Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 148 A Coffin

Li Dingan remained calm: "As long as the thing is real, the price is easy to negotiate!"

Section Chief Xu's eyes lit up immediately: "That's a good relationship... I just took an afternoon off, and I can take Boss Li to see it... It's not far away, right at home!"

Li Dingan nodded: "That's fine."

Seeing this, Section Chief Xu called Boss Zhang aside again, presumably to pay a commission.

Zheng Wanjiu glanced at it, then moved closer to Li Ding'an, furtively: "Mr. Li, is there still something good?"

"Maybe... Anyway, the chances are not small!"

Because no matter in the contract or on the list, there are the three things Chief Xu said just now, and the one he is holding in his arms, so the probability is really quite high.

It just feels... so easy.

Just like this Mohura, it can be kept until now, and it can still be picked up by myself. It can no longer be explained by "luck"... You know, the ancestor of Section Chief Xu was a famous collector in history books. Didn't you tell your descendants about the things?
Of course, there is a specialization in the art industry. Maybe these two are only obsessed with ancient books and education, and have little research on gold and silver ritual vessels. It is also possible that they cannot recognize the rice pattern.

But as a middleman, the probability of not being able to recognize it is infinitely close to zero: this person specializes in this, and he is a recognized master in the collection field in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, especially in gold, stone, silver, copper and ritual vessels. He is a super figure, and almost everything in his collection is a national treasure.

Therefore, it is incredible that this one can be missed...

After thinking about it, the two of them finished talking, and Boss Zhang simply closed the store, saying that he wanted to follow to gain knowledge.

Then four people and two cars drove for about half an hour and entered a high-end residential area by the Qiantang River.

The house is quite big, at least two hundred square meters, and only Section Chief Xu's lover lives in the house.After a brief greeting, Section Chief Xu led them to the study.

Good guy, a safe that is as tall as a person?

This is the second time I saw something like this, the last time was at Su Fubi's auction in Shanghai.

I guess it is very important, first use the key to open it, then enter the password, and finally press the fingerprint... After several minutes, Section Chief Xu opened the cabinet door and made a gesture of please
Li Ding'an opened his eyes wide and glanced, but after just a few glances, his heart couldn't stop sinking.

Section Chief Xu didn't lie, it was indeed a copper cart, a silver box, and a gilt box, all of which were quite large.

The problem is, it's a bit different from what he imagined.

Take the carriage for example. Section Chief Xu said it was a bronze carriage, but Li Ding'an thought it was the bronze carriage unearthed in Xi'an.Before he came here, he had imagined that, not to mention the jade ren, the emperor's six ren, at least the prince or prince's four golden ren or elephant ren.

But the car in front of me, let alone a horse, doesn't even have a wheel, it's just a walking chariot.

Of course, there were also walking chariots in the Song Dynasty, which was also one of the emperor's vehicles.But the thing in the safe is too crudely made, and it's still completely different:

For example, the four-legged, tiger-clawed chi head was only found on the emperor's chariot after Qianlong.Another example is Luanling (a bell held in the mouth of a phoenix) and Jianzhan (a flagpole with a classic handle). These two are only found on the Xiangren (four-wheeled carriage) of the princes of the Song Dynasty, and cannot appear on the walking chariot.

To put it bluntly, this is an imitation, and the imitation is nondescript, and the time will not exceed Qianlong at the earliest.Think about it again: nine times out of ten, after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, someone imitated it according to ancient books and rumors to fool laymen.

Sure enough, people nowadays are playing leftovers from their ancestors...

He sighed and turned to look at the second item.

This is a silver box, not very big, only thirty centimeters vertically and ten centimeters thick, it is just a flat box.I don't know what to pretend, but most of the four sides are carved with hammer and chisel, which looks quite bright and fancy.

But after taking a look, he didn't want to talk anymore.

There are too many flower prints, and they are too complicated. I can't wait to beat all the auspicious patterns I can think of. In addition, there are a few strands of gold-inlaid patterns on the box cover, using the screw technology that only existed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. .

The workmanship is only average, so even if it is an old object, it is something from a small workshop.In short, not much value.

And looking at the style, it is very likely that it is from the same batch as the walking chariot.So, it's a coincidence...

I just don't know what to do with the rest.

It is also a box, but it is relatively large, about [-] centimeters long, [-] centimeters wide, and [-] centimeters high.It is made of copper as a whole, with a straight wall and arched cover, with patterns on five sides.

There is also a lock on the front, which is probably used to hold gold and silver treasures.The lid of the box was opened, and the inside of the box was covered with copper rust. After trying it, it was quite heavy, about eighty or ninety catties.

Similar to the silver box, the patterns and decorations are quite mixed: on the box cover is a gilt lotus flower, on the front is a chiseled picture of a man lying on his side, and on the back is an old man with a long beard.

On the left is a lion, and on the right is a general in armor.

There are peach leaf patterns and cloud and thunder patterns on the bottom and all around. The craftsmanship is quite good, at least the patterns are relatively neat, and the characters are more vivid.

It is uncertain whether it is from the Song Dynasty, or whether it was dug out from the emperor's tomb, but at least it looks more pleasing to the eye than silver boxes and copper carts.

Li Ding'an suddenly became interested, and looked at it seriously.

This brass lock is a bit new, it seems like it was added later... the buckle on the back is also...

Is it also an imitation?

And there seems to be more than one place that is wrong:
There are more than ten points on the man's head, which feels a bit strange...

The peach leaf pattern at the bottom is a bit long and pointed, and the peach leaf pattern is rarely matched with the cloud and thunder pattern...

Take a closer look... This looks like a cicada pattern?
It's the cicada pattern, but it's a deformed cicada pattern, which is relatively rare and not easy to recognize...

Thinking of the cicada pattern, Li Ding'an felt even more wrong... Because this kind of pattern is rarely printed on things used by living people, the most common ones are ritual vessels and funeral objects...

Funeral goods?
As if a flash of inspiration had flashed across his head, he turned his head abruptly: the dot on the sleeping man's head was clearly a pimple... I'm going, Buddha Nirvana?
The lotus on the lid of the box is naturally the lotus of the world in Buddhism...

There is no need to look at it at all, the one opposite the Buddha is definitely the Nandou Xingjun who was born in Taoism...

Looking at the head and the tail of the box, needless to say, the lion is the Buddhist guardian animal, not to mention the general in armor and holding a sword, he must be the marshal horse, the early Taoist guardian...

Seeing this, Li Ding'an can no longer express his feelings in words, because he has never seen a cultural relic that forcibly combines Taoist and Buddhist gods together?
However, the elements representing reincarnation, rebirth, longevity, immortality, etc. in various ancient cultures have been brought together?

So, if it wasn't for a coffin, Li Ding'an would have dared to pick it up and chew it.

nothing to hesitate...

With a flash of thought, he put his hand on it, and then, his heart couldn't stop beating: Sure enough!

And it's the same batch as the red gold doll that Zheng Wanjiu is holding for him now?
national treasure!
