What comes up now is a piece of fragrant jade. This fragrant jade looks nothing more than an irregular stone with a reddish-brown color. But Luo Tian knows that once he approaches this stone, he can smell the rich chocolate fragrance.
The fragrance of this stone will also change with the weather.
This is a piece of incense stone produced in Hanzhong. This stone is very rare and precious in nature. Geologists once found some rocks in the deep mountains with lush flowers and plants, which exuded varying degrees of fragrance. People have analyzed through infrared spectroscopy
It was found that there are some organic components in these rocks. The aroma of more organic matter will be strong and the aroma will be lighter. Studies have confirmed that fragrance is produced by substances with spices after long-term invasion of rocks. This shows that fragrance is
The distribution is not only related to the types of flowers and plants around the rocks, but also depends on the rock's adsorption ability to organic matter. After testing some rocks, it was found that this yellow-green serpentine has a strong ability to adsorb fragrance substances. So once the outside world
If the conditions are met, it is very likely to become a scented stone, but it is still unknown how long it will take to absorb the aroma.
The fragrance of scented stone will have a certain degree of discontinuity. If you want it to be more fragrant, you can soak it in alcohol. Because alcohol is volatile, the fragrance will evaporate immediately and it will smell more fragrant. And it is also
The darker the color of the fragrant stone, the stronger the fragrance, and the only place of origin is, only Micang Mountain in Hanzhong has such fragrant stone. In the antique market, the fragrant stone has always been heard only and disappeared.
The next item is actually not a fine Asian product in strict sense, because it was originally produced in Russia and only appeared in Japan, so it was sent to auction as a fine product of Japan. This is a jewelry piece.
The surface of the belt is decorated with patterns made of gilded silver wire, and 24 sky blue stones are inlaid with them. The back of the belt is printed with a person's avatar and the words "84".
In Russia, in addition to silver currency, silver daily necessities are widely used by local princes, nobles and religious upper class. The precious metals used in people's lives are the most common and most common, and they can not only be made into life
Supplies can also be used to decorate utensils or clothing items. It was not until the 19th century that silverware began to become a commodity, but only wealthy families could afford it. Now silverware production technology is quite exquisite, and the right to use it is also
It is no longer monopolized by the nobles, but silverware is still a relatively expensive choice in the minds of most people.
This silver belt has eight belt boards, and there is a belt buckle in front, which is a total of nine. It is connected with this living pin in the middle. The turning is very easy and it is very convenient to use.
The chrysanthemum style that is protruding and blooming in the middle is also inlaid with light green gems on the pattern. It has many intimate marks. One is the person's avatar facing the left, which was in 1876
During this period, there was another sign that Russian state made silverware. It had 84% of the silver tape, which contained 84%. At this time of the 19th century, the content of silverware in the West was relatively high.
The second last item is a piano - "The Great Sage's Relics" which was produced in the first year of Zhide in the Tang Dynasty, which was in 756 AD.
It was the first batch of palace zithers made by Emperor Li Heng after he ascended the throne.
Since the listener of the zither at this time came from the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the great sage's relic of the qin still maintained the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and had a beautiful and profound temperament. Its thickness is reflected in the qin
Large and thick curves.
The inscription of the Great Sage Yiyin Qin is also different from the ordinary guqin. The broken patterns of this piano also show the characteristics of the times: they look like the belly pattern of the big snake, and several tiny cow hairs appear between these textures.
Broken lines. It is obvious that these broken lines are produced as the paint ages. Moreover, this "Great Sage's Relic" zither has the characteristics of strange, ancient, transparent, moist, quiet, round, uniform, clear, fragrant, etc.
A beautiful tone. It can be said that it combines charm into one instrument, and is rare among the guqins heirlooms.
As Luo Tian expected, the finale was the ivory folding fan. Due to the protection of object tines, ivory has been restricted in many fields as production applications. In terms of materials alone, ivory is a very precious material.
Folding fans first appeared in the Song Dynasty. It is recorded that it is an imported product. A folding fan is mainly composed of three parts: fan bone, fan page and fan surface. Ordinary folding fans are generally made of bamboo and wood as fan surfaces and tough paper as fan surfaces. A more particular fan surface is the fan surface.
The above also requires poems and paintings. High-end folding fans, fan bones and fan blades are often made of ivory. Various patterns are also carved on top, and most of the fan surfaces are filled with famous calligraphy and paintings.
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the number of ivory folding fans increased significantly. The reason was related to the production process. If you use ivory to make a round fan, you must first pull out a thin filament from the ivory, which invisibly increases the difficulty of making.
The folding fan was much simpler. In the late Qing Dynasty, ivory folding fans were regarded as a symbol of wealth display by high-ranking officials and nobles. Not only did the fan bones, but the fan pages were made of ivory, but even the fan surfaces were made of ivory.
The fan bones of this ivory folding fan are carved with landscape figures. The fan button is made of gold, and the fan page is spread out. The fan page is made of very thin tooth pieces. Each fan page is carved on both sides, and the fan page is paper.
There are paintings on both sides, one is a picture of characters and the other is a landscape painting, each with its own strengths.
While watching, Luo Tian explained these items to Hong Luo and Lu Tai'an. Time passed without realizing it, and the last folding fan was settled. From time to time, there were bursts of applause on the scene because of the high transaction price.
In the above, this auction was successful, but Luo Tian felt that most of the items were of average value, but they were sold at a high price under Sosby's big banner. Of course, there are still high-quality products, and they cannot be completely denied.
The value is not up to you, it depends on the market.
Luo Tian asked Lu Tai'an about the time he left Japan. Lu Tai'an had three days left and was about to fly back to the United States to reunite with his children. This time he saw his apprentice in Japan, which was already a good thing for him.
It was a surprise. Luo Tian thought that he could not let his master return to the United States empty-handed, so he immediately contacted the Japanese staff at Sosby and learned that a treasure hunt was held in a famous temple in Tokyo the next day. Luo Tian hurriedly
I contacted the organizer and hoped to catch up with the participation. He was lucky. The organizer invited Luo Tian to participate in the special order. The time was set at 9:00 am the next morning, and the time was one hour.
