Every dynasty in China will produce a large number of fake antiques, and the purpose is nothing more than "profit". However, people who collect now have learned to be smart and are not very sure.
, rarely spend huge sums of money to buy items that are unclear.
As a result, the business of many antique dealers is difficult, because they mainly make money from fake and high-imitation items, so some people take great pains to package their fake items and then sell them.
hand for sale.
This packaging refers to the appraisal certificate issued by an expert or professional organization. In the hearts of ordinary people, experts or professional organizations are still more recognized. With this packaging, fake antiques can not only be sold as genuine, but also the price.
It's not much better than the real thing.
People with this kind of mentality are not just antique dealers. Some people who collect and pay tuition will also take out fake things to fish in troubled waters, get an appraisal certificate, and then earn back the money they spent. In short
There are all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of people trying to figure out all kinds of thoughts.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the antiques industry that "antiquities cannot be cracked down on counterfeiting." Antiques trading is about paying one hand and delivering the goods. As for whether the things sold are true or false, the seller has no obligation to tell you whether what you buy is good.
Whether it is bad or not depends entirely on your eyesight. You have to admit whether it is good or bad. There is no reason to return it.
However, in recent years, as many auction items have reached record highs, the art market has once again become a hot spot for investment. Many people spend all their money just to buy three or five antiques that they do not know are authentic and fake, and make a "one-night rush"
The dream of "richness".
How can we sleep peacefully with hundreds of thousands or millions of things at home that we don’t know are true or false? The answer is simple - certificates. These days, a piece of stamped paper is more useful than anything else, even if it is as powerful as Microsoft.
Even if it is as vast as a grand one, it has suffered the loss of being dumb.
Although there are many people who have this idea, most of the people at the scene today are still unsure about the authenticity of the antiques in their hands and want to ask experts to identify them.
At Zhuang Rui's table just now, no one came forward to ask him for an appraisal. The main reason was that Zhuang Rui's face looked too young and did not look like an expert, so many people did not dare to give him their collections.
Zhuang Rui appraised it, what if his thing was real and he said it was fake?
However, there were a total of six experts on the stage, but there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the audience. Zhuang Rui's action of identifying the snuff bottle just now was also seen by many people. The old man who wanted to take advantage had just left, Zhuang Rui's table
Two people came over.
"Teacher Zhuang, could you please help me take a look at this manuscript? Is it an antique?"
The man walking in front held a wooden box in his hand and placed it in front of Zhuang Rui.
"I'm sorry, this is mainly about jade. For calligraphy and painting, you need to find Teacher Jin."
Although Zhuang Rui was a little curious, he couldn't steal someone else's job, so he still told the person to queue up. Fatty Jin was the busiest now.
"Teacher Zhuang, this thing I have is jade, please show it to me..."
The second person who came up also held a palm-sized box in his hand and placed it in front of Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui opened the box and took a look. Inside, there were five thumb-sized beauties carved from white jade. Some had a drum hanging on their waist, some held a drumstick high in their hands, and some were in the shape of kneeling down.
, the shapes of the five jade figures are different, their facial expressions are vividly depicted, and they also have obvious Qin color. From the appearance, they should be a set of jade carvings that reflect ancient sacrifices.
He held it in his hand and played with it. The patina was quite thick. When Zhuang Rui raised the magnifying glass, the aura in his eyes silently overflowed into these small objects. At this glance, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be disappointed.
I originally thought I would encounter a real object, but it turned out to be fake.
It can't be said to be fake. The jade is real and the carving is pretty good, but it is aged. It should be from recent years, because Zhuang Rui discovered that among these jade figures, although some
The meager spiritual energy, but the color is very light, and the bright colors made of pigments are also attached to the surface of these pieces of jade, and have not invaded at all. In other words, the fake people color these jade.
It's not very long.
Zhuang Rui put down the magnifying glass in his hand, looked up at the treasure holder in front of him, and asked: "Sir, can you tell me the origin of this set of jade articles of yours?"
