Chapter 590 What a big heart!

"replicated?"

Chu Yunfeng had just heard Teacher Cai's knowledge about Xuande furnaces. If he wanted to identify whether a copper furnace was from the Xuande period, it was almost impossible to be 100% sure.

The only way to truly identify it is from its sound, so it is not surprising that this copper stove was identified as authentic by foreigners.

"Yes, the sound is not as clear and powerful as the real Xuande period, but its workmanship is not bad, and the imitations in the late Ming Dynasty were also made with great care."

Teacher Cai sighed silently, and said with some regret.

I thought I would be able to see a real piece of Xuande incense burner from the Xuande period, but I didn't expect it to happen. There are very few Xuande incense burners that were actually cast in the Xuande period.

"Teacher Cai, although this is a counterfeit, its workmanship is good. How much is the difference in value compared to the one from the Xuande period?"

Longma asked with great interest. Seeing Pharaoh winking at him, he had no choice but to ask for him.

“The main reason why the Xuande furnace is sought after is because the copper used in its casting is of different quality. It is tribute wind-milled copper, and gold, silver and other metals are added together to make it so exquisite.

But after the wind-milled copper is used up, the craftsmen who later imitated it can only use brass copper to replace it, and this imitation is also divided into 5 periods, and the imitation in each period is different.

Contemporary imitation, after the palace closed the furnace in the third year of Xuande period, the supervisor at that time gathered the original craftsmen and cast it separately.

Although the workmanship is as exquisite as before.The form is more varied, but the copper quality is finally inferior.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, during the Zhengde period of the mid-Ming Dynasty, the government and the public also needed to use copper incense burners. Because Xuande burners had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the shape and style of Xuande burners were continued or slightly changed.At this time, the characteristic of the furnace is that the copper color is yellowed, and the body is cast with Islamic characters.

It was imitated in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. At that time, arts and crafts utensils had made great progress and development. Therefore, Xuande furnace imitations were also beautifully produced and followed the lost wax casting method of the Ming Dynasty. However, compared with the Ming Dynasty, the shape was only slightly different. Just dexterity.The fetus is also thick and heavy, with colors ranging from dark red to orange.

It was imitated from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.The copper is thick, has many blisters, the furnace wall is thin, and the weight is light. Some are cast by sand casting method, and the process is rougher.

Another one is modern imitation. With the advancement of modern science and technology, many modern imitation copper stoves can almost look like real ones, which has made many people pay tuition fees.

The reason why this piece is judged to be an imitation in the late Ming Dynasty is mainly because of its sound, and secondly, its tire is heavier and its color is slightly dark red.

These are the imitation features of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although they are not genuine Xuande models, they can still be worth millions. "

Teacher Cai told the imitation characteristics of each period, and accurately stated the problems with this copper stove. After hearing this, Chu Yunfeng felt a little regretful.

The gap between one million and hundreds of millions is still a bit big. I thought this thing could be used as a store treasure, but it seems that it still lacks a little bit of fate.

But when Raphael sent these antiques here that night, he told himself that the British Duke Dalton seemed to have many treasures.

But Chu Yunfeng was curious about why Orlando told him this?

Could it be said that he suffered a loss from Dalton when he was shopping for antiques?
I don’t know if there will be a real Xuande furnace there. If you have the opportunity to go, you must not let it go, even if you scrape the ground, you will have to find one.
"It's just that fate has not come yet. This kind of thing is very common in the antique world. Don't you still have so many genuine items?
By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow? "

Teacher Jin saw that Chu Yunfeng was a little disappointed, so he comforted him. Young people are brave and diligent and have suffered relatively few setbacks. How can the three of us have been in the antique world for so many years and have never encountered anything?
Items picked up for a few dollars can be sold for millions, and antiques bought for millions are only worth a few dollars. This kind of thing is not surprising. After more experience and knowledge, you will become numb.

"Tomorrow will be like this. I'll ask three teachers to help identify the authenticity of these things, and then help put them in the store.

Let’s make it a treasure appraisal type. We move the boxes to the third floor of the boutique, and then three teachers will unpack them and appraise them.

The media have already been contacted for promotion in the form of live broadcast. You all saw it just now. This is also a good opportunity to promote the boutique.

You are all professionals. Let’s see where these things should be placed. I will cook you a table of delicious food tonight and thank you very much.

So I’ll leave it to the three teachers and ask for your help. "

Chu Yunfeng said in a very sincere tone that he thought his request would be rejected by the three teachers before, but he did not expect that they agreed as soon as they heard it.

So this favor was owed a lot. Chu Yunfeng was still thinking about how to repay the three teachers. How about giving them a big red envelope later?

"It's okay to help, but we have a small request. If we want to see the antiques here, can you not refuse?"

Teacher Jin cheerfully put forward a condition that didn’t seem to be a condition.

"That's no problem. It's my honor if you are willing to come. I can also learn a lot of knowledge from you. This is something I can't even ask for."

Chu Yunfeng agreed immediately without thinking. What kind of request was this?

The three teachers, Lao Wang and Long Ma all laughed. Teacher Jin's words had already made it clear that this time he was helping for free. Chu Yunfeng also knew that this time the favor was really owed.

Otherwise, given the status of the three of them, if they want to hire so many antiques for help in appraisal, the appraisal cost will definitely be high.

"Brother, you have kept these things here for so many days, and you didn't tell me earlier to let me see them first. Don't do this next time!"

Teacher Jin, who was still smiling just now, suddenly turned dark after hearing this. The smiles on the faces of the other two teachers also disappeared instantly and they immediately became serious.
"Wait! You mean he kept these things here for several days? He kept them like this all the time?"

Teacher Jin's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan", and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

"Yeah, don't blame me for telling him. This brother Chu has some good stuff but he doesn't know how to share it as soon as possible, so that he can enjoy his addiction as soon as possible!"

Lao Wang did not see the gradual changes in the faces of the three teachers. He was still checking the photos on the box while continuing to "blame" Chu Yunfeng.

"you you you.
You are so big-hearted, don’t you take so many precious things seriously?
Just leave it here without asking, are you not afraid of being stolen?
Do you know how precious these things are?Many of them are not necessarily something you can’t buy even if you have money.”

Teacher Jin pointed at Chu Yunfeng and said angrily, "This is definitely the first time I have seen such a big-hearted person like Chu Yunfeng. It really makes people speechless."

When someone finds a treasure worth not just hundreds of thousands, but tens of thousands of dollars, they have to be put away carefully.

But as for Chu Yunfeng, there are at least hundreds of millions of antiques here, and he doesn't take them seriously. It's simply unimaginable.

"What? Someone stole it? Where?"

When Lao Wang heard that Teacher Jin seemed to be talking about being stolen, he immediately became anxious.
