Tonight's auction is full of selected treasures. There are many kinds, not only carvings, but also all kinds of precious jewelry, porcelain, calligraphy and painting and Kesi embroidery treasures.
At the beginning of the exhibition, except for the first golden nanmu Buddha carving, all the others were calligraphy, painting and jewelry, so Qin Lang never made a move. Kang Heping next to him just looked at it and didn't seem to want to buy anything.
Half an hour later, another work was taken to the stage. It was a bronze that looked quite old.
As soon as the red cloth was lifted, Kang Heping next to Qin Lang suddenly sat up straight, took out his mobile phone, faced the stage, and dialed a video call.
Soon, a middle-aged man's face appeared in the mobile phone screen.
Qin Lang heard Kang Heping say to the man, "old fan, here comes what you want."
Fan Wenhua at the other end of the video approached the camera and seemed to want to see what was on the stage.
Kang Heping smiled and said, "don't worry. I'll show you closer later."
No problem. The auction items will be displayed in advance. If you are interested in this auction item, you can raise your cards to participate in the auction. In this way, in the display link, the etiquette lady will stay with the auction item for a longer time.
Qin Lang and them were sitting in the second row, so they were quickly displayed in front of them. Kang Heping raised the card, and the etiquette lady stopped and put the auction on the small table in front of them for them to watch carefully.
Qin Lang could see clearly because he was sitting next to Kang Heping.
Kang Heping showed the people in the video and made a circle with his gloved hand holding the animal face pattern.
"How's it going? Lao Fan, can you see clearly?"
Fan Wenhua said: "I can see clearly, but it's still inconvenient to be away from the scene. Look at the weight."
Kang Heping looked at the data introduction table next to him and gave him a value.
Fan Wenhua nodded. "There's no problem with the weight. It's heavier than the newly built animal face pattern."
"You tap twice with your finger, put your cell phone over, and I'll listen to the sound."
Kang Heping did a series of things according to his command. Finally, fan Wenhua said happily, "OK, no problem, Lao Kang, you must take pictures of this for me!"
"OK, I'll let them continue to show it. I'll ask you to listen later."
Qin Lang listened to what had just happened. It seemed that Kang Heping's friends wanted to buy this animal face wine. Qin Lang hesitated and didn't speak for the time being.
The auction of animal face patterns began, and Kang Heping was the first to bid under the command of fan Wenhua.
The introduction of the animal's face pattern is written on the cultural relics unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty, so the starting price is directly 5 million, and each bid is 500000.
After Kang Heping offered a price of 5.5 million, someone soon called 6 million, and fan Wenhua called again.
This is an antique, which is of great value to ordinary collectors, so some people have increased the price one after another.
Soon, the price reached 10 million. At this time, fan Wenhua frowned and asked Kang Heping to continue bidding.
Qin Lang stretched out his hand and stopped it slightly.
Another man offered 10.5 million.
Kang Heping glanced at Qin Lang suspiciously. Fan Wenhua at the other end of the video didn't know what had happened and asked.
Qin Lang said to Kang Heping, "old Kang, your friend is bound to get no value for this?"
Kang Heping immediately said, "he wants this, but he must consider the value. He's still asking for the price, which means it's worth it."
He said with a smile on his face, and then continued: "Mr. Qin probably hasn't touched bronze before. Bronze in the Shang Dynasty has always been very expensive."
Qin Lang was not unhappy at what he said. After all, Kang Heping didn't know him.
"Kang Lao, if your friend thinks about value, he can stop at this time."
"In the late Shang Dynasty, the price of more than 30 million yuan is normal, but the imitation of the Song Dynasty is more than 10 million, which is not worth it."
Kang Heping was stunned. Fan Wenhua at the other end of the phone said, "Heping, is there someone around you?"
Kang Heping solemnly asked Qin Lang, "Qin Lang, are you sure this is a imitation?"
"Do you know who the old Mr. Fan in my video is? He is the vice president of the national collection. He has seen so many genuine products, and there is too little time to see them. He has just confirmed that now you say it is an imitation of the Song Dynasty. Can you be responsible for that?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Kang, I am naturally responsible for my words. Today you invited me to the auction. I just don't want you to regret after you get the goods."
Listen to him, Kang Heping gave him his cell phone directly.
"Come on, talk to old fan. Bronze is not my specialty. Come and talk to him."
Qin Lang nodded and picked up his cell phone.
Old fan was stunned when he saw Qin lang. he thought he was an expert invited by Kang Heping, but he didn't expect to be such a young man.
"Young man, why do you say that the animal face is an imitation?"
Qin Lang said, "when Kang showed you just now, I sat next to him."
With that, he raised the service sign and asked the etiquette lady to bring the auction again.
During the auction, you can apply for re display for uncertain reasons.
Qin Lang pointed the camera at the animal face pattern, said while wearing gloves: "this animal face pattern is an antique work of the Song Dynasty. Because it is also an unearthed cultural relic, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity in weight, and because many of the Song Dynasty are antique works, there is no problem in appearance."
"But the sound can still tell the problem."
Qin Lang said, tapping the bronze ware gently. Fan Wenhua listened carefully and said, "the sound is muddy. It's no problem."
"Listen again." Qin Lang knocked on the upper position.
After asking, fan Wenhua frowned slightly and said, "there is indeed a slight difference in the percussion sound at the mouth of the cup, but this does not mean that it is not from the Shang Dynasty."
"The late Shang Dynasty is far from the present age, and has gone through many dynasties. If this animal face grain wine is a product of the Shang Dynasty, it has been buried underground for many years, and the degree of mineralization should be deeper. However, the tone above the animal face grain wine is brighter than that below, indicating that the soil it is buried in is dry and purer. According to the burial method in the history of the Dragon state, the late Song Dynasty seems to be more consistent."
"But this can only be used as a basis for inference. The most important thing is here."
Qin Lang pointed to the position of fan line and showed fan Wenhua carefully with a magnifying glass.
"For the bronze wares of the Shang Dynasty, the pattern lines are mostly ignored, so it is difficult to achieve Pingnan symmetry, and there are always some subtle differences. However, for the antique works of the Song Dynasty, craftsmen pay more attention to perfection and beauty, and will use wax chips in the casting process, so that the closure of the bronze can be smooth and almost no trace can be seen."
"It's hard to see the pattern line when the animal's face is drunk, but if you look carefully, you can still find the trace of the pattern line at the overlapping position of this splicing. Although the corrosion is not clear, you can still see that the upper and lower pattern lines are flat and symmetrical."
After Qin Lang said these words, fan Wenhua at the end of the video was completely stunned.
