My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 323 You Can’t Judge People by Their Appearances, Even Antiques

"This is a sachet." Fang Xing said to Yuanyuan.

"Sachet?"

Yuanyuan felt that she had learned a lot.

Everyone is familiar with sachets. They existed in ancient times. Both men and women can wear a sachet.At this time, some people may say, were men in ancient times also so effeminate?And with a sachet, isn't that the same as men spraying perfume now?
In fact, the ancient sachets were used to refresh the mind, and they were also made of spices. Because the fragrance is suitable for many people, it was gradually changed to pure spices.

"I thought that sachets were made of cloth. They are made of jade, but there are also."

"Haha! There are many types of sachets, including jade carvings, gold silk, silver silk, emerald inlays, and silk embroidery." Fang Xing couldn't help laughing.

In fact, not only the type of texture, but also the shape.

Generally, it is made into round, square, oval, Japanese-cornered, gourd-shaped, pomegranate-shaped, peach-shaped, waist-shaped, square-shaped, etc. The capsules are mostly two pieces that fit together and are hollowed out in the middle, and some are hollowed out, but they are all It must be perforated for ventilation.

Like the one in front of you, the double-fish-style sachet is engraved with white jade. The jade used is the best Hetian white jade. The carving is first-class, and the middle is hollowed out for spices.

"There are also tassels hanging below, which are also treasures." Fang Xing said to her.

Tassels, also known as tassels, are drooping, tassel-like ornaments made of colorful feathers or velvet. They are often hung on the four corners of curtains in tents or on the handles of jade pendants.There is a saying that "Taoism worships purple, Buddhism advocates turmeric, talented scholars are fragrant, red and beautiful women are green", tassels, rippling with the wind, convey a quaint and graceful charm.

People have seen this kind of thing a lot, like the sword in TV dramas, with sword tassels hanging on it, which is also a kind of tassel.

Fang Xing discovered that the two of them chose antiques based on their looks, and picked whatever was beautiful.

Xia Yu also asked for a gold pendant inlaid with a hollow dragon pattern, a pocket watch with enamel craftsmanship, a snuff bottle with inner murals, and a private seal of Prince Yi Yinxiangtian Huangshi.

There is nothing to say about the gold pendant inlaid with hollow dragon patterns. The material is mainly gold, but with the addition of carving and other craftsmanship, it looks beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and very high-grade.However, this thing is the cheapest, about 70.

The pocket watch with enamel color technology is an object of the Qianlong period. The workmanship is very exquisite. The edge of the pocket watch is also inlaid with fine gemstones. Under the light, the whole watch is shining.

Everyone is familiar with the snuff bottle. The one Xia Yu chose was a crystal snuff bottle with a portrait of Shousun inside in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"This snuff bottle has been auctioned before for 170 million Hong Kong dollars." Fang Xing told him.

So, don't underestimate this small snuff bottle.

Previously, at Bonhams Art Auction on Hong Kong Island, a Qing Qianlong glass painting enamel snuff bottle for Western ladies sold for HK$2530 million, setting a new world record for Chinese snuff bottle auctions and becoming the most expensive snuff bottle in the world.

As for the last private seal of Prince Yi Yinxiangtian Huangshi, it is not simple.

Prince Yi Yinxiang is the No.13 son of Kangxi. In his later years, Kangxi participated in the battle for succession and was the main supporter of Prince Yong Yinzhen.After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he was conferred the title of prince. He was the first prince in the Qing Dynasty to be conferred the title of emperor for non-military exploits, and he made great contributions to the stability of the Yongzheng dynasty.

With so many princes in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Yi Yinxiang will definitely be ranked in the top ten.

His private seal will naturally not be cheap.

In addition, Tianhuangshi itself is a gem-grade material, and the extraordinary carving work means that this private seal of Prince Yi Yinxiang Tianhuangshi is by no means ordinary.

"In general, the private seal of Prince Yi Yinxiangtian Huangshi is worth about 150 million. I'm not sure how much room for appreciation there will be in the future."

Xia Yu did some calculations, and the sum of these five items was not much worse than the one product he endorsed.

For powerful actors like them, the endorsement fee is actually not as exaggerated as those traffic stars. If they are lucky, they may have tens of millions.But it is not a product of a large company, it may be several million.

The reason why he agreed to be a pictographic ambassador was mainly because he wanted to get closer to Fang Xing, and the cost was not the first priority.

As for Yuanyuan, in addition to the hibiscus stone moonlight cup and sachet just now, she also took a string of eighteen sons, a jade carving of two dragons playing with pearls, and a purple sand peach inkstone drop.

These things are all small, exquisite, and high-value antiques.

The most valuable one is undoubtedly the purple sand peach-shaped ink drop, the ink drop is made of fresh peach, the peach branch is the handle, the peach leaf is draped on the peach, the cover is hidden in the leaf, and the cover is a peach blossom.This utensil is realistic in shape and ingenious in design. It is a fine product among the purple sand elephant utensils in the Yongzheng Dynasty of Qing Dynasty.

"This one is worth about 200 million. The others are just average." Fang Xing said.

Like the 50-zi bracelet, it is estimated to be only [-] million.

However, even if Fang Xing said so, he still couldn't hide Yuanyuan's joy.These are all carefully selected by her, and she can't completely depend on the price to eat.

After speaking, Fang Xing took out a red round box from the inside, with a diameter a little longer than the palm of your hand, about 25 cm, with peony flower patterns on the surface.

"This bunch of things, it is the most valuable." Fang Xing said with a smile.

Uh!
Both Xia Yu and Yuanyuan looked over. They must have noticed this thing, but they ignored it. It felt like a box, probably of little value, and it wasn't too pretty, at least from their aesthetic point of view. thing.

"Really? Do you have any explanation?" Xia Yu asked.

"Brother Xia must have heard of this craft, right? To put it bluntly, it's lacquerware."

Tihong, also known as carved red lacquer, is a kind of Chinese lacquerware craft. This technique matured in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The method often uses wood ash and metal as the carcass, and paints red paint layer by layer on the carcass, ranging from eighty or ninety layers to as many as one or two hundred layers, to a considerable thickness. When it is half dry, draw a drawing, and then carve the pattern .

"It is from the Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated to be worth about 800 million."

The two were dumbfounded. They picked a bunch, but which box is not as good as it?this……

"A person can't be judged by his appearance, and antiques are the same! Why do you only pick the good-looking ones to start with?"

Like Ru Kiln, in fact, according to the aesthetics of many people, it is far less beautiful than ordinary pastel porcelain.However, the auction price of Ru Kiln porcelain is tens of millions, which makes people feel unattainable.

Seeing the expressions of the two big stars, Xu Qing instantly burst into laughter.

Excuse me!I can't bear it!

"Mistake!" Xia Yu sighed.

In fact, many people would be like them.After all, antiques are actually works of art in the final analysis. Since they are works of art, they must pay attention to art. Generally speaking, the more beautiful they are, the more artistic they are.

There's nothing wrong with this logic.

But the factors affecting the value of Chinese antiques are not limited to artistry.

"Forget it, sometimes you have to have something in your life, and you can't force it all the time! Anyway, I choose what I like, so that's fine!" Yuanyuan said with a look away.

"Sister Yuanyuan's mentality is okay, play collection! Sometimes I just play what I like, and it's not good to care too much."

Afterwards, everyone chatted about the pictographic ambassador, how to operate it, and so on.Xia Yu and the others suggested that they make a short film, which can be regarded as a tourism promotional film for Yunwu Village.

"It can be." Fang Xing nodded.
