My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 232 bamboo pen holder
Some city leaders asked, is it a loss to do so?
"It's not a loss. After all, there are some auctions where the price is higher than the estimated price. This way, it's almost smoothed out. In addition, we don't expect this auction to make money. The auction price of the auction show is going to be donated Yes." Fang Xing shook his head slightly.

The people around who heard it were secretly stunned. People with deep pockets and powerful words just spoke differently.

Even if the average price of the hundreds of auction items in the auction show is only [-], the proceeds from this auction will be several million, and they will be donated without blinking an eye.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why netizens and tourists like Fang Xing!
Ahead, the auction continues.

What came next was a bamboo pen holder.

As we all know, the pen holder is one of the treasures of the study.

The pen holder is a special utensil for storing brushes. According to literature records, its materials include gold-plated, jadeite, red sandalwood and ebony. Most of the handed down utensils that we can see now are made of porcelain or bamboo wood.

The earliest records about pen holders can be traced back to the Song Dynasty.However, the period when it really became popular all over the world was in the Ming Dynasty.

"Everyone, what you are seeing now is a pen holder carved from bamboo from the Qing Dynasty. The person who carved it was a well-known bamboo carving master at that time..." The auctioneer is very professional, although this auction Yes, they are all some not-so-popular antiques, but he still didn't muddle through.

The transaction price of ordinary wooden pen holders in the market is about several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and the price of some bamboo and lacquer pen holders in the Qing Dynasty ranges from about 4000 yuan to 1 yuan.Of course, there are also old pen holders whose transaction price exceeds one million yuan, or even tens of millions.

For example, two years ago, a small French auctioneer Bossan-Lefevre auctioned a bamboo pen holder from the Kangxi period. The hammer was hammered at a high price of 5 euros, plus a 6% commission, the transaction price was about 126 million yuan.

This is currently the most expensive piece of bamboo pen holder that has appeared in the auction market, and it has also set a new auction record for bamboo carving works.

To put it bluntly, the price of these pen holders carved from bamboo and wood is greatly affected by the carver.

There are very few bamboo carvings handed down before the Ming Dynasty. First, there is a lack of well-known carvers. Second, some of the utensils do not have the names of the carvers. In addition, the bamboo products themselves are not easy to preserve, and it is difficult to see unearthed objects. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to determine the exact age.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, famous bamboo carving masters emerged in large numbers, and bamboo carving utensils began to change from practical to practical and appreciative. Bamboo pen holders also emerged at this time, and gradually became collectors' beloved objects.

The art of bamboo carving was highly developed in the Qing Dynasty, and bamboo carving masters emerged in endlessly, and the bamboo pen holder was an indispensable thing in the study, which is also the basic reason why there are so many bamboo pen holders in the Qing Dynasty.

The bamboo carving pen holders of the Qing Dynasty inherited the fine traditions of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Wu Zhifan in the early Qing Dynasty inherited the Jiading Sanzhu while highlighting the theme with bas-relief sculptures, especially the method of leaving the blank as the background, which won the charm of the relief sculptures of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"300"

"500"

……

The tourists around couldn't wait for it to start bidding, and the atmosphere on the scene was very strong and enthusiastic.

After all, I have seen many people pick up the leaks, and some people just want to try their luck.

Of course, more people wanted to join in the fun, showing that they had also participated in the auction, and they would have the capital to brag in the future.

In less than 2 minutes, the price reached more than 9000.

At this time, the people who joined in the fun did not dare to make a sound.After all, if you yelled by yourself, if no one followed you, you would have to pay for it yourself.Almost 1 yuan, for many tourists, it will still be a little distressed.

"10000"

"10500"

Bidding became more and more cautious. Finally, the bamboo pen holder from the Qing Dynasty was sold at a price of 11200, and the auctioneer was an old man.

In fact, this old man is not a rookie who knows nothing. He has been in the antique world for some years, so he can be regarded as an amateur!

If it was a Ming Dynasty bamboo carving pen holder, he would have taken it without hesitation at a price of [-] to [-] yuan.

Because there were very few artifacts handed down from generation to generation in the Ming Dynasty, it is conceivable that the price was high. Even the works of ordinary craftsmen cost more than [-] yuan, while there were more artifacts handed down from generation to generation in the Qing Dynasty. It's a lot worse.

Therefore, he is actually gambling now.

After all, although he could see the appearance of those auction items, he could not appraise them carefully, and it was difficult to estimate the value.

"Congratulations to the old gentleman here, who won our Qing Dynasty bamboo carving pen holder at a price of 11200. This pen holder, the appraiser of our auction house gave an estimate of 8 yuan, which is also the highest estimate in this auction. .”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, various voices of regret emerged from the scene.

Damn!

All of a sudden earned [-] to [-]!

Just now, if I was a little more daring, it was equivalent to my income for more than half a year, or even a year.

Unfortunately, many things are not if.

"This... made me want to bid." A city leader couldn't help but smiled wryly.

No wonder, there are so many tourists participating in the auction show held here, and it's like chicken blood.To tell the truth, if they didn't care about their status, they would really follow suit and shout the price a few times.

If this kind of activity is held every day, there is no need for other tourism resources, and I believe it will attract a lot of people.

A bamboo pen holder completely pushed the auction show to a climax.

Everyone was very satisfied with the information revealed by the auctioneer. From what they said just now, they knew that the bamboo pen holder with the highest value in this auction was lower than 8 yuan.

This also avoids the risk of calling high prices.

In fact, when the bidding exceeds [-], most tourists have already withdrawn from the bidding.If it's only a few thousand yuan, everyone will try their luck, even if they don't make a profit, they won't lose much.

"It's very good. It can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of tourists, attract tourists, but also do charity. It can serve multiple purposes." The deputy mayor commented.

To put it bluntly, this is a charity auction.The government naturally agrees with this.

Fang Xing accompanied everyone. After watching a few auctions, he continued to look elsewhere.Along the way, the deputy mayor and Director Huang had many questions.

"Did the mayor tell you? Our provincial road renovation project will start after the National Day." The deputy mayor said suddenly.

The mayor immediately said: "I haven't had time to announce the news to everyone. I've been really busy these two days."

Director Huang and other leaders thought about the situation in Yunwu Village, and did not blame the town's leadership.Looking at the thick bags under the eyes of the town government officials who accompanied them, one can tell that they really haven't had a good rest recently and have a heavy workload.

"That's a good relationship!" Fang Xing was overjoyed.