The treasure holder was about thirty years old, wearing a pair of glasses and a gentle manner. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he quickly said: "I am a teacher who teaches history in a middle school. I watched this thing on CCTV the year before last."
After the treasure appraisal column, I bought it from the antique market..."
"How much did it cost?" Zhuang Rui asked.
"Haha, the person who sold me the thing said it was an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty. It was still stained with dirt at the time. It cost me a total of 2,800 yuan. Teacher Zhuang, is this jade fake?"
This history teacher has a better mentality. It seems that he has already mentally prepared that the object is fake.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said: "The jade is not fake, but it is not the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, but the old jade after modern carving. The jade is white jade from Hotan, the quality is average, but this set of old sacrificial jade, carved
The workmanship is good, you can keep it for yourself and play with it, and then go to the antique market in the future, look more and sell less. If this thing is real, you need to add two zeros after the price you bought it..."
Zhuang Rui also entered the role of an expert at this moment. Although he had to use his spiritual energy to identify the authenticity of this set of jade articles, it also gave Zhuang Rui an insight. Even modern carving techniques are not necessarily worse than those in ancient times. They are even worse.
It should be a little more than that. If this set of jade is preserved for hundreds of years, it will still be a set of ancient jade with exquisite carving.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhuang. I will pay attention to it in the future." The visitor was very satisfied with Zhuang Rui's answer. After bowing, he took his belongings and walked away.
Zhuang Rui and others all have small microphones on their collars. What they say on the stage can be clearly heard by the people below. The appraisal of this set of jade just now is very reasonable and well-founded.
Everyone in the audience had a little more confidence in the young appraiser. As soon as the history teacher walked off the stage, a fashionably dressed lady came up.
"Teacher Zhuang, this is a glass bracelet I bought when I was traveling in Myanmar a few years ago. I heard that the price of jade has increased a lot in the past few years. Do you think how much this bracelet of mine is worth now?"
Seeing that the lady who came on stage did not have anything in her hand, Zhuang Rui was feeling strange when the woman took off a bracelet from her wrist and placed it in front of Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui picked up the bracelet and said casually: "Jade itself has the characteristics of heat transfer. In today's weather, if you put jade on your face, you will feel cool, and natural jade contains essential nutrients for the human body."
A variety of minerals are in direct contact with the skin when wearing the bracelet, so the minerals in jade are easily absorbed by the human body, which can supplement the various minerals needed by the human body and can also effectively promote blood circulation.
However, your jade bracelet is fake. It is made of colored glass. Although there is no harm in wearing it, it will not do any good to the body..."
While Zhuang Rui was speaking, he had already identified the bracelet. It was made of green colored glass that was infused with chromium oxide and copper oxide.
"Impossible. I bought this for 30,000 yuan. It also has an appraisal certificate. It's a genuine product. Young man, do you know what it is?"
After the woman heard Zhuang Rui say that the bracelet was fake, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately turned against her. She also called Zhuang Rui from teacher to young man. The conversation between the two caused a lot of discussion in the audience.
"I'm just saying, that person is too young and must be inexperienced..."
"That's right. Others have certificates of identification. How could it be fake..."
"Not necessarily. Everything is fake these days, so the appraisal certificate can't be fake?"
There were various comments, some supported the woman, and some helped Zhuang Rui. Suddenly, the originally quiet venue became noisy.
"Xiaozhuang, what's going on?"
The woman's voice alerted several other experts who were appraising treasures. They all put down the objects in their hands and looked at Zhuang Rui. Although Zhuang Rui was younger, they came together. If something went wrong, the expressions on their faces would be gone.
It is also shameless. This is a matter of both prosperity and loss.
"The glass bracelet I bought for 30,000 yuan was said to be fake. No, I need an expert appraisal. In addition, you have to issue me an appraisal certificate, otherwise I won't be able to tell clearly."
Before Zhuang Rui could speak, the woman shouted with an angry face. She was not here to disrupt the situation, but she had bought the bracelet for several years and was reluctant to wear it. When she suddenly heard that it was a fake, she felt angry.
