Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters black flowers embroidered pier
On the second day, Sosby's Asian boutique auction finally kicked off. Luo Tian had to admit that modern people have a better grasp of the concept of time than before. Five minutes before the prescribed entry time, all bidders
All of them came, and the phone was silent or turned off according to regulations.
The electronic screen of the venue began to play Sosby's origin story, the background of the auction and some important items. This was the first time Lu Taian participated in an auction of this scale, and was a little excited about Sosby.
The origin of this story is very popular.
In early March 1744, there was a place called "Cofen Garden" in London, England. It was always a fruit, vegetable and flower market, but it became the venue for a book auction at that time. The organizer was called Sanmir amp;#8226
;Baker's bookseller.
The book auction was held for ten days. During the day, buyers could appreciate and browse the books prepared for auction. When night fell, the auction lawsuit began to host bidding. In addition to booksellers, there were also some collectors participating in the bidding, and everyone seemed to be very satisfied with this.
Bidding transaction method. In ten days, hundreds of precious books changed hands, with a total transaction volume of 876 pounds.
This is the situation when auctions first appeared in the world as an industry. As a result, the world's oldest auction house, Sosby, was born.
It should be said that before Sosby, there were also goods sold through bidding. The earliest auctions in the world can be traced back to the ancient Roman times. The Romans at that time regarded statues, tapestries, etc. as auction items, but this was often the buyer and seller.
Behavior between auctioneers as intermediaries, auction lawsuits as professions appear in the world, and it is the first time that Sosby.
Since then, after more than 250 years of time, Sosby has gradually established the position of leading brother in the international antique and art market. Perhaps it is because of the background of Sanmier Baker's bookseller, in Sosby
In the history of 200 years, the auction of printed and manuscripts has always been the most praised by the world.
Luo Tian and Lu Tai'an sat together, and from time to time exchanged with Lu Tai'an the lot on the stage. The auction was as intense as expected. Now Luo Tian is very adaptable to the bidding voice. Because he does not participate in the auction, he feels very relaxed.
When it arrived at the Tibetan scythe, there was an extraordinary battle, which was far beyond Luo Tian's expectations.
The main ones who snatched Tibet Scarletts were Westerners. This may be because of the mystery of this land in the minds of foreigners. Everyone is very interested in this local style. The price has been soaring. Lu Tai'an is
He was stunned and kept chanting in his mouth: "It's so crazy, so crazy."
But this is just the beginning. The thing that Luo Tian was not very interested in in the front was set to the highest transaction price today. It was a pair of white-ground, black-flowered embroidered trunks of the Cizhou kiln in the Ming Dynasty, in the shape of a drum.
Both sides of the pole are decorated with two pavilions, and the main body of the instrument is painted with grape patterns, pine patterns, and peony patterns. The painting style is elegant and free.
The Song Dynasty was the heyday of the fire of Cizhou Kiln. It gathered the great achievements of the Song Dynasty's ceramic decoration, combined traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy and porcelain making art, and fired it with black and white contrast as the main artistic characteristics, and the decoration of white ground and black flowers as the typical.
The representative painted porcelain. By the Yuan Dynasty, the Cizhou Kiln in Pengcheng area set off a climax in porcelain making. In addition to inheriting the traditional varieties of the Song and Jin Dynasties, it further expanded its production scale and produced many large objects.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pengcheng Cizhou Kiln still maintained a considerable output, with significantly increasing kilns and varieties. The daily porcelain it fired almost covered the private market. Cizhou Kiln has had distinct characteristics of folk kilns since its inception.
The kiln workers used a series of decorative techniques to create rich decorative changes on the raw materials of coarse porcelain clay, making the Cizhou kiln objects simple, free and easy, bright and bold, and full of a lifestyle.
This pair of white and black flowers embroidered stakes were finally sold for a price of one million US dollars. Luo Tian shook his head. This pair of slammed at most 200,000 yuan. Luo Tian felt aroused in his heart. Looking at the crowd at the auction, is there anyone in the market?
Deliberately raising the price? Isn't this Sosby's style, or is it?
At this moment, Luo Tian saw Mr. Lent sitting in the front row standing up and walking quickly towards the backstage. Luo Tian felt that there must be something abnormal about the scene. Look at Luo Tian.
With such a profound expression, Lu Tai'an asked, "What's wrong, is this lot fake?"
"No, no, the transaction price is a bit too high." Luo Tian said: "I don't think it's normal."
At this moment, Luo Tian saw a staff member walking into the venue. They tried to slow down and walked quietly in the venue, as if searching for some target. About five minutes later, there were six bidders.
He was taken out and entered Sosby's backstage. Mr. Lent was waiting there with a dark face. Luo Tian said, "Master, I'll go over and come back soon."
Luo Tian called Hong Luo, who was sitting in the front row, and walked towards the backstage. When he approached, he heard Mr. Lent's low voice: "Several, your behavior will cost you the price, you deliberately raise it up.
Price, but in the end, we won't pay, which caused our lot to fail to sell. Right, I bump into many such people every year. I never tolerate someone doing this under my nose. I just need to look around for a week
, you will know that you are in the same group.”
So that's it! These people raised the price and discouraged people who knew the value of the item. Then they succeeded but would not pay in the end. The purpose of doing so was nothing more than to cause multiple items to fail at Sosby's auction.
Come to destroy Sosby's reputation. Judging from Mr. Rent's appearance, he was completely annoyed. Luo Tian now knows how powerful Mr. Rent is, and he doesn't know when he discovered this sign, and quickly
Find out the gang.
Mr. Lent saw Luo Tian. Seeing that Mr. Lent was very good, he just smiled and took Hong Luo away. Hong Luo asked curiously: "What happened?"
Luo Tian explained the actions of these people, and Hong Luo shook his head: "Is this definitely what my colleagues do?"
"No, there is another possibility." Luo Tian said: "In this way, especially companies like Sosby, the failure to sell the lot is something they have always avoided."
"Is this a good way to make money?" Hong Luo opened his mouth wide: "So blackmail can be divided into so many kinds?"
Luo Tian patted his shoulder: "If people want to do bad things, they will definitely do everything they can. Okay, let's leave it to Mr. Lent. Let's go back, the good show is still behind."
