I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 182 Two states of patina
Zhang Yi's words hit the nail on the head.

Gong Shoushan was also taken aback. Between the lines, he seemed to hear that Zhang Yi had doubts about the three-legged tripod.

He said immediately.

"My three-legged tripod, it can't be fake. All my certificates are authoritative certificates, and I feel that Expert Pei is too cautious!"

"Moreover, expert Xiaoyi, look, I also have an atlas of the Qing Palace attached here. There are pictures of this tripod tripod in this atlas, as well as related historical source records. It says that the three-legged tripod is from the Qing Dynasty. It was once collected by the number one scholar Lin Xuande, and it was a gift from the imperial court."

"In addition, the person who sold me this three-legged tripod was also surnamed Lin. He has the genealogy of his Lin family. From the genealogy, it can be seen that he is indeed the seventh grandson of Lin Xuande. This should not be wrong. of."

talking.

Gong Shoushan also took out the genealogy of the Lin family that he had taken with his mobile phone, and pointed out the name of that person, as well as the name of Lin Xuande, the number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty.

There's really nothing wrong with this.

Moreover, judging from the picture, this Lin family tree is also very old-fashioned.

but.

Genealogy may also be true or false. Antiques can be aged, and genealogy is easier to be aged. Therefore, there is no way to distinguish the true from the false from the pictures.

As for what Gong Shoushan said, Zhang Yi could see clearly that there was only one purpose, and that was to prove that the tripod tripod in his hand was real.

In fact, these words are unlikely to affect Zhang Yi's judgment.

"Mr. Gong, don't worry, let me take a look at the details of the tripod first."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, Gong Shoushan wanted to say something, but Zhu Qingyu said something.

"Yeah, Mr. Gong, why are you in a hurry? Xiao Yi hasn't read your stuff yet. After he finishes reading it, it's not too late to tell if it's true or not!"

After Zhu Qingyu spoke, Gong Shoushan nodded and sat down.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be a little worried.

And Zhang Yi didn't care so much.

He glanced left and right, and then, between the handles, gently placed his right index finger on the tripod.

The voice in the mind followed.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Identify!"

"Bronze tripod with gluttonous patterns and three legs."

"This three-legged tripod has a folded edge, a square lip, two ears on top, a deep belly slightly bulged, and three pillar-shaped feet on the bottom to support it. Mangong is decorated with high-relief patterns, and is decorated with fine and very regular clouds and thunders. In contrast, the lines are very deep and undulating. In addition, the embossed patterns are decorated with engraved lines to form three layers of patterns."

"The neck steps are decorated with three groups of Kui dragon patterns. The big head opens its mouth and the tail hooks upward. The abdomen is decorated with three taotie patterns. A pair of round big eyes protrude. Open, the Yin line at the foot of the column is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns followed by triangular patterns. The inner wall is cast with a family emblem inscription, 鬲. The inscription 鬲 on this tripod is the clan emblem of an important clan in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and only noble clans can have it. Such an exquisite bronze vessel."

"Judging from the handed down state of the three-legged tripod and the friction marks on the soles of the feet, it basically conforms to the state characteristics of the authentic handed down."

"But it just so happens that these exquisite pattern parts, although there are also rich and moist patina handed down from generation to generation, but through careful observation of this kind of patina, it will be found that although the patina penetrates into the texture of the pattern, it is not natural enough. Except for the decorative pattern part In addition, the patina is natural, and the two are not consistent."

"This bronze tripod tripod with gluttonous patterns is actually a bronze tripod with plain surface in the late Shang Dynasty. The original tripod has no decorations. The patterns on it and the inscriptions inside are all modern antique carving techniques, which were carved later. The level of fake It's so high, it's almost unreal."

"In addition, although this tripod tripod is an authentic product with plain surface and no pattern in the late Shang Dynasty, it has been artificially falsified because of its decorative inscriptions, which has seriously affected its own value. It is a very harmful antique imitation. !"

Hearing this result, Zhang Yi was a little surprised.

but.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense again.

Even expert Pei didn't see that the three-legged tripod was true or not for two reasons. First, it was indeed a genuine Su Ding. Second, although the inscriptions and decorations were fake, they reached a level that could almost be confused with the real one. .

Moreover, these methods of deception are almost exclusively for expert identification.

Fundamentally speaking, the identification ability of the counterfeiter is not bad either.

Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to fool the experts.

At this moment.

Seeing Zhang Yi, Expert Pei stopped observing.

He asked immediately.

"Xiao Yi, what do you think of this three-legged tripod?"

Zhang Yi replied.

"Uncle Pei, Mr. Gong's three-legged tripod is indeed an authentic product from the late Shang Dynasty."

When Zhang Yi said this, he looked at Mr. Gong, and Mr. Gong showed a joyful expression on his face.

Expert Pei was stunned for a moment, and asked again.

"Xiao Yi, are you sure?"

"Sure, this is indeed genuine."

However, after Zhang Yi affirmed, he continued.

"However, according to my judgment, this tripod tripod from the late Shang Dynasty is absolutely impossible to be collected by the Qing court, because a tripod tripod of this level is not worthy of the collection of the Qing court."

The words were astonishing, Expert Pei asked.

"why?"

"It is worthless!"

Zhang Yi's answer was straightforward.

And Expert Pei frowned, as if he couldn't figure it out, how could a three-legged tripod of this level have such exquisite patterns and decorations, and there was an inscription of the word "鬲" inside, so how could it be worthless?

But Expert Pei also understands that Zhang Yi won't talk nonsense, he must have his reasons.

Gong Shoushan looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately.

"Since it is a three-legged tripod from the Shang Dynasty, something used by famous families, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is so well preserved, how can it be worthless?"

Then, Zhang Yi explained.

"It is indeed an old object from the late Shang Dynasty, but it is not used by a famous family. It should not be used by a famous family."

"Plain noodles?"

When Expert Pei heard the word, he asked back, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right, this is indeed a three-legged tripod with plain noodles."

"Although the characteristics of these decorations conform to the style of the late Shang Dynasty, all the decorations are all carved. The authentic products of the Shang Dynasty are generally a combination of fan casting and carving, which is inconsistent."

"In addition, it can be seen under a magnifying glass that the decoration part, and the shell and patina of the internal inscription part are consistent, and the patina fusion transition is not natural. The rest of the parts are consistent with the patina of these two parts. The paste shell has a different texture, and the paste shell penetrates into the texture, which is a natural paste and shell formed under very natural conditions."

"On a bronze vessel, there are two states of patina, is this normal?"
