Chapter two hundred and eight black copper and silver
Seeing this kind of operation, Chen Wenzhe was a little stunned.
However, his movements were not slow. He stretched out his hand and took a paperweight from the hand of a guy who was obviously trying to enhance the atmosphere.
"Haha, the young man is so fast. This dark paperweight should be made of ebony."
The man was very surprised, but he was obviously very happy, because he was the trustee. He got the thing, but it didn't mean he sold it.
But if Chen Wenzhe snatches it, they will gain one thousand and eighty yuan.
"This is not ebony, it must be rosewood, I understand!" Chen Wenzhe said deliberately with a proud look on his face.
"Well, young man, you have such good eyesight, I didn't steal it from you!"
"I have a good eye. I want all these things. If I open a shop at home, I can wholesale a batch of high-quality products to support the scene."
As he said that, Chen Wenzhe squeezed to the table and immediately cleared away a furoshiki spread on the table. Several pots on it, plus seven or eight teacups, all fell together.
"These black ones should be silver pots, right? They're not sterling silver, otherwise they wouldn't be so black, and they wouldn't be able to be washed out. Wouldn't these also sell for 1,800 a piece?"
"No, three hundred and eighty pieces is enough. There are more than twenty pieces in total. You can give me seven thousand five thousand."
As he said that, the guy slipped out a large package from under the table again.
"Nine thousand and three in total, I also have a paperweight here!"
"Forget it, for the sake of little brother Bao Yuan, I'll give you nine thousand yuan."
The guy selling the pot is really generous.
He was very happy, and Chen Wenzhe was not bad either. He directly took out a pile of RMB and planned to take out ten from it.
However, when they saw the money, several people around them winked at the same time and suppressed Chen Wenzhe's hand.
"Little brother, don't worry. As we said just now, we came to the inner city today and brought a lot of things, so we kept them until now. If you really want to buy some goods, why don't you take a look at the things in our car?"
"What else? Aren't they all pots? I just saw that the craftsmanship of this thing is pretty good, but the quality is a bit poor, and the silver used has too many impurities. It would be fine if they were all of the same variety. I buy too many of these things.
It’s also a bargain.”
"No, we also have a batch of small items, as well as the larger ones if you want them, but the biggest ones are some vases, table lamps and the like."
After a slight pause, Chen Wenzhe hesitated and said: "How big can the vase and table lamp be? If the small items are counted as one hundred, I want them."
"Okay, small items will be counted as one hundred and eight for you. This kind of pot and matching tea bowl will be counted as three hundred and eighty. I will give you a discount on the larger ones, which will also be counted as three hundred and eighty. Is that okay?"
"I'll wait here. If you bring something, I'll pay for it!" After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Wenzhe agreed.
Don't give up on the things that are delivered to your door.
Besides, this time it’s not a scam, let alone a fake, but something handed down from generation to generation.
I just don't know why, but they were kept a little bit dirty, making them look dirty.
However, Chen Wenzhe was able to confirm that each of these dirty things contained gold or silver.
Chen Wenzhe may not recognize other things, and he can't guarantee anything, but his hands are allergic to precious metals such as gold and silver.
Therefore, whenever he touches gold or silver, his hands will become hot.
This gold-touching skill is really useful!
Chen Wenzhe knew that there was not much gold in these dark things, but his master-level gold-touching skills were able to weigh out the gold inside.
Any utensils mixed with gold are not simple.
For example, the Xuande stove he sold before was made of copper-gold alloy.
And these pitch-black silverware seems to be copper-gold alloy, or copper-silver alloy!
After settling the bill first and buying the things in his hands, Chen Wenzhe finally felt relieved.
Things were transferred to their table, but there were many people standing next to them. These must be trustees.
Fortunately, these guys, together with the unlucky ones who were really attracted, all grabbed those wood carvings, otherwise, all of these things would not have fallen into Chen Wenzhe's hands.
Those people were very fast, and within a few minutes they came over with a few suitcases.
When I opened it, I found that the suitcase was full of vases, incense burners, or some oddly shaped pots.
Regarding pots, Chen Wenzhe also has master-level skills, so even if these are copper pots, he will not miss them because he also has specialized skills in making copperware.
At this time, he was 70 to 80% sure that these were copper kettles, but he didn't know why the copper kettles turned into something dark.
It was mixed with silver, and he thought it was silverware at first.
Pulling over a suitcase, inside were two pairs of vases, a bit like plum vases, but with open tops.
In order to save space, these guys stuffed some pendants and bracelets into the vase.
Hookahs, vases, incense burners, wine vessels, tea vessels, and the four treasures of the study. There are quite a lot of things. Whose home are they carrying?
This batch of things looks very old.
Just by looking at the craftsmanship, Chen Wenzhe can see the Qing Dynasty.
Although it cannot reach the level of the third Qing Dynasty, it can still reach the middle Qing Dynasty.
This is very good. Not to mention the craftsmanship, at this age, the value cannot be bought for three to five hundred.
There were so many things, big and small, that Chen Wenzhe couldn't even count them all for a while.
At this time, Zhang Yijie and the others swarmed forward and counted directly.
This time, almost another 20,000 yuan was paid. After getting the money, the group of people dispersed.
"Are you afraid that we will be blamed?"
Chen Wenzhe ignored Zheng Yu. He was looking carefully at the hookah in his hand.
This thing is more conspicuous, so it should be easier to find information.
The boot-shaped hookah is instantly recognizable to everyone.
Sure enough, after searching for shoe-shaped hookah, a lot of information came up immediately, setting the black copper pot with silver wire on it.
The search results this time are more accurate.
Black copper is rolled with silver, which is a craft that was originated in Shiping, Nanyun. It is a unique traditional copper craft of the Han nationality in Nanyun.
It uses copper as a body, carves various patterns on the body, and then fills the patterns with molten silver (or gold) water.
After cooling and polishing, the base copper will naturally turn black over time, revealing the silver (or gold) pattern, showing a distinct decorative effect of black and white (or black and yellow), antique, elegant and unique.
Since they are generally inlaid with silver, they are called "black copper with silver".
In the past, most of these handicrafts were stationery utensils, etc., but now the categories are very wide.
"Are you just improvising?"
Seeing Chen Wenzhe's sexy moves, Zhang Yijie was stunned and stunned.
If I miss something at the antique market, can I still check the information after buying it?