Somewhat frightened, I raised my voice to cover up my uneasiness.
"You're right. If you talk a lot, you can't do things well. Change someone!"
"Young people just can't do it. What others bought for 30,000 yuan becomes worthless when it comes to their mouth..."
However, her words aroused sympathy from the audience, and many people spoke out in support. These people also had a sympathy mentality, and were afraid that when they came on stage, the objects would also be fake.
"Xiao Zhuang, show me the bracelet..."
Mr. Sun stood up from the table where the antique appraisal sign was placed, walked to Zhuang Rui, and took the bracelet from Zhuang Rui, who was in a daze.
Zhuang Rui was really stunned by the woman's machine gun words just now. He didn't react until the bracelet was taken away by Mr. Sun. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was his age that was to blame. If it were replaced by several other experts, I'm afraid
This woman doesn't have this attitude, does she? She can't even tell the truth.
But then Zhuang Rui overturned his own thoughts. If this person is unreasonable, no one will buy it.
"This bracelet is indeed fake. Miss, although Myanmar produces jade, it does not mean that the jade sold there is real. On the contrary, they use the gimmick of producing jade to sell fakes. There are not a few people in the country who have been fooled.
of."
"You are all in this together. Of course you are protecting your own people. You said it is false. What evidence do you have?"
After Mr. Sun read the bracelet, he came to the same conclusion as Zhuang Rui. However, it was obvious that the lady still could not accept Mr. Sun's conclusion, and even attacked several experts on the stage.
"You want evidence, right? I can give it to you."
Zhuang Rui held back his anger, took the bracelet from Mr. Sun's hand, and said, "You can come over and take a look with a magnifying glass. There are no bubbles in real jade, but look at this bracelet. It's full of bubbles."
The woman curled her lips. Although her body did not move, there was a trace of doubt on her face.
Zhuang Rui still didn't give up when he saw this woman, and said, "Miss, can you give me two hairs?"
"What do you want hair for?"
Although the woman didn't understand what Zhuang Rui meant, she still pulled out two long hairs from her head and handed them to Zhuang Rui.
"It's true, let's do an experiment..."
Zhuang Rui took off the glass pendant from his neck and said: "My Guanyin pendant is also made of glass. I will do an experiment next and everyone will understand after reading it."
"Does anyone have a lighter?"
As Zhuang Rui spoke, he picked up a piece of hair and wrapped it around the pendant. When he touched his body, he found that the gown didn't even have a pocket, but the lighter for cigarettes was in his clothes.
"I have..." Following the shout, someone from the audience ran up and handed Zhuang Rui a lighter.
"As I said just now, jade conducts heat relatively quickly, so wrap your hair around this piece of jade. If you burn it with fire, the heat will be transferred away quickly and the temperature will rise slowly, so your hair will not be burned in a short while.
"
Zhuang Rui took the lighter, stood up, raised the jade Guanyin pendant he was holding in his left hand, then used the lighter in his right hand to make a flame, placed it where there was hair and burned it. After four or five seconds, Zhuang Rui put down the lighter.
, and took off the hair that was wrapped around his Guanyin pendant.
"Look, everyone, is this hair not broken?"
After Zhuang Rui straightened the somewhat crooked hair, he showed it to everyone in the audience.
"It's really not broken..."
"Hurry up and try that other bracelet..."
Seeing such a scene, people in the audience started talking, but the owner of the bracelet turned a little pale.
"Okay, let's try this bracelet again."
As Zhuang Rui spoke, he wrapped another piece of hair around the bracelet, and then used the same action as before to use a lighter to burn the hair wrapped around the bracelet. The owner of the bracelet was closest to Zhuang Rui and could clearly see the hair on the flames.
When I put it on for two or three seconds, it was already burned and curled up.
Putting down the bracelet and picking up the hair that was burned into two pieces, Zhuang Rui didn't need to say anything more. Everyone in the venue could clearly see who was right or wrong, who was true or false.
