Chapter 664: Melon-style Qin
…
"Xiaodong, come here quickly, Old Ace has a lot of good things here!"
After hearing Fang Zhonghua's words, and then sweeping away the relic's original light, and seeing that there was nothing with strong aura anymore, Liu Dong returned to the counter with the Liangzhu jade cong in his hand.∑
At this time, there was already a violin, two oil paintings, and three pieces of porcelain on the originally large oak counter! It was obvious that these things were taken down by Old Ace just now.
Liu Dong put the jade cong on the table and first picked up the violin next to it, because among all the six antiques, it had the strongest aura!
After looking at the jade cong in Liu Dong's hand, Old Ace looked away. This weird thing had been in his shop for a long time. Its inconspicuous appearance made Old Ace judge that it was not a precious thing.
, so when Liu Dong took it, he had no intention of exploring it.
"Liu, these are rare good things in my store. I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Old Ace smiled when he saw Liu Dong picking up the violin.
"Melon-style violin!" Liu Dong said after looking at the violin over and over again.
After hearing his words, Old Ace couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Liu Dong, a Chinese, could actually recognize the "melon", which is known as one of the double walls in the classical violin world!
Of course, apart from Liu Dong’s relic Yuanguang, the most important thing that can recognize the melon-style harp is that Liu Dong got a top-notch melon-style harp ‘Windsor’ in his villa in Badaguan, Qingdao a year ago!
Since getting this Si-style Qin, Liu Dong has had a deep understanding of the Gua-style Qin, which is almost as famous as the Si-style Qin.
So after seeing that the lower part of the violin body is narrow, the sound hole is long and unique, the headstock is large and majestic, the upper and middle parts of the body are wider, and the curvature of the middle waist is rounder but not deep.
, and identified it.
"Mr. Ace, do you mind if I try the timbre?" Although Liu Dong is not proficient in the violin. But after getting the 'Windsor' number, he also briefly learned some violin playing, and now he has surpassed Liu Dong in terms of timbre.
Liu Dong also felt itchy when playing the melon-style piano.
"Haha, of course!" Although he said this, there was still a trace of reluctance on Old Ace's face.
At first, Liu Dong didn't immediately understand the meaning, but when Liu Dong took out the bow from the piano case and played the melon-style piano in his hand, he immediately frowned.
As a melon-style violin that is comparable to the Sri Lankan violin in the classical violin world, except that the appearance of the violin is slightly inferior to the Sri Lankan-style violin, the vibration of the piano board is strong and powerful. The pronunciation is deep and loud, but now the timbre of the melon-style violin in Liu Dong's hands is
There is a hint of hoarseness in it!
This performance instantly lowered the value of this melon.
At this time, Liu Dong also understood why Old Ace was helpless. Just like porcelain, a complete Qing Dynasty official kiln from the third generation can easily be sold for millions, but a damaged one has not been repaired.
No matter how exquisite it is from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, its value is less than one-tenth of its original value.
Out of curiosity, Liu Dong used the relic Yuanguang to scan the area and instantly found out the reason for the inaccurate tone of the melon.
"I see, I didn't expect that buying a piano would bring such an unexpected gain!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
"Mr. Ace, how much does this melon-style piano cost?"
"400,000 Dutch guilders!" Ace said quickly.
400,000 Dutch guilders is equivalent to approximately 200,000 euros, which is quite the same value as this melon-style instrument with inaccurate tone! Otherwise, the value of this famous instrument made by Guarneri would probably be ten times higher!
"I want it!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
"Xiaodong, if you don't see the official kiln porcelain from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, why are you buying a violin?" Fang Zhonghua said in surprise, noticing what Liu Dong just said.
"Haha, isn't this for Brother Fang to choose first?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"You're being polite, but these official kilns from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty are not cheap. I only need one piece! You can see the rest!" Fang Zhonghua said and took out a Qianlong pastel broken branch flower holder about 25 centimeters high.
After finishing the pot, he stopped doing anything.
The remaining two pieces of porcelain are a Kangxi blue and white dragon plate with a diameter of 40 cm, and a Jiaqing official kiln pastel plum vase with flowers and branches, which is 45 cm high. They are both rare fine products from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty in China. However,
What surprised Liu Dong was that they appeared together in an ordinary antique shop abroad. No wonder colleagues in the antique industry said that the truly high-quality Chinese porcelains are all abroad!
Finally, Liu Dong focused his attention on the remaining two oil paintings. The two oil paintings were well framed, but they were not large in size. The largest one was slightly smaller than a 4-inch paper, and the remaining one was the same size as an A3 paper.
The difference seems to be.
However, in comparison, the aura on the relatively smaller oil painting on canvas is more intense than the former.
