Chapter 955

Chuchen said with a smile, "don't worry. I'll buy this bottle for 250000."

Hearing this, the old lady's suspicions deepened. She frowned and said, "you didn't cheat me?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "how can I cheat you on this matter? If you don't believe me, we can go to the bank to transfer money directly."

When the old lady saw that Chu Chen said so, she received most of the letter, but she was still surprised and asked, "why didn't you say that just now in the shop?"

Chu Chen replied: "there are rules in our antique shop. The boss said that just now. If I said I bought it directly, he would lose face. What's more, he's right. Generally speaking, it's impossible for an antique shop to accept your price. "

In fact, there used to be this rule in the antique industry, that is, peers can't lift each other. As the old saying goes, it's a good thing to watch chess without talking about a real gentleman. Just take care of your own affairs, and take care of other people's affairs will always be hated.

Generally speaking, two antique dealers, you open your shop, he sells his goods, only say good words to each other, never allow to open the same table.

For example, Wang bought a censer from the treasure Pavilion and took it to the Bogu building for boss Li to have a look. Boss Li would be happy to say "good thing! Congratulations on your age! " Because Mr. Wang has already bought it, why block the other party's heart? Or what if something is real, even if it's expensive? Besides, antiques are priceless. The value depends on the buyer's preference. How do you measure them?

In contrast to the present, many antique shop owners, chicken belly, who are not from their own shop to go out of the things all sniff it as a fake, or that the other party was deceived by others. Jealousy, guess, attack, anything can be made up, the villain virtue of impetuous society in front of the ancients set up a prototype! It's no wonder that some people say that it used to be a gentleman playing with the ancients, but now it's a villain playing with the ancients!

The old lady nodded and asked, "is the price I said really expensive?"

Chu Chen said: "yes, in terms of the current market, it's already a relatively high price. If an antique shop owner like Mr. Zhong buys it back, he won't lose money, but he basically has no profit. If he doesn't make profit, it's not worthwhile for him to press so much money. You don't think so."

Then the old lady asked, "in that case, how can you buy it?"

"Because I like it." Chuchen said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if I miss it today, it will be gone. Besides, 250000 yuan is a little expensive, but it's not a big loss. Grandma, do you still sell this bottle? "

As I said earlier, there are only that number of good things in antiques. If you miss them, you may not meet them. In addition, Chu Chen bought them to serve as museum collections, and they will appreciate in the future. Of course, Chu Chen would buy them. Otherwise, without one of the conditions, he would have to think about it carefully. Although the 250000 yuan is not much for him, it can not be wasted.

Seeing that Chu Chen said so, the old lady didn't agree. So they immediately went to the bank to transfer the account and completed the transaction.

When Chu Chen came out of the bank and was about to say goodbye to the old lady, the old lady suddenly stopped him: "Hey, young man, I still have some pieces of furniture from my early years. I wonder if you are interested in it?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "as long as it's good, I'll take it."

"All right, let's go..."

The old lady took chuchen and them to a small courtyard. To chuchen's surprise and Zuoshan's surprise, this is the house where Wei Zhongxian's treasure is hidden. It can only be described as "Qiao".

But doesn't it mean that the owner has been hospitalized? It's strange that the old lady doesn't look like she has just recovered from a serious illness.

The old lady didn't notice the surprise on chuchen and Zuoshan's face. She opened the door with the key and invited them into the room.

But the scene in the courtyard surprised Chu Chen, because the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. At first glance, he knew that no one had lived in it for a long time, which was consistent with the news that the owner was hospitalized.

Curious, Chu Chen asked: "Granny, don't you live here?"

The old lady shook her head: "no, this is my cousin's house. She was seriously ill during this period of time, and she didn't have any savings. So she entrusted me to deal with the things at home as medical expenses."

Chu Chen asked, "is there no one else in her family?"

The old lady shook her head: "no, she's the only one left in her family! Poor man, too

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed, but did not say much. After a moment, she said to Chu Chen, "don't worry about me taking it without telling. I know the truth of my sister's clear account. I also have my cousin's power of attorney in my hand, and the things you buy are protected by law."

Chuchen laughs. He is really worried that the old lady is the one who deals with these things privately, otherwise it will be a real trouble. Since the old lady said so, he was relieved.

The party followed the old lady to a wing room. There were a few pieces of furniture in the room. There were only five pieces of furniture in total. It was more in line with the description of "bedroom" in volume 8 of the chronicles of things written by Mingwen Zhenheng: "generally, there was a couch. There was only a few things in front of the couch. There were two small kitchens and one cupboard. The room was clean and elegant. It was as gorgeous as in a boudoir, It's not suitable for you to sleep in the clouds and dream in the moon. "However, although there are not many furniture here, Chu Chen came forward to see that they are all Ming Dynasty furniture. Besides the cupboards, they are all made of huanghuali, which is not affordable to ordinary people in ancient times.

