Chapter 574 Abnormal Ancient Painting
immediately.

A voice came from Zhang Yi's mind.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

"Identify!"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

to be frank.

He is also very curious, what is the situation of this big book case?
Next.

In the mind, the voice of appraisal came.

"Huanghuali Big Book Case in the Late Qing Dynasty."

"Huanghua pear, also known as Dalbergia Dalbergia. Its wood color is golden and warm, and its heartwood is darker in color, reddish brown or dark brown, with the texture of rhino horn."

"Because the woodiness of huanghuali wood is very stable, it will not be deformed, cracked, or bent regardless of cold or heat. It has a certain degree of toughness and can be used to make various special-shaped furniture."

"In addition, the texture of huanghuali wood is clear, like flowing water. The most special thing is that there are many wood boils in the wood grain. These wood boils are also very flat and not cracked. Some can show the texture of fox head, old man's head and hair. Beautiful and pleasant, that is what people often call a grimace."

"This huanghuali book case has ghost faces, and it is very natural. It is not artificially dyed or synthesized. It looks like a real huanghuali book case."

"But this book case is hidden under the appearance, but there is another universe."

"The exterior of the desk is indeed made of huanghuali. However, the inside of the desk is not made of huanghuali wood. Therefore, in order to save huanghuali wood, this is a piece of paper wrapped with a thin layer of huanghuali veneer. The big huanghuali book case is a fake. And the inside of this table case is made of very ordinary poplar wood!"

"Gold and jade are in the outside, and they are ruined in it."

"Therefore, this huanghuali large book case is an old fake large book case wrapped in huanghuali wood veneer in the late Qing Dynasty."

No wonder.

When Zhang Yi caressed the surface lightly, there would be raised spots.

It seems.

After many years.

Even the fake huanghuali book case with perfect craftsmanship has already peeled off.

However, with expert appraisal, it is impossible to cut open the Huanghuali book case.

The bulge on the surface may be regarded as intentional by the carpenter of the book case.

After all, those bumps are not very obvious, so it has no effect on use.Even, in some specific book cases, there are special uses.

Such as splash ink painting.

Some painters deliberately make a slightly uneven table case.

It is used to maximize the artistic style of splash-ink painting.

See Zhang Yi has been reading this book case.

Wang Chang immediately asked.

"Mr. Zhang, what's the matter? What's the problem with this Huanghuali book case?"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand.

He tapped on the raised part of the table top of the big case, and then tapped on the non-raised part.

The sound is different.

Wang Chang naturally heard it too.

he asked immediately.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Yi replied.

"The fake huanghuali wood-wrapped surface in the late Qing Dynasty, ancient fakes, are also considered antiques, but it is not suitable to be used as the cover of your auction catalog. The starting price of this book case is [-] to [-] yuan. You can still try it!"

"After all, although this thing is not a huanghuali, but it has the skin of a huanghuali. Some people who are not willing to spend a lot of money and want to use high-end desks to save face may buy it."

Wang Chang was stunned.

"Mr. Zhang! You said... You said this thing only has a layer of huanghuali skin? Is this a fake?"

Wang Chang still couldn't believe it.

"That's right, the inside is made of poplar wood. Moreover, the legs of this table are also covered with poplar wood with a layer of huanghuali. The workmanship is very fine. In the Qing Dynasty, this must have been used to deceive people!"

Zhang Yi explained.

"The place under the table legs that is in contact with the ground must have flaws, right? It has been nearly 200 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty. Such a large book case should have been severely worn! However, experts have checked the worn parts. Why didn't you see it?"

Wang Chang is still skeptical.

Zhang Yi called two people and tilted the whole table.

"Mr. Wang, look, the worn surface is indeed made of huanghuali. Basically, the pattern can match the pattern on the table legs. However, you can knock off the bottom and top of the table legs, and the sound is different. Moreover, the table legs are close to the ground, five centimeters away, why should there be such a bulge?"

Zhang Yi asked.

Wang Chang knocked on his own, and listened carefully. The sound of the raised top and bottom is indeed different.

"This bump should be for decoration, right?"

Wang Chang guessed so.

Zhang Yi shook his head.

He said.

"There is no decoration on the legs of the whole table, but there is this unsightly decoration near the ground. There is no decoration on the top of the table legs because, for the convenience of skinning, there is such a bulge below. Because, for the convenience of connecting a piece of solid wood huanghuali table legs."

Wang Chang was stunned.

Because what Zhang Yi said was impeccable.

he couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you know such details?"

in fact.

It is not difficult to guess that this Huanghuali table case is a fake of the Qing Dynasty.

There must be a complete set of fraud, otherwise, how can you deceive the eyes of those experts?
estimate.

The people who participated in the design of this table at that time must also be very knowledgeable experts.

Of course, Zhang Yi's appraisal ability cannot be said.

and so.

He had to answer.

"Actually, I have seen such fake huanghuali furniture, and the workmanship methods are all the same."

Wang Chang nodded, and couldn't help admiring in his heart that Zhang Yi was well-informed.

What's more, Zhang Yi is still so young.

Also.

Regarding the huanghuali furniture, the negotiation with Chen Runfa was Wang Chang's business. Zhang Yi didn't need to think about it.

Therefore, the case has been appraised.

Zhang Yi asked again.

"Mr. Wang, I remember, you said that Chen Runfa still has a painting and calligraphy?"

Wang Chang nodded.

After the Huanghuali book case was rejected, he was still a little bit disappointed.

Regarding that painting, Wang Chang couldn't get excited.

He said.

"The calligraphy and painting are not worth mentioning. They were painted by an unknown painter in the Qing Dynasty. I'm going to give him 8000 yuan to start the auction. The artistry of that painting is still good!"

"Can I see it?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"Okay, it's over there!"

Wang Chang pointed, and there was no exhibition hall open in front, so the two walked over.

The painting, not yet hung, was in the safe, rolled up.

estimate.

The painting will be put on display until the gallery opens.

Wang Chang went over.

Signal the staff to open the safe.

Go to the large painting and calligraphy case next to it, and slowly unfold the painting.

in fact.

before the painting unfolds.

Zhang Yi saw a special place.

This painting looks much thicker than Zhang Yi's common paintings when rolled up.

The scroll inside is also of normal size. Zhang Yi asked, the size of this painting is also within the normal range, not particularly long.

This is not normal.
