Chapter 619

Shen Ge's father smiled, and said to Shen Shenyuan, "Dad, can you tell me first whether you can pass the test?"

"I don't need to look at the deposit, I know it, it should be able to arrive tomorrow." Shen Zhongyuan said while looking at Yu Yao.

"This box should not have a base price." Yu Yao said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Shen Zhongyuan was taken aback, and his son was also taken aback.Shen Shen was stunned because he was surprised, while his son, Shen Ge's father, was obviously surprised that Yu Yao knew it before he even got started.

And Shen Ge just pursed his lips and smiled.

"How to say?" Shen Zhongyuan asked.

"This is a lacquer box from the Jiajing period, some with money and some without money. The things used by the court and the royal rewards are generally with money. Those without money are mostly folk things. However, Although this box does not carry money, judging from the workmanship, it is also a palace item..."

Before Yu Yao finished speaking, Father Shen was a little surprised.Shen Zhongyuan praised Yu Yao a lot before, and said Yu Yao several times in front of him, but he always thought, no matter how good a young man's eyesight is, how high can he be?Perhaps it was because of his sharpness in antique reviews that he was valued by Shen Yuan.

However, this lacquered gold and silver ingot box was originally an unpopular antique collection, so it is not easy to recognize and date it.Yu Yao not only said it was from the Ming Dynasty, but also pointed out the Jiajing Dynasty.

If he was asked to directly appraise this thing without knowing it, he would not be able to be so specific.

The most important thing is that now, Yu Yao didn't pick it up to look at the bottom of the box, and he pointed out the signing situation with a burst of blood.

"Since it's a palace property, how can you tell if you don't look at the deposit?" Father Shen was surprised and couldn't help but speak.

"The judging of the palace items is mainly because of the workmanship; and the judging that there is no deposit is because when you took it out just now, the bottom of the box was turned sideways, and you can see part of it."

Hearing this, Shen's father and son couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded.

So I saw it!This thing is done!
However, Shen Shenyuan pondered slightly, then waved his hand suddenly, "No! There are two main types of inscriptions on Jiajing lacquerware in the Ming Dynasty. How can I understand?"

"Mr. Shen, this is a silver ingot box with colored lacquer and gold. How could it be possible to carve the lacquer with a fine needle? It’s just moneyless!”

"Ouch!" Shen Zhongyuan couldn't help but patted his forehead lightly after hearing this, "Why do I feel like my brain is a little short-circuited, this is painted lacquer filled with gold, indeed it can only be carved with a knife and filled with gold."

There are two main methods of inscription on Jiajing lacquerware, one is called carved lacquer, which is usually carved directly on the lacquer surface with a fine needle; the other is called gold filling, which is usually carved with a knife and then filled with gold.The characters filled with gold are naturally larger than those carved with lacquer, and because of the gold filling, they are more eye-catching.

"Dad, it's because Yu Yao immediately pointed out that it belonged to the Jiajing Dynasty, and you haven't turned around after being surprised!" Shen Ge's father smiled, and then said to Yu Yao:

"This box has no money, so it is controversial to find someone to appraise it. Some say it can reach Jiajing, some say it is similar to Wanli, and some say it is from the late Ming and early Qing. If you can make a final decision, I will Feel more at ease."

"That's all you have to believe in me."

"I believe it. And I have to ask you for advice!" Father Shen said seriously.

Yu Yao thought for a while, "It was impossible in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. This kind of exquisite shape and workmanship, as well as the feeling of the decoration, would not have existed in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties."

"Insightful!" Shen's father nodded, and then couldn't help but look at Shen Ge.

Yu Yao continued, "After Xuande in the Ming Dynasty and before Jiajing, the development of government-made lacquerware basically stagnated for nearly a hundred years. This box certainly cannot be from Xuande. On the whole, it is basically from Jiajing and Wanli. Condition."

"Yes, it's Wanli's person, and he's quite persistent." Father Shen answered.

"The lacquerware of the Jiajing Dynasty, after nearly a hundred years of development and changes, has emerged in a delicate and delicate style. Especially the works of colored lacquer and gold, which have brought a craft to the extreme." Yu Yao then said.

Shen Zhongyuan nodded slightly, "Save the rhinoceros?"

"That's right. In terms of the overall style, both Jiajing and Wanli are possible, but the craftsmanship of this collection of rhinoceros is unique to the typical characteristics of the Jiajing Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that it is not Wanli, but Jiajing!"

The so-called Zanxi is simply a kind of small circle pattern, that is, outside the main pattern, it is neither a uniform lacquer base nor a common brocade pattern, but densely packed small circles.

This kind of craftsmanship is not available on all lacquerware, and it is mostly used at the same time as Jinjin.

"Using such a small silver ingot box is indeed asking for trouble." Zhong Yuan smiled.

"The Jiajing dynasty used very little silver ingot boxes." Yu Yao frowned, "I even guessed that the reason for not signing it was because it was too special."

Father Shen clapped his palms and laughed, "It's amazing, it's amazing!"

At this moment, Shen's mother walked back to the living room, looked at her husband, "It's really not easy for you to say that you are amazing!"

"Here! Yu Yao's eyesight, no wonder even Dad admires it, it's really better to see it than to hear it!"

"Cut!" Shen Ge curled his lips, "You don't even have ten stories, do you? And you don't necessarily believe it?"

"Nonsense!" Shen's father said to Shen Ge, but there was a smile on his face.

At this moment, Shen's mother couldn't help but glanced at Yu Yao again, she seemed a little surprised, and then asked, "Xiao Yu, I don't know much about antiques, but I can make Shen Ge's father say that he is amazing, do you have a special system to learn it?" ?”

"No way, I just made it out of the market."

"Yu Yao must be a genius!" Shen Zhongyuan smiled slightly, and then looked at Shen's mother, "Is the meal ready?"

Mother Shen nodded, "Yes, Dad. Then let's eat first?"

The dinner was well prepared, but it was Yu Yao's first visit, so he was too embarrassed to let go.This time Shen Ge sat next to him, but kept picking up food for him.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, during this period, Shen Geyuan and his father mainly exchanged things about antiques with Yu Yao. Shen Geyuan had long been accustomed to Yu Yao's extraordinary insights, but Shen Ge's father was the first time to communicate in depth. , I was full of praise.

When the dinner was about to end, Shen's mother took a moment to greet Yu Yao and asked, "Xiao Yu, what are your plans for the future? Or should you mainly run an antique shop?"

Yu Yao put down his chopsticks, "Auntie, in fact, I don't spend much time in the store now, mainly running outside."

"It's not a bad thing to run around more, but you have to have a plan. Do you have any long-term plans? Like starting an art company or something?" Mother Shen asked again.