"This "Madame de Horne" is a painting by Eugène Delacroix. It is my most proud treasure. If I had not met Fang, I would not have taken it out!"
Liu Dong didn't care for the moment how true Old Ace's words were, but there was no doubt that this Delacroix painting was authentic.
Moreover, Liu Dong also knows a lot about this famous French painter and a typical representative of the romantic school. Among other things, his painting "Liberty Leading the People" is so famous that it is included in almost all middle school history textbooks in China.
Everyone can see this master's painting!
"Old Ace, is this really a painting by Delacroix?" Fang Zhonghua couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I collected this with great effort!" Old Ace said proudly.
Hearing this, Fang Zhonghua took the painting in his hand and looked at it for a few times, and couldn't help but said: "It can't be fake, right?"
"Fart, in my old Ace's opinion, how can you buy a fake! And although Delacroix has made extraordinary achievements, he was also a prolific painter. He left more than a thousand oil paintings after his death. I have one in my hand.
Is this picture strange?" Old Ace puffed his beard and stared at Fang Zhonghua.
"Then why don't you put it up for auction?" Because the relationship between the two parties was good, Fang Zhonghua didn't have any scruples about reading between the lines.
Of course, this is also related to the habits of foreigners. After all, here it is not like talking in China where you have to go around a few times and express your meaning in a roundabout way.
"You don't understand anything when you hear this!" After pouting at Fang Zhonghua, Old Ace continued, "You have to pay a handling fee to go to the auction, and if you successfully auction it, you will also be charged a large commission by the other party.
In addition, although my painting is a Delacroix painting, it is not large in size and the transaction price will not be too high. Based on this calculation, I will obviously make more money from the private transaction than from the auction!"
At the end of his speech, Old Ace couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face.
"Didn't you expect that this old guy like you is quite cunning?" Fang Zhonghua said in surprise.
"Wrong, Fang, this is wisdom!"
Looking at the old man in front of him who was wagging his finger at him with a proud look on his face, Fang Zhonghua swallowed!
"Then whose work is this landscape painting? It couldn't be Rembrandt, right?" Fang Zhonghua said.
But what surprised him was that Old Ace actually showed hesitation on his face this time, "I'm not sure who the author of this painting is, but please believe me, the person who can draw it is very skilled, maybe not
No less than Rembrandt!”
Liu Dong glanced at Old Ace in surprise. Liu Dong did not expect that the other person had such a brilliant vision. The achievements of the author of this painting were not much inferior to Rembrandt's.
Because he is Paul Cezanne, a famous French painter and the leader of post-Impressionism. He has been praised as the "Father of New Art" since the end of the 19th century. As a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters call him the "Father of Modern Art"
, "the father of modeling" or "the father of modern painting".
It's just that in this painting, Cézanne did not reflect his emphasis on color and pursuit of three-dimensionality. Instead, he tried Rembrandt's strong expressive power in light.
This kind of attempt is very common among painters. After all, "stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade" is not only popular in China.
However, this also made Old Ace appear to be in a dilemma. Although his ability to identify oil paintings was indeed extraordinary, he was still far behind the top masters. Therefore, even if he knew that the author of this painting was extraordinary, he could not identify its origin.
Source.
But this would be cheaper for Liu Dong.
"Mr. Ace, I want this melon piano, these two pieces of porcelain, two oil paintings, and this piece of jade. Can you give me a price?" Liu Dong said.
"You want them all?"
Old Ace was stunned. Originally, he thought it would be good if Liu Dong could choose at most two of them and buy them, but he didn't expect that there would be a clearance deal in the end.
"Old Ace, I've told you a long time ago that my brother is a rich man with assets of more than 1 billion euros. It's easy to buy something like this from you!" Fang Zhonghua put his arm around Liu Dong's shoulders and showed off a little.
Seeing this, a look of helplessness flashed across Liu Dong's brows. How could this friend of his, who was in his thirties, even forget the rules of the antique shop? This time he revealed his secrets, and he would not be able to counter-offer later.
Got it!
"Fang, are you joking again? How is this possible?" Old Ace said with an expression on his face as if he was lying.
Also, Liu Dong is only in his early twenties, so it is difficult for people to equate him with a billionaire.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Fang Zhonghua said angrily.
Hearing this, Old Ace nodded subconsciously, but when he looked at Liu Dong, he was even more surprised!
"Mr. Ace, should we make a deal?" At this point, Liu Dong didn't say anything more. As long as he didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, your store would be more expensive. Who makes these things extremely valuable?
"Oh, oh, let me do the math, let me do the math!" Old Ace reacted and quickly took the calculator next to him.
