The other thing is to seal the porcelain for two or three days so that the adhesive potion can be more natural, so that it will really look like an original object without any damage.
After lunch, Mr. Lu took Qiao Meng and others into his secret collection room. There were a dazzling array of precious collections stored here, many of which were surprising. It could be said that they were swimming in treasures.
in the ocean.
After looking around briefly, Qiao Meng was surprised and said: "I didn't expect the old man to be such a wealthy collector. I think it would be no problem to use it as an exhibition hall on its own."
Mr. Lu was also very happy when he heard Qiao Meng's praise, "Haha, I'm not as good as you said. These collections are just my favorites, and some of them were bought back without even checking whether they were genuine or not. If
Seriously, it looks like you should be laughed at.”
Qiao Meng felt strange when he heard what he said, "Senior Lu's collection should be quite old, and he must know quite a few treasure appraisers. Why don't you ask someone to appraise it?"
"I don't have any other big problems. I'm just afraid of being remembered. If I always promote these good things to others, it won't be safe to live in this family." Mr. Lu shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Qiao Meng felt that the relationship between his master and Mr. Lu was really good. They had just met and were willing to reveal their true identity. It was unlikely to be for any other reason than absolute trust.
If you want Qiao Meng to identify them one by one, that's not the case. You can still ask for these three or two pieces. No one can have the nerve to directly tell others that they want to help with the identification of hundreds or thousands of pieces. Normal people
You have to see the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to fully appreciate it.
Next, Qiao Meng began to look for the treasures that he was interested in. There were thousands of them here. Even if some of them were not interesting, it was impossible not to find all that were interesting. There were still quite a lot of exquisite ones.
Take the black-glazed partridge-spotted sunflower-style bowl from the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty that Qiao Meng is looking at now. It is an extremely rare collection.
In the industry, this bowl can be called the "flying fairy from the sky". When Qiao Meng touched it with his hands, he felt as if he was in a state of ecstasy.
Seeing countless meteors flying towards you is an extremely suffocating spiritual manifestation.
It is hard to imagine that this kind of feeling could come from such an abstract ceramic glaze color thousands of years ago. Its strong feeling even affects people's spirits. This is a strong feeling that transcends time and space.
The diameter of this bowl is 19cm, and it looks like a bamboo hat when viewed upside down. This shape is very rare, and it is highly praised by the court. According to the value of classical art, the estimated value of this porcelain bowl is more than 30 million.
Qiao Meng praised him while explaining what he had learned, which made Mr. Lu look at it with admiration again. In fact, he didn't remember when he got this collection, but he vaguely knew that it should be one of the things he had taken a liking to at the beginning.
I bought it because of the wonderful glaze.
Next, Qiao Meng walked around and saw several good things, but the things that could really touch his heart hadn't appeared yet. They were basically treasures of the same level. How did his eyes and mind feel after seeing so many high-end products?
As he becomes more and more picky, I am afraid that not even a treasure worth hundreds of millions will be able to catch his eye.
After looking at it, I actually identified it as a super-A product. Just like what the old man said, I don’t know whether it is true or false.
This is a fine imitation of jade carving. On the surface, it looks like the texture of the jade is very good, but in fact, it is just shoddy. It is not a high-quality Hetian jade at all, but a high-quality Qinghai jade.
At this point, I have to say that the similarities between the two types of jade are really only a little different. It is impossible for a non-expert to spot the difference.
In addition to this one, he also found many finely imitated objects, such as the golden nanmu carvings, which were actually made of ordinary mahogany and were covered with paste to confuse others.
However, it is impossible to say that Mr. Lu has no real skills. Qiao Meng saw that there are no less than two or three hundred treasures, but the manager only found about ten fakes. In comparison, the proportion is still very small. This is quite impressive.
.
The antique industry is actually similar to gambling on stones, and it is even easier to be cheated than gambling on stones. At least whether there is something in the wool is fixed, and it will not be because you guess that there is something in it, nor because you think there is nothing in it.
What was there will disappear.
But antiques are different. Many people can make something disappear and something not exist. They often make money by doing this. Those who can ensure that the authenticity rate is over 60% are very powerful.
What's more, now this proportion is at least 90%.
Of course, people like Qiao Meng cannot be counted among them. With the ability to identify treasures, his accuracy can only be 100%, unless one day he wants to collect fakes.
After watching this journey, Qiao Meng felt a little disappointed because he had not seen a treasure that could really make him feel like he was staring at stars for some time.
But just when he thought this way, the treasure he was expecting would appear immediately.
