Chapter 787

Vincent asked with a smile, "Mr. Chu, do you like classical furniture, too?"

Chu Chen replied, "yes! I really like our classical furniture

Vincent said with a smile: "your country's traditional furniture contains and embodies your country's traditional way of life and aesthetic taste. It has profound cultural and artistic connotation. Its unique shape and exquisite structure all embody the wisdom and exquisite skills of your country's carpenters. Therefore, I like your country's classical furniture very much."

"It seems that Mr. Vincent, you also have a lot of research on Chinese classical furniture."

Chuchen nodded with a smile. Although Vincent's words may have some compliments, chuchen had to say that his words were really reasonable.

Chinese classical furniture is often used in traditional style decoration, represented by the interior design style of palace buildings, which reflects a grand, magnificent, delicate and generous style.

The architectural pattern stresses high space and great depth. Indoor porch and other places like to use wooden columns. The columns are simple, round and colorful. Carved beams and painted buildings, plaques and couplets, screen partition, woven bamboo curtain, virtual spirit and elegance. Decorative materials are mainly made of wood, and they pay attention to carving and painting.

The furnishings of the furniture emphasize symmetry, attach great importance to context, and are good at embellishment with calligraphy and painting, scrolls, antiques, stone, landscape and bonsai, rendering a room full of calligraphy and elegance. Every day in such a scholarly environment, you can enjoy the elegance of Chilan and the quietness of bamboo and chrysanthemum, and you can enjoy the beauty of art. This is the unique charm of China's traditional home culture.

Moreover, China's classical furniture is not only a work of art, its more valuable place is that it is an important part of Chinese culture. It has a long history, distinctive national characteristics and outstanding style, just like China's literature, calligraphy and painting.

Now, with the improvement of living standards and the revival of traditional Chinese culture, more and more young people like classical furniture in China.

This is also because the classical furniture is suitable for a variety of decorative styles, such as minimalism, modern style, neoclassicism, national style, etc., which embodies simplicity and closeness to nature in the antique. In addition, we can also get inner peace from classical furniture, and get philosophical understanding of life from the circulation of space and the arrangement of some image symbols.

Of course, there is no lack of economic benefits. With the rise of the antique market, classical furniture is becoming more and more popular among collectors. The function of preserving value is outstanding, so classical furniture has become the sight of some young people who like financial management.

The price of the rare pear in the Ming Dynasty will be doubled, because the price of the rare pear in the Ming Dynasty will be more prominent.

Of course, in addition to the price factor, the most important reason why Chu Chen took a fancy to it and wanted to include it in the scope of this transaction was that it was exquisite.

Vincent said with a smile: "there is a lot of research. I can't say it. I know something about it. By the way, Mr. Chu, since you like classical furniture, I have a few exquisite pieces besides this chair. Are you interested in them? " Then he pointed to the row of classical furniture in front of him.

Of course, Chu Chen is interested in high-end classical furniture, but now it's a turnip pit. Even if he wants to choose, he has to be the same treasure as the top chair in front of him. But it's not urgent. He said with a smile, "of course I'm interested, but let's go and fill our stomach first."

While he was talking, he used his powers to sift through all the furniture in front of him, and found that there were several pieces worth more than one million, which made him secretly nod his head. He thought that he would come over later and choose them well. The porcelain was good, but when he met the same level of treasures, he would not let them go.

However, when he saw that something like a wooden board five or six meters away had passed the selection of powers, he was very surprised that such a thing had a value of more than one million, which was ridiculous.

So, some Chu Chen, who didn't know why, quickly used Lingbao eye on that thing, which almost surprised him.

"Mr. Chu, what you said is, let's have dinner first..."

At this time, Chu Chen's mind was full of the thing he had just "seen". Vincent's words were like a deaf ear to him. It was not until Wu Ke took his hand that he recovered.

Following Vincent out of the door, while Vincent closed the door of the treasure room, Wu Ke whispered in Chu Chen's ear: "ah Chen, what were you thinking just now, so absorbed?"

Chu Chen also knew that he had made some blunders just now, but he was really not easy to explain this kind of thing now. He could only express his worries in his heart: "Hey, I'm not worried about which one to choose?"

Wu Ke didn't doubt that Chu Chen was lying. She said gently, "in fact, it's nothing to worry about. You can choose whatever you want. Anyway, there's one thing that you can't let yourself suffer."

