Chapter 191 The Dzi Bead Settles, Pay Attention to the Paperweight

Everyone else seemed to be paying close attention to this group of dzi beads.

Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo exchanged a few words in whispers.

Yu Yao shook his head slightly.He knew in his heart that many people bid for Tianzhu, which was actually the same as bidding for the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming.

Inviting the God of Wealth is for the psychology of getting rich; inviting the Dzi Beads is to value the blessing of Buddhism and ask for protection and safety.The focus is not on the value of antiques.

Asking for protection and safety, praying for good luck, this is the public psychology, no problem.But nowadays, many people keep increasing their weight on external things, but ignore inner cultivation and daily actions.

As the saying goes: Why do you light a lamp if you don’t know what you are doing?

After the auction started, as Yu Yao expected, the bidding was very fierce, exceeding 500 million in a few rounds.

Yu Yao thought to himself that this might be even higher than the hammer price of the finale lot.The auction house does not regard this group of dzi beads as the finale of the auction, so it is estimated that it cannot be completely regarded as the most pure, otherwise it will be regarded as the finale, and the starting price can be even higher.

But even so, it has become a hot spot in the auction of miscellaneous items.

In the end, all the way to 800 million, there are fewer talents bidding.After rushing to 900 million, there are only two people left.

At this time, Tan Xinning suddenly raised his sign.

1000 million!

Yu Yao thought to himself, so they came here for this group of dzi beads, and they were determined to get them.

In the end, only a 30-year-old man was left to bid with Tan Xinning.Yu Yao had never seen this man before, his temperament was rather creamy, and he didn't look like someone from the antique circle.He didn't have any bidding skills either. After Tan Xinning added 1000 million, he also added 100 million, reaching 100 million.

At this time, Tan Xinning began to fight with him, no matter how much he added, he would only pay [-], and the bids were very slow, only when the auctioneer called out "the first time".

When it reached 300 million, the man suddenly added 200 million to 500 million.

Tan Xinning still only added 510, [-] million.

The man was silent for a while, and added 580 million.

This time Tan Xinning added 20, making a total of 600 million.

In the end, when the auctioneer called out "the third time", the man threw away his number plate and left the table!

Tan Xinning showed disdain, and everyone looked sideways.

600 million, this group of dzi beads was settled.

"I didn't expect her to be so rich!" Yu Yaoxin said, she can tell the dragon-shaped pendant from generation to generation at once, and she has good eyesight; it seems that she has seen a lot of good things.Once the foundation is laid and money is piled up, eyesight will naturally improve quickly.

After winning the auction of the dzi bead, Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo did not leave.However, many people just left.At this time, there were less than ten people left in the auction hall.

The auctioneer's face is a little embarrassed, the finale lot is not up yet!In the miscellaneous field, I took a few pieces and walked a few, and after finishing the Tianzhu shooting, I walked a lot.But there is no way, the auction has to continue.

The finale lot is a gilt-bronze multi-treasure scent diffuser.

The main body of the aromatherapy is a gilt copper body. The mythical beast holds its head up and opens its mouth, full of domineering;

At the same time, the Beast God is inlaid with various jade and gemstones, including red agate, turquoise, lapis lazuli, white jade, jasper, sapphire, tourmaline, etc., showing a jeweled look.

This aromatherapy opens the door wide.Yu Yao only looked at the pictures, and he didn't even need to look at the money, he knew that it was the court fragrance of the Qianlong Dynasty.

Use it as the finale lot, it is really important.

Incense has a long history in China, and there are all kinds of incense utensils, such as the famous Boshan furnace in the Han Dynasty.In the early days of aromatherapy, it was usually made of bronze, and it was mainly a practical device.After the Han Dynasty, aromatherapy incense burners also gradually added the functions of ornamental and display devices to practical devices.

The Qing Dynasty was a period of great prosperity for the production of aromatherapy. The main halls, study rooms, and sleeping palaces of the Forbidden City all had aromatherapy furnishings.

Animal-shaped aromatherapy is a typical and important classification in aromatherapy, such as unicorn, suanni, etc., the body is incensed, the cigarette floats out of the mouth, the gods and beasts offer luck, and the meaning is auspicious.

The starting price of this gold-plated bronze multi-treasure divine beast fragrance is 500 million yuan higher than that of the group of dzi beads.

Yu Yao thought about it, the market price of this aromatherapy can reach 800 million, and the starting price is so high, it probably has something to do with not setting a reserve price.

A good thing is a good thing. Although there were less than ten people left, there were still four or five people who participated in the bidding.

It's just far less intense than Tianzhu.The final transaction price did not exceed Yu Yao's idea. When it reached 800 million, after someone added 810 more, the transaction was [-] million.

This is just over half of the transaction price of that group of dzi beads.

After the divine beast fragrance fell under the hammer, some people left, and in the end, only four people remained.

Yu Yao is one, Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo are two.There is also a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, in his 40s and less than [-], with a neat haircut and a clean shaven beard, looking calm and relaxed.This person seems to have never made a move, more like a spectator.

However, his gaze seemed to be watching Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo from time to time.

The last lot is a red sandalwood guqin-shaped paperweight.

A paperweight is a heavy object used to press paper when writing and drawing, or it can be reversed, called a paperweight.At the beginning, the shape of the paperweight was irregular, but later because most of them were long strips, another name was added, called the paperweight.

Paperweights are similar to armrests, they are all stationery items other than pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and they are also good for playing with.

This red sandalwood guqin paperweight is from the late Qing Dynasty or even the early Republic of China.

The reason why it was not placed in the furniture and woodware factory is that it is a practical tool for the study, and there is also a copper inlay process on it.

This paperweight is rather small, 24 centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide at its widest point. It is made of a piece of red sandalwood wood in the shape of a guqin. The bottom is naturally flat, and the upward side is slightly curved. Seven strings are inlaid with copper wire on the top. On the outer side of the strings, there are also nine sound emblems (marks on the piano for identifying the sound when pressing the strings) inlaid with round copper sheets.

The starting price of this red sandalwood guqin paperweight is [-] yuan.

At the same time no reserve price is set.

In fact, there is no need to set a reserve price, because this paperweight has no money, so it can only be roughly judged to be something from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, mainly because of the price of the material and conventional craftsmanship.

The market price is between [-] and [-].

After the filming started, the middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s was still calm and did not intend to make a move.

And Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo seemed to exchange a few words in a low voice, but they didn't intend to make a move.

When Yu Yao was flipping through the auction catalogue, he just glanced at this red sandalwood guqin paperweight and didn't take it seriously.

Now, the image on the big screen is very clear, Yu Yao paid attention to it, but found something that he hadn't noticed before!
Because when he looked at the auction catalogue, he only scanned the name and the front main picture, and never paid attention to the small partial picture.But on the big screen, the partial images are also magnified.