A very exquisite blue and white porcelain appeared directly in front of him. He quickly stopped and touched the porcelain with his hands, feeling the lubrication of its glaze, and his treasure appraisal ability began to identify relevant information.
"Qing Qianlong blue and white dragon, phoenix, cloud and bat pattern dove-eared square teapot."
This is the name of this treasure. This is the first time he has seen such an exquisite pot, and the size is not small. The price quoted by the treasure appraisal ability is 45 million, although it is not a sky-high price, but
It is very high in this field.
According to the Qing Palace archives, Emperor Qianlong ordered people to refer to ancient books and imitate ancient methods for firing. Whether it is the shape of the vessel or the decoration, this square pot has the shadow of the Bronze Age. It is especially obvious that it is closely related to the Zhou Dynasty.
Chao's approach is very similar.
The ears are dragon heads, and the dragon horns are in a spiral state, which reflects the royal style and represents the nobility and majesty of the royal family.
Qiao Meng really likes this collection. Its unique charm and the particularity it displays can't help but impress people.
Now he has almost forgotten the pain caused by the loss of the Seven-Star Sword, because the treasure here gives him new attention to think about this matter. Perhaps it is because he knows that he needs such healing that God arranged this.
It was a trip, and he had to sincerely thank his master.
Then he saw an ancient painting hanging on one wall, but there was nothing around it. Although it looked a little lonely, Qiao Meng thought that this might be the loneliness that belongs to the king. The works that stand at the top must accept this kind of loneliness.
an environment.
Qiao Meng stroked the surface of the painting and praised it: "What a good painting."
This is "Pictures of Ancient Emperors" by Yan Liben, a master of the Tang Dynasty. It is ink and color on silk, with a length of 51.3cm and a length of 531cm. It depicts the images of thirteen emperors from the Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty.
The emperors include: Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling, Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi, Wu Lord Sun Quan, Shu Lord Liu Bei, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, Chen Wen Emperor Chen Quan, Chen Fei Emperor Chen Bozong, Chen Xuan Emperor Chen Xu,
Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
This picture of emperors is not only an important theme in ancient paintings, but also allows future generations to clearly see what kind of examples their ancestors were.
Because of this, they are highly valued by rulers. Many emperors hope that they can be seen as a sage rather than a villain in their portraits.
When expressing the image of the emperor, it is often portrayed through facial expressions. Different characters have different temperaments and personalities, and they are all portrayed with very consistent expressions.
This kind of painting is very rich, which makes people read it tirelessly and leave them wanting more.
In terms of the drawing form of this scroll, the picture does not rely on the background, and the movements of the characters are relatively simple. However, it is precisely in this way that it can represent a limitation of that era and give people hope that it can still develop.
At least Qiao Meng likes this painting very much now, but it's a pity that it already has a current owner. If it appeared on the market and he discovered it first, he would definitely spare no effort to get it.
Nowadays, Qiao Meng's love for treasures is getting deeper and deeper. He didn't want to just aim at making money at the beginning. He only had a rough understanding of these antiques and didn't want to get in touch with them anymore. Now that he has truly entered the industry, he knows what it means to be familiar with them.
I can't help myself, I can't help myself.
"My dear nephew, do you like this painting?"
Mr. Lu watched Qiao Meng staring at the Emperor Tu Lao for a long time without taking his eyes away from it. This focused look seemed to send him into the painting.
"To be honest, senior, I really like this painting. The aura of the emperors of the past dynasties is fully displayed in the ink and paper." Qiao Meng said with deep emotion.
"Okay, I'll show it all on the ink paper. Since you like this painting so much, I'll give it to you as a meeting gift." Mr. Lu said to Qiao Meng very generously.
"Uh, no, no, no, how dare I ask you for a painting? You should keep it. If I want to see it, I can come here to see you. Maybe I will become a part of the emperor's painting in the future, haha." Qiao.
These two chuckles may seem a little childish, but they are filled with unquestionable determination.
Mr. Lu could tell from the look in Qiao Meng's eyes that it was not impossible that he would become an extraordinary person and one day transform into a dragon and ascend.
"Okay, since you are so insistent, I won't force you to do anything difficult. In this way, you can come and accompany me as an old man when you have time." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
"Of course, we will definitely come here often when we have time. If you want to relax, you can come and sit with me and the master, as long as you don't mind." Qiao Meng joked.
Mr. Lu nodded in agreement, and then they visited inside for more than an hour before coming out.
She was very satisfied with this day's tour and viewing of Qiao Meng. Ge Yuling was even more happy for him when she saw that Qiao Meng's mood had finally improved. In fact, this was what Tian Lao and Lu Lao had agreed upon to provide Qiao Meng with a cure.