"Well! Just do as you say. " Chu Chen smiles at Wu Ke.After a very rich lunch, Vincent takes Chu Chen and Wu Ke into the treasure room. Chu Chen doesn't talk nonsense, and then appreciates the classical furniture.

There are all kinds of classical furniture, ranging from Huanghua pear bed to red sandalwood tea table, and many of them are palace articles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, the Qing Dynasty furniture accounts for the vast majority, and its source is not difficult to guess.

The value of these classical furniture varies from high to low, but all of them are boutiques. If it is normal, Chu Chen would like to take all the furniture in front of him home, but now he can only choose the boutiques among the boutiques, which makes him feel very sorry.

However, there was no way to deal with this kind of thing. Chu Chen had to bear the pain to give up his love. In addition to the previous chair, he only chose a red sandalwood cloud dragon throne in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The throne above the throne is the symbol of imperial power. It is the highest level of furniture in China.

If you have been to the Forbidden City, you will find that there are a group of unique furnishings in the main hall where the emperor lives and lives. It takes the throne as the center, with a screen at the back. On the left and right sides, there are Taiping elephant, palace fan, luduan, incense tube and so on. It is called "throne room", that is, the emperor's "throne".

In addition to the Royal Palace, there are similar furnishings in the royal gardens, palaces and mausoleums. Although there are many royal throne furnishings and the layout is the same, the shape and decoration of the throne and screen are various, which constitute a unique scene of the royal palace furniture furnishings.

This kind of display is not a simple furniture combination as people imagine, but reflects the strict hierarchy of Chinese feudal society. In the layout of interior furnishings, the throne must be placed in the middle, which is the symbol of the supremacy of imperial power. At ordinary times, no one except the emperor or empress dowager is allowed to trespass.

No, since the war, most of the thrones outside the Imperial Palace have been lost due to the invasion of foreign powers, and they have flowed into the hands of private and public collectors. This red sandalwood throne with cloud dragon pattern in the middle of Qing Dynasty is a typical example.

This throne is made of red sandalwood. Under the surface there are girdle waist, arched shoulder, bulging legs, pengya, varus horseshoe, with mud support. The seven screen type seat enclosure, the back plate, the core of the armrest, the four legs under the surface, and the teeth are all carved in relief with fine workmanship. The back of the throne is painted with lacquer heart and painted with gold and dragon patterns.

Generally speaking, most of the lost folk thrones are not complete sets but are out of group with pedals. However, this throne is also equipped with rectangular pedals. The pedals are of xumizuo style. The tread is smooth and plain. Besides the lotus petal pattern on the side of the waist, it is full of Double Dragons playing with pearls.

Both the throne and the footrest are painted with black lacquer, which is typical of the Soviet style furniture in the middle of Qing Dynasty. After years of vicissitudes, the paste is thick and moist. Now the snake belly is broken, winding and cracking. It is full of interest, which further shows that the throne and the footrest are original.

In addition, in addition to the original foot pedal, the front and side of the legs are also full of legs. Most of the red sandalwood seats in the Palace Museum are bare legs, which shows the luxury and dignity of this handicraft.

This throne Sabre is precise, round and thick, with no blade exposed. The dragon pattern is lifelike, and the cloud pattern is smooth and vivid. It can also be preserved together with the throne until now. It is rare. It can be called a model of exquisite and gorgeous Qing Dynasty furniture. It is an important treasure to gather the emperor's mind and craftsmanship.

Such a throne, whether it is the level of craftsmanship or the value of collection, is very high. Of course, Chu Chen wants to take it down. So, after choosing two pieces of classical furniture, he pretends to walk to a piece of wood that looks rather ordinary but is actually extraordinary.

"Eh, this is..." Chu Chen pretended to be surprised and took up the board.

Wu Ke stepped forward and saw that the board was wide at one end and narrow at the other. There were obvious ups and downs on it. He said in Chinese, "isn't this the body of the Guqin?"

Vincent saw the board and didn't remember what it was at first, but he still knew a little bit about the text. When he heard the word Qin, he said with a smile:

"Mr. Chu, this is really a Qin body. I bought it together when I bought the top chair. Originally, I wanted to repair it, but I forgot it after a long time Two clean. Why, have you ever learned this musical instrument? "

Chuchen said with a smile, "of course I haven't learned this kind of musical instrument, but my fiancee has."

Chu Chen didn't talk nonsense about this. He said before that because Uncle Wu was a girl, he attached great importance to Wu Ke's education. When Wu Ke was a child, he found several extracurricular teachers for her, and Guqin teacher was one of them.
