Chapter 1661: Boss Huang’s plan
But maybe most people don't know what this bronze statue is used for.
Lin Ran came out of the ancient tomb and knew clearly that this was the base of the longevity lamp.
The bronze statue is dragging a small tray in its hand, and there is a copper fiber in the tray.
It was used to place candles, but now it was empty, without anything, so it looked a little weird.
After the judges looked at the bronze statue, they did not dare to give scores without authorization.
One of the judges asked cautiously: "Boss Huang, what era is this statue from?"
Boss Huang proudly told him: "It's from the Tang Dynasty."
Bronze candlestick from the Tang Dynasty!
Although it comes from an ancient tomb, this kind of thing is really rare.
Mr. Zhu who was on the side couldn't help but take a second look, his eyes full of passion.
For any antique lover, bronzes from the Tang Dynasty are undoubtedly exciting.
It has a history of more than 1000 years, and it is extremely rare for a bronze candlestick to survive to this day.
This thing is different from gilding and jewelry. Bronze, as an ordinary metal, is particularly easy to oxidize.
And it is not as solid as gold. It is prone to damage in the torrent of history.
Therefore, most of the unearthed bronzes will be more or less incomplete.
The bronze candlestick in front of me is very well preserved.
Except for some traces of age, some rust and patina, the whole thing is complete.
After some discussion, the judges naturally gave a very high evaluation.
"We believe that the reserve price for this set of bronze candlesticks is 5000 yuan!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Many people expressed dissatisfaction because the gilt-gilt Bodhisattva statue that Mr. Chen brought was also a work from the Ming Dynasty, and both were valued at more than 1 yuan.
In the Tang Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty, the better-preserved bronze candlesticks were only half the price.
They consider this a form of discrimination.
However, the judges seem to have become accustomed to this kind of criticism.
A representative was sent to the stage and explained to the audience.
"Nuwa's bronze candlestick does represent the top level of bronze manufacturing technology in the Tang Dynasty. It is more than 1200 years old. It can be preserved so well. It is indeed extremely welded and has high research value."
"However, it is different from the Bodhisattva statue just now. This bronze candlestick is actually a bright object."
"The so-called bright objects are the items buried with the tomb owner in ancient tombs."
"Because it was obtained from an ancient tomb, the collection value naturally needs to be discounted."
The judges briefly introduced the situation.
The audience was taken aback.
Antiques do have some tricks. For example, the circulation of cultural relics stolen from ancient tombs in the market is not only restricted by law, but also because they are accompanied by the tomb owners, they are easily underestimated in terms of price.
After all, in China, life and death are important matters.
Objects belonging to the deceased are often considered ominous, and few major clients are willing to keep them in their homes.
As the saying goes, there is a price but no market.
However, Boss Huang is naturally dissatisfied with this rating.
He glanced at the three judges, with a hint of chill in his eyes.
"You guys are eating the inside out." Boss Huang scolded these pig teammates in his heart.
Today it is no longer about money, but about the glory of their market.
These guys didn't understand the formality at all and actually gave him such a low price.
Not being too direct, Boss Huang just mentioned tactfully: "As you can see clearly, this is a bronze candlestick from the Tang Dynasty, and it is in such good condition. Besides, the so-called Ming ware is no longer 20 years ago. Who cares now? I wonder if any of the antiques in your home have passed through dead hands?"
Boss Huang is a good talker and extremely good at sophistry.
After what he said, the audience felt that it seemed to make sense.
Even if there are dishes left over from the Qing Dynasty at home, it is inevitable that some ancestors have used them. If they don't keep them at home and still use them, there is nothing special about them.
Besides, not all the dead are evil spirits.
Like this bronze candlestick, it has a beautifully crafted appearance and is obviously a burial object of high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty.
Their careers are as upright as their lives, and their personal belongings not only do not bring disaster, but also have the effect of protecting peace.
It is said that after Boss Huang's speech, the audience started talking one after another, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the score.
Boss Huang is very satisfied with the result.
Baby, looking at your age, you are only in your early 20s. Before you were born, I already participated in the treasure fighting meeting, and I still can't cure you.
The judges also need to refer to the opinions of the audience and do not dare to draw conclusions without authorization.
Especially now that the opinions of the audience were too different, they did not dare to make their own claims, so they looked at Mr. Zhu next to them for help.
Mr. Zhu thought for a moment, then came to the stage and carefully inspected the bronze candlestick.
Then, he showed a meaningful smile.
“There are no issues with the estimates given by the three judges.”
As soon as this statement came out, the audience once again caused a storm.
"Mr. Zhu, you are highly respected, can you give a suitable reason?"
The atmosphere in the venue has been aroused. Even though Mr. Zhu has a high reputation among the people, he cannot give a suitable reason and it is difficult to convince the public at this time.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu just smiled and said: "Nuwa's bronze candlestick is indeed made of top quality. At the bottom of the candlestick, there is the year number of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that it is genuine."
Boss Huang was even more proud when he heard this.
You must know that this bronze candlestick was once the champion of the Treasure Fighting Club. He spent a lot of effort to get it and make it his own collection.
Normally I would not be willing to show it to others, so I planned to keep it, especially since I realized that the economy is developing rapidly now, and there is a lot of room for value-added if antiques are left in your hands.
As the saying goes, gold in troubled times is antique in prosperous times.
Antiques will only be valuable in prosperous times. In times of war, antiques are worth less than a bag of rice.
That is to say, he is optimistic about the expected increase in the value of the antique, so he will spend a lot of money to buy it.
It has also opened a series of related stores such as auction houses and antique shops, and attaches great importance to the market.
In his opinion, if the economy continues to develop at this speed, it will definitely not be a problem for Nuwa's bronze candlestick to sell for millions in ten years. According to the current valuation, it will start at at least [-]. How can he bear their humiliation? .
I thought Mr. Zhu was on his side, but unexpectedly he changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that this candlestick is so well preserved."
Most people, including Boss Huang, were a little confused.
Because it is so well preserved, the price is very low. What is the reason for this?
However, knowledgeable people have already heard the clues.
