The first thousand one hundred and forty-two chapters
Thanks for supporting the 1888 starting coins rewarded by Brother Nader. This is the second time this month.
Uncle Li invited everyone to sit down in the living room, and carried tea for everyone, and then said: "This is your first time here. Let me tell you first. Brother Harvey also knows my situation. He has been playing for most of his life.
It’s a pity that my son and daughter are not interested in antiques, and they have all immigrated abroad. They don’t even want their ancestral home anymore.
I am getting older now. Sooner or later, after my death, they will sell all these antiques. In this case, I think it is better to transfer them to friends in the antique industry, so as not to be wasted by my children."
Harvey nodded and said: "Mr. Li, I have also told my friends about your situation. Time is precious, so let's go take a look at the objects first."
Uncle Li chuckled, and without saying much, he led them to a storage room. When Han Peacock walked in, he found that the room was not as dazzling as he had just imagined, with no dazzling array of antiques at all.
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Uncle Li said: "Haha, I'm sorry, everyone. Several local collectors knew that my items were about to change hands and have already come over."
"Hey!" Harvey said angrily: "Mr. Li, are you a little unreasonable? My friend worked hard to come from the capital, why should he pick up what others have left? Can you promise me to give it to me?
Keep it."
Uncle Li smiled and waved ≮∈,ww↓w. He waved his hand and said: "Brother Harvey, don't be angry yet. I've kept all the good stuff for you! You will each gain something from keeping it."
Mr. Li obviously knew what Harvey was doing, so he didn't take Harvey's words to heart at all. If he hadn't been anxious to deal with these things, he would never let people like Harvey
Handled.
After speaking, Mr. Li led everyone to a square table, pointed to the table and the two armchairs next to it and said, "You guys take a look at these three pieces first. I will bring out some treasures later."
After Uncle Li left, everyone immediately began to look at the table and chairs.
Let’s talk about this table first. This table is about 1.6 meters wide, about 50 centimeters deep, and almost 80 centimeters high. At first glance, the wood texture on the table is clear, like flowing clouds and flowing water. It is very beautiful and can be clearly seen.
You can see the naturally formed "grimace" lines, which are the basic characteristics of Hainan Huanghuali.
Looking at the heavy coating on the surface of the table, we can tell that this huanghuali table must be quite old.
Wu Dong took out a handkerchief and wiped the table, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said to everyone: "Yes. This should be a sea huanghuali table. Judging from its coating and
The workmanship should be from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so it is very collectible."
Everyone should have no doubts and nod in agreement. Such an obvious big door is generally correct as long as it is not fake. As for this piece, if you look at the patina, it will not be fake.
After that, I looked at the chairs again. At a glance, I saw that the two chairs were both ancient Taishi chairs made of rosewood. In the center of the Taishi chair, there was an exquisite sika deer. This sika deer was carved with three-dimensional hollow carvings and was very delicate.
It’s exquisite, and with a circle of plum blossoms around it, it looks even more festive.
These two pieces of red sandalwood Taishi chairs are classical fine furniture made of red sandalwood as standard material, combining art and personality. These are also two big door-opening things.
Rosewood furniture has always had a relatively high status in China. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, only the emperor could use it. It seems that the Li family must have been a noble here.
Since it is truly ancient furniture, the materials used are naturally sufficient, and rosewood is an extremely precious wood. Because of its slow growth, it will take hundreds of years to become a piece of wood. The large materials are extremely difficult to obtain, and the wood is hard and dense, making it suitable for carving.
There are various exquisite patterns, so the price is relatively expensive.
As for this chair, it looks simple, heavy, and exquisite, and is very well preserved.
In addition, the utensils made of red sandalwood, after waxing and polishing without the need for paint, the surface will show a satin-like luster, fully expressing the exquisite ox hair pattern of the red sandalwood, and it will look even more beautiful.
The texture of rosewood is slender and floating, with endless changes, especially its deep tone, which makes it appear steady, generous and beautiful. Therefore, it is regarded as the best among woods, with nine out of ten sandalwoods. The diameter of the largest rosewood is only about 20 centimeters, and it has "
There is a saying that “one inch of red sandalwood is worth one inch of gold”.
Only the royal family had the power to purchase rosewood from Southeast Asia. Countries paid tribute to it, including to the emperor, but the common people simply could not get it.
Later, red sandalwood was also available in the local area, but it was also used by local princes and nobles. Only at this time could these two chairs be spread to Western Xinjiang, and the owner of this ancient mansion must be
Princes and nobles.
Therefore, any piece of old red sandalwood furniture with exquisite workmanship is very rare. But now there are two exquisite red sandalwood Taishi chairs displayed in front of you, which can't help but cheer up your spirits.
These two rosewood Taishi chairs are almost the same. The backrest and armrests are made of whole boards to form a thick single board. The armrests have graceful curves. The backrest adopts a scroll-like style with a large backrest. The backrest board has a high relief pattern of "Fu Qing You Yu" on both sides.
