Chapter 774 Da Vinci imitation painting?
The reason why Nan Nan said that was because he wanted to take the responsibility on himself so that his grandfather would not be safe at the end of the festival.Chu Chen also understood what Nan Nan wanted to express. At this time, of course, he would not be able to pour cold water on the other party. He would not do such things as exposing other people's scars and harming others.

However, to be honest, if Nan Nan explained it this way, and his grandfather really had a high level of appraisal in porcelain, Chu Chen couldn't understand such a pomegranate that was not difficult for him to appraise. Respect, the other party will identify the result of the genuine product.

"Who knows what's going on!" Chu Chen didn't want to waste that brain cell anymore.

After blaming herself, Nan Nan cheered up again, and asked, "Mr. Chu, I wonder if you can figure out where this fake was produced?"

Chu Chen replied: "Actually, to be precise, it is not right to call it a fake. It should be said that it is a high-quality imitation."

Nan Nan just heard the words, and quickly asked: "How do you say?"

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Nan, if you have a deep understanding of Longquan kiln, you should know that imitation of Longquan kiln products is a worldwide phenomenon. If I am not wrong, this pomegranate statue should be from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. product."

Because Longquan porcelain is famous all over the world, not only domestic but also foreign collectors flock to it. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, people from island countries, Germany, and the United States successively went to Longquan to collect celadon. This has led to the trend of excavating ancient kiln sites and robbing ancient tombs in Longquan.

At the same time, the development of antique celadon in Longquan was booming, and a group of folk porcelain artists joined the trip one after another.During the Guangxu and Xuantong years of the Qing Dynasty, the antique celadon made by the brothers Sunkeng, Fan Zuling and Zuqiu became famous for a time. In the early Republic of China, the utensils imitated by Liao Xianzhong, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, were even more likely to be fake.There are also many other imitation masters.

Xu Yuanruo in the Qing Dynasty wrote "Ge Kiln and Brother Kiln" and said: "...sometimes it can be confused. If you use medicine to remove Xinguang, and the bottom or edge is slightly broken, then those who are fond of ancient times will be easy to take the bait..."

Chu Chen picked up the Pomegranate Zun, pointed to the bottom, and said, "Look at this, is it similar to what Xu Yuanruo said in his book?"

Nan Nan stepped forward to take a look and found that it was really the case.Then he heard Chu Chen say a few characteristics, and he had to believe that Chu Chen's conclusion was probably correct.If it is really an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, then it can also explain why the two places Chu Chen mentioned just now seem a little less obvious.

After all, it has been nearly a hundred years since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Although the time is short, there will be oxidized works on porcelain, which will make some features not obvious.

Of course, Nan Nan had a way to confirm whether Chu Chen's judgment was right or not, so he greeted Chu Chen and Wu Ke, and then went outside to make a call while holding his mobile phone.

After a while, Nan Nan re-entered the reception room, and said with a wry smile: "Just now I called and asked, and the other party said that the things were indeed bought by his elders from Huaxia in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was a pair, But he accidentally dropped one, because he was afraid of falling again, so he sold it to me."

Hearing what he said, Chu Chen could only comfort him with a few words, but Nan Nan was able to ask the details of the matter in such a short period of time. There must be some means that the other party is afraid of. As for which of the two ways is black and white? , he immediately had some guesses.

Before, the reason why Nan Nan treated Chu Chen with courtesy was also because of Chu Chen's identity and his belongings, but now after hearing Chu Chen's detailed and accurate judgment, he has such high respect for the young Chu Chen. I really admire the level of appraisal. At Chu Chen's age, it would be impossible for him to achieve this level.

"Mr. Chu, I admire you very much in terms of porcelain appraisal!" After Nan Nan calmed down, she gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and praised him.

Chu Chen hurriedly said modestly: "I dare not take it, I still have a lot to learn in this respect!"

Nan Nan just chuckled. Of course he couldn't know that Chu Chen is all-rounder, but based on the profound knowledge that Chu Chen showed in the identification of Pomegranate Zun just now, he felt that at least in the Yuan Dynasty Longquan Kiln, Chu Chen's level should be Not lost to some well-known appraisal experts.

At this time, Chu Chen pointed to a few things in front of him and said, "Boss, what is our deal today?"

Nan Nancai immediately said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chu, let's talk about the transaction later, please wait a moment, and I'll go get another collection."

"Oh! Does the boss still have ancient porcelain treasures?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

"It's not porcelain." Nan Nan shook her head.

When Chu Chen heard that it wasn't porcelain, he said, "Boss Nan, I really appreciate these two pieces of porcelain, so please don't bother me."