Chu Chen said hello to the old lady, and then walked over to the bed in the room. This bed is not a couch as described in the chronicle of things, but a shelf bed.

Shelf bed is a kind of bed, which refers to the bed with four columns and four poles. Some are equipped with three side railings at both ends and back, and some are equipped with door covers. The shelf bed has many styles, exquisite structure and gorgeous decoration. Historical stories, folklore, huama mountains and waters are the main themes of decoration, with the implied meanings of harmony, peace, auspiciousness, many blessings and many children. Style or simple and generous, or magnificent.

This shelf bed is made of huanghuali. The style is traditional, in which the "mushroom head" at the bottom of corner column and door column imitates the "column base" in traditional architecture. The eaves are hung around the bed top, and the tapestry ring plate is used for firing holes. The lintel board around the bed is also carved with patterns of auspicious animals such as flowers and plants, cranes, etc., with vivid portraits and orderly layers. A soft drawer is installed on the edge of the bed. Teeth and legs enough to hold the shoulder tenon structure, inverted horseshoe..

It is made of strong materials, exquisite carving, tight tenon and riveting, exquisite modeling, simple and fluent pattern design, and simple and rich style. It can be said that it is the top quality of Huanghua pear shelf bed, reflecting the perfect state of production technology at that time, and has great collection value.

Chu Chen's trip was worth it, and the other four items were of great collection value.

Among them, Xiaoji and xiaofangwu are simple and concise in style, but they seem to have a natural flavor. At first glance, they know that they are made by skillful craftsmen.

The last one is a two door cupboard with black lacquer inlaid mother of pearl. Although it looks only about 50 cm in height and width, it is the most valuable of the five kinds of furniture except the shelf bed.

This inlaid mother of pearl is a kind of mother of pearl. The so-called mother of Pearl refers to the general name of the decorative technology of inlaying the shell and seashell into thin pieces of figures, flowers and birds, geometric figures or characters according to the needs of the screen.

The inlaid mother of Pearl refers to the best part of the shell color, layered peeling and cutting inlaid on wood, lacquer as decoration.

"Xiushilu" describes: "mother of Pearl All kinds of pictures, such as dot, wipe, hook and stripe, are always exquisite and picturesque. It can also be divided into the color of the cut shell, and those who decorate with the color can enjoy the brilliance. "

The meaning of this passage is that according to the needs of the picture pattern, different color spiral pieces are used to cut into various shapes and inlay various pictures to achieve the effect of approximate color setting.

When it comes to Ming Dynasty furniture, people usually think of huanghuali furniture. In fact, in Ming Dynasty, the best furniture is not log furniture, its mainstream should be gorgeous lacquer furniture. This can be proved from the fact that most of the national treasure furniture with model year are painted furniture.

Like this cupboard in front of me, it's all black lacquer inlaid with mother of pearl. Round corner cabinet type, narrow top and wide bottom, with round material column, two opposite doors and a shelving board inside.

The top of the cabinet is inlaid with a picture of a light courtyard. The clouds and fog, pavilions and pavilions, plantain pine and willows, rockery and rocks are all depicted one by one. There are 19 people, in twos and threes, who are either boating on the water, talking freely, or strolling around. The facade outside the cabinet door is decorated in two layers. The upper layer is hollowed out in the shape of Ruyi cloud head. The lower layer is also a picture of Kaiguang courtyard, with seven people playing chess in the pavilion or riding in the garden.

Both sides of the cabinet are hollow out in the shape of Ruyi cloud head, and the bottom is decorated with flowers and birds. The cupboard door is equipped with a small handle and loose leaf, and the work is decorated with brocade pattern and flower pattern, which is fine, complicated and magnificent.

This cupboard is small in shape and integrates the functions of cupboard and cupboard. It is an innovative form of Ming style furniture and is a rare treasure of Ming style furniture.

Moreover, lacquer furniture is not as well preserved as log furniture, and it is not easy to spread to the present. This also shows that lacquer furniture, especially in Ming Dynasty, is precious.

Therefore, this well preserved black lacquer inlaid mother of Pearl double door cupboard is of high value. Chu Chen estimated that the market price should be around 4.5 million.

In addition, the shelf bed looks like about 700000, the small table and two square benches, which add up to about 250000, and the value of five things adds up to about 1.5 million.

After looking at the furniture one by one, Chu Chen said to the old lady with a smile, "I want all the five pieces of furniture. You always say a price."

The old lady made trouble when she heard Chu Chen say that. She frowned and thought for a while, and said, "to tell you the truth, young man, I didn't expect to sell the furniture before, so I didn't ask my cousin how much it was."

Chu Chen was also embarrassed and asked, "what do you say about this?"
