I Am a Nobleman in England
Chapter 36: The world is a **** who worships money
A thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, and the broken ship still has three thousand nails!
Even the declining nobles can't stand the brigands who have been robbers for hundreds of years. It can be said that the ancestors of the British were robbers, and the British today also admit it.
Do not say that there is no treasure in the robber's house!
"The Qing Dynasty painter Wang Jian's landscape painting album, Qing painter Wang Su's "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Collection", Qing Dynasty painter Wang Hui's ancient landscape album, Qing Dynasty painter Wang Shishen Cordyceps album, "Flower Landscape Album" Qing painter Shi Tao."
"Damn...God...Four kings, Bada mountain people, Yangzhou eight monsters..."
Arthur trembling hands carefully flipped through the musty picture album, muttering uncontrollably, it was a violent thing!
This kind of random storage, if not discovered by yourself, these picture albums will definitely be destroyed, this group of uneducated bandits. . . Ahem, okay, now he is the descendant of the robber.
At this moment, Arthur really thanked and despised the incompetent "experts" of the auction house he had been invited to. He despised his ignorance of the culture of the celestial dynasty. At the same time, he also thanked the other party for his ignorance to leave these treasures. It's cheaper for him to be a person who knows the goods.
Pride and prejudice!
This is a deeper reason. Modern Western countries have really little understanding of the heavens. Although an Olympic Games has greatly improved some Western prejudices, the arrogance remains.
What's more, more than ten or twenty years ago, the value of these "stones" and "picture albums" was really similar to that of stones and ordinary paintings and calligraphy. How could the robbers know the "four treasures of the study" and the eight great mountain people?
To be honest, if it weren’t for the tyrants of the dynasty to buy back the cultural relics lost abroad at sky-high prices, the arrogant group of western idiots would still not value the antiques of the celestial dynasty.
You know, before 2008, a blue-and-white plate from an official Qianlong kiln in the Qing Dynasty had a starting price of only £2,000. . . . . .
Arthur carefully put the five picture albums in the box brought by Paul, who was shocked by the value he said, and put the "stones" in the suitcase again, looking at the storage of more than 100 square meters of sundries. Room, eyes shining.
"There are really good things!"
In fact, it is also very well understood. As a noble family with family members joining the army in every generation, how could it lack background, especially since the Earl of Bolin was a colonel in 1900.
"Come on, Paul, help me move all these boxes..."
Arthur stepped on a chair and looked back at the box above the three wooden cabinets and said to Paul.
"Okay, be careful, don't fall..." As the housekeeper Paul ordered, he quickly moved his chair and walked over.
. . . . . .
Butler Paul looked helplessly as he was sitting on the floor directly regardless of the mess, and began to turn the boxes and cabinets, covering the entire storage room floor with all kinds of'stuffs', looking carefully one by one, sometimes disappointed, sometimes sighed, and sometimes Arthur, who was laughing happily, was speechless, but he was relieved to see the pure joy and happy smile on Arthur's face.
Turning his head to look at the suitcase on the side table and the box with five picture albums, he still couldn't believe that the stone called Tianhuangshi, a gram of as low as £100, the blood-red stone, It is more valuable than Tian Huangshi. Seriously, this really subverted his cognition, and what he was even more curious was how Arthur knew the value of these stones, and when Arthur just looked at the picture album, what he said in his mouth seemed to be the language of the celestial dynasty. It made him even more stunned.
"...Snuff bottles without lids...Tsk, these rulers should be ivory, Paul, take a look."
Arthur, who was sitting on the ground happily searching for "Treasure", held three straightedges of different lengths and some yellow and white colors in his hand and passed them to the butler Paul.
Paul unexpectedly reached out and took the ruler that might be made of ivory, and looked carefully.
Arthur looked at the various objects that he had placed on the floor. Although good things had been released, there was not a single piece of porcelain in it, but he thought of the exquisite porcelain placed in the showcase. I am relieved, and I can see if I can find a two-piece official kiln porcelain from those showcases. In that case, I don't need to ask others for my first pot of gold!
"Huh? It says that it was made in Birmingham in 1938, a sterling silver antique cigarette case..." Arthur picked up a rectangular silver product to find the product inscription, the cigarette case was slightly squeezed, and he looked at Paul and asked: " Paul, can you fix this?"
"No problem." Paul reached out his hand to take the cigarette case, checked it, and smiled confidently.
"I have to say that there are a lot of good things here. The pair of small bottles starts at at least £20,000." Arthur put the pair of dirty snuff bottles in his hands and showed Paul, although he is not sure yet. It is made of what material, but he also knows that as long as it is halal, it is absolutely worth the price he just said.
"How is it possible?" Paul the butler was shocked, and he couldn't think that these dirty little bottles were so valuable, "Earl, are you sure?"
Regarding the questioning look on Paul the butler, Arthur did not explain too much. Instead, he played with it in his hands without disgusting the dirt, and removed the dust and stains on the bottle with his hands. "It's a pity... It's not Baiyu's. , Otherwise it’s more valuable..."
But anyway, this trip to Taobao, he made a lot of money. The five albums and the 30 seal stones alone are enough to alleviate the current financial crisis.
"You can contact a large auction company that has an auction house in the Celestial Dynasty, and ask them to send someone who understands the cultural relics of the Celestial Dynasty. They say that we have antiques to entrust them to auction. Remember, it is not auctioned in the UK. I hope they will bring things to Asia for auction!"
"Well, count, I will contact you as soon as possible." Paul the butler responded.
"Well, then you go ahead and don't have to be with me. I want to stay a while." Arthur said while looking at the two boxes that hadn't been searched.
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to wait outside. If you have any instructions, you can ask someone to come in directly. Please pay attention to your safety..." After the steward Paul finished the order, ~www.readwn.com~ slightly leaned back and turned to leave.
Arthur stood up from the floor, walked to one of the large wooden boxes, bent over and opened the lid, looked at the mess inside, squatted down, and started to look out one by one.
Britain should be the largest collection and distribution center of ancient celestial antiques in Europe, for many reasons and historical origins. At the end of the 17th century, Britain and the Netherlands became the first European countries to carry out maritime trade with the Chinese dynasty. At that time, many art treasures of the Chinese dynasty spread to Europe, including porcelain and other artworks. Although there are many in France, it is not as big as the United Kingdom in terms of scale. In addition, the antiques and artworks of the ancient dynasty continued to flow to the United Kingdom.
After all, London is the third largest art market in the world. Collectors from France, Spain, Portugal and many other European countries are more willing to take their collections to the London Antique Exchange. Because the antique market in London is relatively concentrated, its flexibility and maturity are relatively high, and the stratification is also very good.
London has such a comprehensive high, middle and low level antique market, so that collectors and ordinary enthusiasts can get what they want. In addition to large and small antique shops and mass antique markets like Portobello Road Market, London also has various art festivals, and it is also a good place for Taobao.
While looking at the objects in his hand, Arthur thought that maybe he should go shopping for some treasures in those antique markets. Before the tyrants of the tian dynasty had reached the army, maybe he might be able to find some good things.
Arthur Taobao is to make money. Although he also likes these antiques and antiques very much, he is not allowed to collect these treasures. For him, the pound is more important than these paintings and stones. .
There is no way, the world is just a money-worn bitch, without money, breathing is all wrong!
