Chapter 164 Ordinary people can't see it? (Guarantee 1
Chen Wenzhe was not polite and charged two hundred gold appraisal fees.
Another invoice of three thousand was issued, which was the cost of appraising the calligraphy and painting.
Don't think it's expensive, that's the rule. If you think it's expensive, you don't have to do an appraisal. If you choose to sell it directly to Chen Wenzhe, he will naturally not charge an appraisal fee.
However, if this is the case, leaks and holes will appear.
In fact, this is a question of whether you want to give it up. If you are not willing to give up the appraisal fee, do not trust the appraiser, or simply find an unreliable appraiser, you may lose the treasure.
I don’t know whether these aunts sought medical treatment in a hurry, or whether they trusted Chen Wenzhe because they appraised a few pieces of gold jewelry. Anyway, they paid the money very happily.
After receiving the money, Chen Wenzhe naturally would not neglect it.
This time after he picked up the scroll, he did not open it on the coffee table, but put it on the desk.
Although he has not specifically studied calligraphy and painting appraisal, he knows a lot about calligraphy and painting by analogy.
Not to mention other things, just being a master of carving and painting makes his understanding of calligraphy and painting far more than some ordinary experts.
Slowly open it, it is not large in size, it is a picture of Chinese characters, and it is a Chinese character "Hundred Blessings", or it is a picture of "Hundred Blessings", which is a piece of paper with one hundred Blessing characters written on it.
I looked at the author, Tiebao, and two seals.
Tiebao, a native of Zhenghuang Banner in Manzhou, was a Jinshi in the 37th year of Qianlong's reign, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Governor of Liangjiang.
His calligraphy is based on Yan Zhenqing, who specializes in cursive calligraphy. Wang Xizhi, Huai Su, Liu Yong, and Weng Fanggang are all good at cursive calligraphy. He also likes to draw plum blossoms and has written poems on plum boxes.
Tiebao was well-known for his articles and calligraphy. He was the president of the "Tongzhi of the Eight Banners" and compiled the bannermen's poems into 134 volumes of "Baishan Shijie", and his own works were compiled into "The Complete Works of Wei Qingzhai".
In addition, Tiebao is also the most famous calligrapher among the Manchus.
The painting in Chen Wenzhe's hands is relatively simple. Whether it is the signature, seal or words, it is relatively simple and can be said to be clear at a glance.
These aunts also came in by mistake, so they found the right person. At least Chen Wenzhe didn't pretend to understand and lie to others.
When he saw this inscription, Chen Wenzhe knew that it must be authentic.
The words are like the people, and what is said is the charm in the words.
No matter who writes what calligraphy, if you imitate it, you will definitely not be able to imitate this charm. In porcelain making, handwriting is also the most difficult to imitate.
Especially for some people with status, their long-term life in a high position has allowed them to develop a unique temperament. Among other things, they are just confident, which is difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
For example, Tie Bao's handwriting contains a kind of confidence that makes him write very smoothly, and it is difficult to imitate it so smoothly.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe was very happy to see such a picture of Tiebao's Baifu.
Such a painting, if it is real, can definitely be sold for a high price.
Especially when you go to the capital, where some people still talk about the Eight Flags, as long as such a picture of Baifu appears, the price will definitely not be lower.
"Is it true?" As soon as Chen Wenzhe straightened up, the aunt asked anxiously.
"The handwriting is good, and there are no other problems with it. It's just that it's a little blurry, or the handwriting isn't very clear. If there's a problem, it's just this little problem, but everything else is fine."
Taking off his gloves, Chen Wenzhe was a little confused. After entering the antique shop, everything he saw seemed fake.
It is not easy to distinguish between false and true.
He looked around for this painting, but couldn't find any major flaws.
No matter it is paper, scroll, mounting, handwriting, signature or seal, there is no problem.
The only problem is that what he said just now, the handwriting is a little unclear, or the traces are relatively faint?
At this time, Chen Wenzhe suddenly remembered that there is another method of counterfeiting in the antique shop, which is to expose paintings. Didn't you encounter one today?
Looking carefully again, it turns out that the characters in this picture do not go deep into the inner layer and appear a bit superficial.
When he had doubts, Chen Wenzhe carefully opened the scroll, opened the painting a little, and exposed a little of the painting's heart. Then he compared the inner paper and the result came out. This was a secondary framed work.
It was almost solid. This was a revealing picture, and it was not the first and second pictures, it was definitely the third picture. Otherwise, he would not have been able to easily see that something was wrong.
The ancients used special paper for painting. Generally, the paper used for painting was made from several layers of paper pulp when it was produced.
There are many benefits to doing this, the most important one is to prevent staining.
The most feared thing about calligraphy and painting works is the staining of the pen and ink, and the more layers of paper, the easier it is to absorb water.
Therefore, for an ancient painting, if you peel off the upper layer and let the pen and ink stain the second layer, there will still be an identical calligraphy and painting.
This piece of work was handled very well. At least at the beginning, Chen Wenzhe didn't see any problems.
If you are not a master in the field, you will never dare to do this kind of work.
As long as you move your hands, it will be difficult for ordinary people to see it.
"Did you buy this?" Chen Wenzhe straightened up and didn't know what to say.
"No, others mortgaged it to me, and the price wasn't cheap either."
The aunt's face has turned bad. At first, Chen Wenzhe's performance made her a little happy, but later, she obviously found another problem!
Chen Wenzhe was even more helpless. This kind of thing seemed to happen often in the antique shop.
"You must have been fooled, right?"
"Auntie, can you tell me how much I paid?"
"Not much, but not much either. One piece of calligraphy is worth 10,000 yuan!"
Chen Wenzhe was swallowing his saliva. When he heard this, he almost choked.
"How much? Just ten thousand?"
It’s still very expensive? Do you have any misunderstandings about ancient calligraphy and painting?
"Is it lower? Or is it higher?"
"Hey, nothing more, nothing less, it's just right. Your friend probably didn't want to lie to you, and maybe he thought he was repaying your favor. If this thing is real, it's worth at least 100,000, and it can be sold for 10,000 now."
"Isn't it really so expensive?"
The aunt looked confused, can a fake one sell for 10,000?
"It's true. How should I put it? Have you ever heard of unveiling paintings? It means peeling off an authentic painting layer by layer and turning it into two, or even three or four paintings. This should be how yours came to be.
of."
"Is that why the handwriting looks so blurry?"
"Yes, at first I thought it was an authentic painting, but then I noticed that the handwriting was blurred, and then I suddenly thought of uncovering the painting. Peeling off three or four layers of a thin piece of rice paper is not something everyone can do, and
This calligraphy is indeed from an authentic work. If you are not in a hurry to spend money, just keep it for your collection."
The aunt smiled. It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, nor the things. What’s important is the friendship it represents.
As long as his friend didn't lie to her, that would be better than anything else.
"This kind of deception can't be seen by ordinary people?"