Nan Nan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I really like your arhat bracelet. The things I'm going to get now are also for the bracelet. As for these two pieces of porcelain, you Whether you want to change it or buy it, it’s all possible.”

Chu Chen frowned when he heard the words, and said with some embarrassment: "But boss, I really don't want to change this bracelet!"

Nan Nan also guessed what Chu Chen would say, so she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I change it or not, but if I don't work hard, I will definitely regret it in the future. And even though my item is a fake , but it’s really good, maybe you’ll like it!”

"OK then……"

Seeing that Nan Nan was talking about this, Chu Chen couldn’t say anything if he refused, so he could only agree. Besides, he was really curious now, what kind of imitation was able to get Nan Nan That's why it's evaluated.

After Nan Nan left, Wu Ke said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with this man, why is he like brown sugar, is it possible that the things he likes must be exchanged for him?"

Chu Chen patted her hand lightly, and said, "Okay, don't be angry, I think he really likes this arhat bracelet, so it's not surprising to have such a reaction. Besides, this difficult boss is probably not simple. , we can't refuse too much."

Wu Ke heard what Chu Chen said, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood what Chu Chen meant. This made her feel a little worried and wanted to leave here immediately, but when she saw the calm and calm Chu Chen, she calmed down again. , she knew that Chu Chen was very concerned about her safety. If Nan Nancai really wanted to harm them, Chu Chen must have a solution.

So, she curled her lips: "But what is he doing with the imitation, no matter what, an imitation is an imitation, how much value can it have?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. What if it's an imitation by a famous artist? It's also very valuable. And Nan Nan just said that. His things should have something unique. Let's see later You know, if I don’t like it, just don’t change it.”

"Why, do you really want to change?" Wu Ke heard another meaning from it, and asked curiously.

"This Nan Nan is also a smart person. He should be able to see that if it is not something that can completely impress me, I will definitely not agree to exchange it. Now that he said so, I think he must be very interested in his own things." Confidence, although I am not willing to part with this bracelet, but you can't have both, since there are better things, then I will definitely not give up." Chu Chen said.

"That's right, let's take a look and talk..."

After a while, Nan Nan carefully walked in with a bag with a picture frame in it. It looked like an oil painting.

Seeing that it was actually an oil painting, both Chu Chen and Wu Ke were a little disappointed. Chu Chen was because he didn't like oil paintings very much, and Wu Ke was because she knew Chu Chen's preferences, Ai Wu and Wu Xia's reaction.

When Nan Nan saw Chu Chen's expression, his heart skipped a beat, but he immediately regained his energy. He was still very confident in his own things, and believed that Chu Chen would eventually agree to the deal. .

Nan Nan didn't talk nonsense, she cleaned up the table first, then took the painting out of the bag and put it flat on the table.

The first thing that caught Chu Chen and Wu Ke's eyes was a picture frame that looked a bit old. Later, when Chu Chen and Wu Ke saw the content of the painting, they couldn't help being slightly taken aback. It was a portrait of a western girl. Judging from the costumes, the girl should be a figure of the European Renaissance.

The girl's eyes, movements, etc., can be described as vividly portrayed, and there is a sense of awe-inspiring as soon as you see it.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke can be sure that this painting must be made by a master artist.The reason why the two were a little dazed was because the style of this painting seemed familiar.

Chu Chen raised his head and asked, "Boss, is this Da Vinci's work?"

Nan Nan smiled and shook her head: "This is not Da Vinci's work, but an imitation."

After hearing Nan Nancai's reply, Chu Chen couldn't help laughing secretly that he was stupid. If it was a real Da Vinci, how could Nan Nancai exchange it with him?

However, what makes Chu Chen unbelievable is that the level of imitation of this work is too high. If Nan Nan didn't say that, he definitely wouldn't think it was an imitation.

And Wu Ke also asked in surprise: "Is this an imitation?"

"It is indeed an imitation!" Nan Nan nodded again, and then sighed: "I thought it was the real thing at the time, and after I got it, I excitedly went to find an appraiser who has studied Da Vinci very deeply. Appraisal, at the beginning, the appraiser was also taken aback, thinking that he had encountered the real thing, but in the end the appraisal turned out to be an imitation!"

Chu Chen heard the words and said: "It's hard to think about it, boss, you should not only ask a treasure appraiser to help you identify it, right?"

Nan Nan replied: "No, I can't just find one appraiser for such a valuable thing! The appraisal fee alone cost me at least two months' turnover, and all the appraisers agreed. It is determined that this painting is an imitation. I am about to do a carbon-14 identification!"
