Quiet, deadly quiet...
This time the auction was not as hot as it was just now, and no one raised a placard after more than ten seconds.
"Everyone, the starting price is 10 million, and every time you raise a placard, you can start bidding for 1 million." Lin Tian gritted his teeth and said again.
Bidding?
Bid a hammer! In case a modern imitation is taken back, not only will you lose money, but the most important thing is to lose face. They are not stupid people with a lot of money.
Everyone looked at each other and was not moved.
Lin Tian: "..."
Looking at the unmoved people, Lin Tian almost died of anger.
He knew that after the episode just now, he had lost everyone's trust.
"If you don't believe it, you can identify it at will!" Lin Tian said through gritted teeth.
Identification?
Of course it has to be identified!
Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Luo and Li Tai.
The former is the boss who discovered Tang Yin's outstanding writing, and the latter is the top appraiser of the Palace Museum.
"Old Li?"
"Professor Qin, please..."
Qin Luo nodded, put on a magnifying glass, and walked straight to the bronze cauldron.
This is a tripod tripod with round mouth.
It is about 1.5 meters high, more than 2 meters in diameter, and about 15 cm thick.
Ding is full of inscriptions.
Taking off his gloves, Qin Luo gently touched the Dingbi.
Different from appraisal calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting paper is relatively fragile and easily eroded by sweat. Appraisers usually choose to wear gloves during appraisal.
But the bronze appraisal is completely different. Its material is very strong and hardly suffers much erosion.
And for the identification of bronzes, the feel is also a very important basis for judgment.
As soon as he started, a heavy feeling passed into Qin Luo's body through his fingers.
This is a trace that can only be left after years.
Qin Luo was determined to take out the iron needle from the tool box and pierce the patina. Generally speaking, if it is a genuine bronze, his patina is difficult to penetrate, while the rust forged with resin or glue will be very easy. penetrate.
Qin Luo probed vigorously, but the needle never penetrated the patina.
"How? I'll say it's okay? I promise that this tripod is definitely genuine." Seeing this scene, Lin Tian raised his head slightly and looked at Qin Luo with a smug look.
He can guarantee that this bronze tripod is absolutely real.
Qin Luo didn't answer in a hurry. The two indicators did not prove that the bronze tripod was real. What if the other party's fraudulent technology was superb?
Qin Luo smiled slightly, took the knife out of his pocket, and took out a piece of patina to observe its fractured section.
The cross section glowed with brown brilliance.
This is really a true tripod!
one two Three……
Although a little unbelievable, this tripod is really a true tripod.
"Huh..." Qin Luo took a long breath, just about to speak, but Qin Luo swallowed again when the words reached his lips.
He smelled a smell, a smell that did not belong to the copper cauldron itself.
This is a strong smell of earth!
After thinking about it, Qin Luo's eyes showed a touch of clarity, and he finally knew where Lin Tian's confidence came from.
Why would he have the courage to guarantee, because he knew the origin of this tripod.
With a slight smile, Qin Luo approached Li Tai, "Old Li, please..."
"My specialty is painting and calligraphy appraisal. I really don't know how to do this bronze, but I have notified another person. I think he should be coming soon..."
"Dang..."
