably be linked to "the world's only"...
The four masters stayed in the nine-bedroom north room for more than two hours, and then went around other rooms. Then Yang Jing asked Pitt Wu to open the access control leading to the basement and took the four masters into the basement.
If the four masters were distracted by admiring the treasures in the room just now, then when the four masters saw the treasures in the basement, they almost had a heart attack.
This basement with a total of more than 2,000 square meters has long been transformed into one room, each room with a look of forty or fifty square meters. Under the control of good central air conditioning, the temperature and humidity of the basement are maintained very well, and the environment is no worse than those museums.
The most important thing is that there are too many treasures stored in the basement.
Hardwood furniture, porcelain, bronze ware, calligraphy and paintings, rare ancient books, pottery, jade, stone, seal stone, four treasures of the study, Buddha statues, gilded utensils and other miscellaneous items from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen in this huge basement. Moreover, the number of each type is not one or two, each type has several pieces at least, and the number of one is hundreds.
Especially the large number of porcelain made the fourth master Cai Yi's eyes almost glar.
In the seven or eight basements, rows of ancient shelves are placed, and the shelves are all filled with porcelain.
From the porcelain from the Five Song Kilns to the porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty, there are thousands of pieces, all of which are finest, including many of them with national treasures! These porcelains alone are enough to open a small porcelain museum.