Also double-sided high relief with deformed kidnapper dragon pattern.
The seat panel is flat-packed, the materials used are not sparing, and the workmanship is exquisite. Judging from its characteristics such as the patina and pulp workmanship, it should be Guangzhou Furniture in the Qianlong period.
Guangzuo refers to the furniture produced mainly in Guangdong and Guangdong areas. Its characteristic is that the materials used are not sparing and not compromised.
Guangzhou Furniture pays attention to the consistency of wood properties and never mixes other types of wood. Craftsmen select the best wood for production.
In order to express the beautiful texture, Guangdong Furniture is not decorated with paint, and the wood is completely exposed.
During the Qing Dynasty, the furniture in the palace was all made by old masters from Guangdong, and until now, only the skills in the hands of old masters from Guangdong are the most traditional and authentic craftsmanship.
Judging from their appearance, these two Taishi chairs are undoubtedly the best among Guangzhou's works. They are very representative and rare.
These two chairs are eye-catching just by looking at their workmanship, but it still needs to be verified whether they are indeed made of rosewood. Even if these two chairs look like large doors at first glance, they still need to be looked at carefully, and more importantly.
Be careful, because the better the thing, the more expensive it is, so people naturally have to pay attention to it.
Since Han Peacock was not the protagonist, and Han Peacock had a lot of small-leaf rosewood in his hands, he was not in a hurry to move forward.
However, several members of the Wu family were very excited, especially Wu Dong, who joined in immediately.
Looking at his actions, Han Peacock is indeed knowledgeable. To identify rosewood, you must first observe its color and texture. The surface color of rosewood furniture is noble purple-red or purple-black, with smooth texture and few or almost no patterns.
Texture and pattern, Venus gold wire or fine S-shaped curly cow hair pattern can be seen.
If you use a 60x100x magnifying glass, you can see that the tube hole is filled with golden pterostilbene, like a starry sky with twinkling stars.
Although these two chairs are both works from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen from the appearance that the owners of each generation have preserved them fairly well. Although the surface is already a little off-white, you can still vaguely see the front.
said characteristics.
If Han Kongque used his spiritual sense to perceive it, he would see it more clearly, and Han Kongque also did so, so he knew that it was indeed a good thing without having to step forward to identify it.
Everyone in the Wu family knows these characteristics. At this time, Wu Dong, who was the most arrogant, was already carefully touching the smooth surface of the chair as if he wanted to touch the beautiful girl's little hand. His expression was very intoxicated.
Whenever a beautiful woman arrives, he will be excited.
Seeing this situation, Han Kongque knew that although Wu Dong was young, he was indeed not unlearned and unskilled. Only people who were very obsessed with one aspect would show such expressions, and they were often so obsessed with it.
People of all levels have extraordinary attainments in the things they are obsessed with.
You must know that the velvety curly lines of rosewood furniture and the smooth and delicate feel like skin cannot be replaced by other woods. Therefore, those who know how to know can feel the difference of rosewood. Therefore, at this time, Wu
With several people in the family, we can basically conclude that both chairs are made of red sandalwood.
In this way, whether it is a pear wood table or a rosewood chair, they are both valuable. What's more, if the three pieces of furniture form a set, the value will increase a lot.
At this time, Uncle Li came back with two brocade boxes, one large and one small. He smiled and said to everyone: "How is it? Do you like my set of furniture?"
Everyone looked at each other and realized that the items were very good, but Uncle Li would not sell them separately, which was a bit difficult.
At this time, Uncle Wu coughed and said to Han Peacock with a smile on his face: "What do you think of Xiao Han?"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "We are not interested in furniture and the like, let's discuss it among you!"
"That's it!" Uncle Wu's face relaxed slightly, and he continued: "Yes, this is not a perfect set after all. It would be better if it was a complete set of sea yellow or rosewood."
"Haha, if that's true, not many people can afford it." Mr. Li didn't think so. He often thought of this idea.
As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, the atmosphere among everyone suddenly relaxed. The next step was easy to handle. Harvey was a slut guy, so there was no need to think about it. Although Han Kongque liked it, he said he would not compete.
Therefore, it is no surprise that this set of furniture belongs to several members of the Wu family. Now I don’t know whether it belongs to the elder Wu or the second elder Wu. This is not the ancient times. Even brothers have to settle accounts openly, but Han
Peacock knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this set of furniture should belong to Boss Wu.
Because during the appraisal period, Han Kongque also saw an episode. The two beauties beside him seemed to have the intention to buy. However, they were glared at by Uncle Wu and stopped talking.
After that, the two little beauties became a little angry. Although their expressions were fleeting, Uncle Wu still saw it with his sharp eyes. After giving the two girls a fierce look again, the two girls became honest.
The two women curled their lips at the same time, but finally said nothing, but the pursed lips were really tempting.
When Han Kongque saw this situation, he smiled and his defensiveness instantly relaxed. It seemed that he had been overly concerned just now.
