The collection of antique clocks and watches has a long history in European and American countries, and is a very important category of antique collections.
These antique clocks follow ancient technology, embody a beautiful artistic style, express a rich history and culture, integrate a variety of unique crafts, and have unparalleled charm and irreproducible artistic value.
Before the twentieth century, antique clocks and watches were the favorites of the royal family and nobles. They spare no effort in design, production, and materials. Almost every antique clock is a work of art.
Today, these antique clocks that have been handed down are still the darlings of the antique art market and are enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors. From time to time, some sky-high antique clocks will appear.
And this is exactly why Ye Tian chose the gilt bronze clock in front of him.
Since I plan to cheat people, let me spit up a certain idiot once and vomit blood. I will be afraid and tremble in dreams when I see it!
In this way, it can also scare off the rest of those foolish fools, and save those guys from following their **** all the time, looking annoying!
Of course, this is bound to make the antique stall owner in front of him in vain and make him a fortune! This is an unavoidable thing, I can only say that this buddy is lucky, let him copy it!
The gilt bronze siming bell placed in front of Ye Tian's eyes is a typical Baroque art style, with complex modeling, luxurious and gorgeous, well-made, and the whole body engraved with exquisite decorations. It even looks a bit exaggerated.
On the top of this table clock, there is a gilt bronze angel. The figure is exquisitely carved and vivid. The base and the four Corinthian columns are also carved with some exquisite patterns and patterns.
The four sides of the table clock are made of crystal glass. The dial is a painted white enamel plate with Arabic numerals engraved on it. The hands are gilded and carved. The pendulum is also white enamel!
More importantly, on the dial of this gilt bronze table clock, the signature of a famous 19th century watchmaker is also engraved, which looks very realistic.
When he first saw this clock, Ye Tian knew that it was a high imitation bronze gilt clock, a fake, but he still sighed secretly for the craftsmanship of this clock!
There is no doubt that this is a very good modern handicraft, but it's a pity that it was born out of time!
If it was manufactured before the 20th century and it was made by hand, it must be a valuable antique watch that has been passed down to this day!
Ye Tian pretended to carefully check the clock inside and out, and then raised his head to look at the antique vendor, and he was ready to inquire about the price.
At this moment, he finally heard his long-awaited voice next to him.
"Steven, can you show me this clock? I really like Baroque antiques. Now that I came across such a clock, I don't want to miss it!"
The speaker is a white man in his fifties. Judging from his outfit, he should have some family background. The limited edition Audemars Piguet Millennium on his wrist is worth seven to eighty thousand euros.
Obviously, this is probably a rich man who came to Nice for a vacation. He came to Sareya Square to shop for treasure. I did not expect to encounter such a lively event. Driven by greed, he also wanted to make some money.
There is another possibility, this is an antique dealer, but this possibility is very small, almost non-existent.
Turning his head to see this one's first glance, Ye Tian judged his identity very closely. The result of the secret perspective also proved his judgment.
This is a rich German man who came to Nice for vacation and an antique layman. He knows a little bit about antique knowledge and the rules of the industry at best!
Not only Ye Tian, the antique stall owner also looked at the rich man, and quickly made a judgment, an ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
For him, the German rich man who jumped out in front of him is simply a fat sheep waiting to be killed, and he must not let it go!
The German rich man's voice just fell, and someone jumped out on the other side of Ye Tian.
"Mr. Steven, I would also like to see this baroque-style table clock, it really looks very beautiful and exciting!"
The speaker of was a Japanese man in his 30s and 40s. From his awkward English accent and his ninety degree bow, he could make the most accurate judgment.
Needless to say, this is also a Japanese tourist who came to Nice and wanted to make a fortune.
Like before, the antique stall owner's eyes flashed with ecstasy again, and he almost cheered.
At this time, he no longer hated Ye Tian for ruining his good deeds and let the cooked duck fly from his mouth. Instead, he began to secretly thank Ye Tian!
Of course, the premise is that this gilt bronze table clock can be sold smoothly and at a good price.
Ye Tian looked at these two reckless idiots, then his expression sank, and said with a sneer:
"Gentlemen, you are not very authentic in doing this, right? I am admiring and appraising this gilt bronze table clock, and I am going to ask for the price. You jump out and interrupt at this time, it is not in compliance!"
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Steven, I am not an insider in the antiques industry. I don't understand your trading rules. I would take the liberty, but I really like this antique clock!"
The Japanese said sincerely, and bowed again ninety degrees, but his eyes flashed with greed.
As for the rich German man, it is even more straightforward.
He walked directly to Ye Tian, looked down at the gilt-bronze clock, and then started asking the stall owner for a price.
"Man, what is the price of this gilt bronze clock? As long as the price is right, I intend to accept this antique gilt bronze clock"
As soon as 's words fell, the Japanese walked quickly, looked at the gilt bronze clock, and then looked at the antique stall owner.
However, the antique stall owner did not immediately give an offer. Instead, he looked at Ye Tian and wanted to see how he would react.
Ye Tian just smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said nothing.
Seeing this situation, where the stall owner would wait, he immediately gave the price of the gilt bronze clock.
"Gentlemen, the price of this gilt bronze table clock is 150,000 Euros. If you are all interested in this table clock, then you can bid fair, and the higher price will get!"
"I'll go, 150,000 euros, this guy really dares to open his teeth, and the knife is cruel enough, he is a black-hearted guy!"
Ye Tian murmured a few words secretly, almost didn't laugh out loud.
After giving the quotation, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes full of expectation, and vaguely anxious.
Not only the stall owner, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, wanting to see what reaction he would give, especially the rich German and the Japanese, who were watching him closely.
Ye Tian glanced around the scene, then looked at the rich German and the Japanese, and said to the two idiots:
"Gentlemen, I will not comment on this offer. If you think it is worth the price, then you can bid fairly. Maybe I will join the competition later.
If you are unwilling to take the lead in bidding, and want to wait for me to make a bid first, and you can follow up the bidding, then you will probably be disappointed. I will not take the lead in bidding. That is not my style.
If you withdraw, then when I talk to the stall owner next time, you had better not intervene again. That approach is not only unnatural, but also very despicable! "
The scene fell silent, there was no sound.
The rich German and the Japanese were all stunned. They didn't know what to do for a while, whether the price should be met or not!
The rest are watching them, waiting for their decision!
