Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Zhang Donggao smiled and said, "This is a normal phenomenon, because these are not stamps from the same period."

In addition to Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaoxian, Yu Zongwen and Tang Tianhao also had such doubts and listened patiently.

Zhang Donggao's explanation is very detailed and clear.

The "Three Seals" of the "sequel" were sealed in the two years from the 56th to the 58th year of Qianlong, while the "Five Seals of the Qianlong" were generally sealed from the tenth to the 56th year of Qianlong, which was completed by the "preliminary". During the period, if you enter the palace earlier and the initial compilation is not included, the seal time between "Five Seals" and "Three Seals" will differ by up to forty-six years, so there will be a considerable amount of "sequel" inkpad colors. It looks a little darker, and this phenomenon can often be seen in other collections of "Sequel to Shiqu Baoji".

On the contrary, counterfeiting cannot achieve this effect.

The "Five Seals of Qianlong" uses a very special ink pad, and it is basically close to the material formula of the late Ming and early Qing. The color is still red after hundreds of years, and the seasoning is a mixture of oil and water, so the printing color can be seen to have a grainy feeling. This kind of ink pad was basically extinct in the late Qianlong period and Jiaqing period. A few decades later, the Jiaqing emperor used the same ink pad as Qianlong's seal on his paintings and calligraphy, and some of it used the mimeo ink pad at that time. There are more obvious differences.

This phenomenon can often be seen in the old collections of the Qing palace on display in museums.

There are many examples, but a map is needed to illustrate the problem. It just so happens that the "Sequel Seal" of "The Story of the Yuan Ouyang Xuan Chunhui Hall" in the Palace Museum is very close to the "Five Seals of Qianlong". Although the printed matter has serious color deviation, it still It is easy to see the phenomenon of different colors of ink pads.

After listening to Zhang Donggao's appraisal explanation, except for the two insiders, Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaoxian, the other three felt that they had gained a lot.

Still, Zheng Xiaowu preemptively said: "I want this painting, Mr. Wang, give you an estimate."

"It's okay to estimate the price, but if you want it, there is a problem." This painting is too rare, and Wang Xiaoxian is also bound to get it. Appropriate. As you all know, Mr. Xiao is now the only diamond-level VIP of our Yiyun auction house. He does not draw commissions for the auction. It is possible for this painting to be auctioned at a high price. It is in the best interests of Mr. Xiao."

"That's not necessarily the case. I am willing to take this painting at a premium of 30% on the basis of the highest estimate. If it is auctioned, it may not be higher than the price I paid." Zheng Xiaowu refused.

Yu Zongwen also interjected: "You two are fighting first, and I will join in the fun. I want this painting too. Let's get the one with the higher price. This way it won't hurt the peace. You will give it to Mr. Wang first. Estimate the price."

It is rare to encounter a fine painting of national treasure level, but there are two rich men competing next to him. Wang Xiaoxian can only give an estimate first: "I estimated this painting at 300 million yuan."

Like the previous valuation, Wang Xiaoxian's valuation is a bit higher.

"390 million, I want this painting." Zheng Xiaowu gave an offer without any hesitation.

This price is a bit too high. Although Yu Zongwen also wants to win this painting, his highest estimate is 350 million. Zheng Xiaowu's offer is so high that he can only give up the competition.

"Mr. Zheng is indeed very sincere. I really can't guarantee that this painting can be sold at such a high price after it is shot. Then I will not compete with you." Wang Xiaoxian was very helpless.

Zhang Donggao sighed and said: "I wanted to persuade Mr. Xiao to persuade him to donate this painting to our Palace Museum. Mr. Zheng gave such a high price, and I was embarrassed to speak up."

"It's not that you don't have Ren Renfa's paintings in the Palace Museum, so don't compete with folk collectors like us who have few good things." Zheng Xiaowu was cheerful, obviously very happy.

What Xiao Yao took out was the "Portrait of Qianlong" by Castiglione Castiglione.

Wang Xiaoxian’s overestimation of this painting was 180 million yuan, and it was eventually snatched by Yu Zongwen at a price of 200 million yuan.

Wang Xiaoxian once again lost a final piece, and felt extremely painful.

After Xiao Yao took out the Qing Qianlong blue and white famille rose double-eared vase and the Yangcai Jiangshan Bandai Ruyier Pipa Zun made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xiaowu and Yu Zongwen accepted them as soon as they agreed. Wang Xiaoxian grabbed it.

With these two treasures worth more than 100 million yuan as the finale, Wang Xiaoxian finally made his trip worthwhile and was very satisfied.

Everyone thought that there were only so many antique works of art that Xiao Yao was going to transfer, but he did not expect that he took out another oil painting and placed it on the table.

After everyone's appreciation, Zhang Donggao said with some uncertainty: "This painting is in Picasso's style. Is this Picasso's original work?"

Zhang Donggao is not very good at Western oil painting, and he is not very confident in his appraisal.

Xiao Yao said: "There is Picasso's signature on the back of this painting."

This "Girl and the White Dove" was set in a frame. Without the consent of Xiao Yao, Zhang Donggao couldn't take apart the frame.

It turned out to be Picasso's original work. Yu Zongwen was overjoyed and said quickly: "I like collecting Western oil paintings, especially Picasso's works. I especially like this painting. Don't fight with me for this painting. I want it. "

"Picasso's works are too precious and rare. As long as the economy permits, everyone wants them. For Xiao, only public auctions are the most appropriate." Of course, Wang Xiaoxian does not want to miss such a heavyweight painting.

What else Yu Zongwen wanted to say, Xiao Yao hurriedly interjected: “This work is really not suitable for Mr. Yu to take over, or Mr. Wang is the most appropriate one. Just appraisal of this painting is not a simple matter. In fact, President Wang should have this ability."

If there is any doubt about the authenticity of a work, the price will be greatly reduced. Picasso’s work has never been circulated on the market. Only when it is handed over to Wang Xiaoxian to operate and invite major appraisal agencies to conduct appraisal together, will it not affect the price of this work.

What Xiao Yao said is very reasonable, and Yu Zongwen can only accept it. If it is a domestic antique artwork, he can still contact a bunch of trusted experts to do appraisal together, but appraisal of Western oil paintings, he really can't find an appraisal expert enough to reassure him.

If he can't 100% confirm that this work is authentic, he really doesn't dare to buy it.

Make sure this work will be sent for auction. Wang Xiaoxian was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

"There is one last one. After reading it, let's go to dinner together."

Xiao Yao turned around and hugged a box and placed it on the table.
