Live broadcast of treasure appraisal, congratulations to the eldest brother for getting the prison m

When Zhang Yang started to identify, the uncle had already started telling stories.

"I am a sailor, and the things in this box were all bought locally when I was abroad and when I got off the ship..."

"I prefer bronzes, and I can't tell the difference between domestic and foreign countries. I basically buy them at the largest local antique store..."

It turned out to be an old sailor, so that would explain why he used such an old yellow suitcase to store antiques.

There used to be suitcases like this in movies.

Zhang Yang gave the identification results to the uncle:

"The carving on this is the god of the forest from ancient Greece. I wonder if you have heard of it, sir?"

"Never heard of it, but I bought it in England."

What the uncle meant is, how did you buy Greek things in the UK?

"This is normal. In addition to Britain's own antiques, there are antiques from other places."

"I'm not sure how to value this thing. You can go to some foreign auction companies for consultation."

Zhang Yang considered that the other party often went overseas in the past, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask someone to find a foreign auction company.

But after listening to what he said, the uncle showed a troubled expression on his face:

"Expert teacher, can't you also auction it here?"

"I'm here today. In addition to appraisal, I also want to try to see if I can auction it off and exchange it for a better cemetery."

According to the uncle, buying a cemetery with a stone tablet in Shenghai costs at least 200,000 yuan.

Could the contents of the box be worth two hundred thousand?

Zhang Yang really didn’t know, he only knew:

If there is no explanation for ancient Greek bronzes, it would be really difficult to auction them in China.

So he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But when he caught a glimpse of another collection in the uncle's box, he decided to wait before making a decision.

Because it seemed to be a totem-like bronze vessel.

The device is about the size of a smartphone and is engraved with a winged figure with outstretched arms and a fan-like halo around its head.

It's obviously a statue of a god.

The back of the statue is flat with several holes punched in it, probably nailed to the wood as a decoration.

"Name: Statue of Usir, the Sun God"

"Production date: 479 BC"

"Detailed information: A statue of the Etruscan civilization, the sun god Usil, which was a decoration on an ancient chariot."

Etruscan civilization?

A big question mark appeared above Zhang Yang's head, which he had never heard of at all.

"Uncle, where did you buy this thing?"

Zhang Yang tried to get more specific information from the geographical location.

The uncle replied: "It's also in England."

This answer is tantamount to not saying anything.

"Wait a minute, I have to check some information."

[Experts checking information on site? It’s so unprofessional]

[It should be a small civilization in ancient Europe]

[Don’t think about it, it must be a Mediterranean civilization, it feels like ancient Greece]

[I used image recognition software, but it was not recognized]

Zhang Yang said wait a moment, only ten seconds at most.

"The Etruscan civilization was a civilization developed in the Italian Peninsula and Corsica from the 12th century BC to the 1st century BC... and was later assimilated by ancient Rome..."

And when he searched for the bronze statue of Usir, the sun god of this civilization, a picture popped up that was almost exactly the same as the uncle's.

The source of the image is: Hermitage.

That’s it!

This statue has a saying.

Zhang Yang knows very well, which auction items are the most popular? Of course it’s the same authentic piece from the museum.

Even if it is difficult to sell this kind of treasure in China, it will be fine to send it to Christie's.

Although the Hermitage has a low reputation in China and is not as hated as the British Museum, it is still one of the four major museums in the world, and the collection of cultural relics inside is certainly not bad.

In addition to the ancient culture of the Italian peninsula, the uncle’s collection also includes:

Bronze mice from ancient Rome, bronze candlesticks from the Kingdom of Urartu (ancient Turkish civilization), bronze cat heads from Egypt...

If he had not brought these antiques into the country by sailors in the early years, he would definitely be caught as an international cultural relic trafficker now.

Of course, in addition to these overseas cultural relics, there are also several domestic bronzes in the box.

Exporting to domestic sales is a routine operation.

The uncle was not spared either. Those pieces were all handicrafts exported from China in the last century.

But even if there are these few fake items, the cultural relic value and economic value of this box of uncle's things are considerable.

Two hundred thousand? two millions!

"Teacher, can this box of things be auctioned?" the uncle asked.

I have seen almost everything, so I have to give an explanation.

"Yes, of course." Zhang Yang answered firmly: "Except for these modern imitations."

Just at this time, the staff member who took the old lady to the police came back. Just register with her directly.

“Is that worth a cemetery?”

"More than that, it could be worth ten yuan."

"It's too much. I can't afford that much by myself." The uncle shook his head: "If there is any extra after selling it, expert, do you want it?"

"I'm still young..." A crow flew over Zhang Yang's head.

"But it's cheap now. It might cost half a million in a few years." The uncle's reason sounded very good.

"It's okay, I should be able to earn half a million." Zhang Yang replied confidently.

…

The next few treasure friends brought many imitations, among which the most imitated gilt bronze Buddha statues from the Qing Dynasty were mostly handicrafts from Shanxi Province.

Are there so many Buddhists in Shenghai?

Zhang Yang was a little confused and just thought:

Can you come up with something that is eye-catching?

The collection is too ordinary, and Baoyou is not harsh, so the audience in the live broadcast room is too lazy to post comments.

A middle-aged couple came up now, each holding a cylindrical object covered with a layer of black cloth.

When the cloth was uncovered, two green potted plants appeared in front of Zhang Yang.

[Hahahaha, have you started identifying plants yet? 】

【Green protects you】

[Can anchors identify flowers? 】

[It’s not bad, it’s red, green, and looks better than the all-color Buddha statues]

"This is not a potted plant." Zhang Yang told the barrage.

The thing was right in front of him, and he could see clearly that it was a fake potted plant with very complicated craftsmanship.

The bunches of purple and green grapes on top are colored glass beads;

The green leaves are all different in shape and size, and they are very lifelike, but if you look closely, you can see that they are metal leaves with color added;

As for the bamboo-like grape trellis and the branches of the grape itself, some places have been exposed, revealing the original brass color of the material;

The two little white jade figures under the grape trellis, one male and one female, hint at the meaning of this potted plant - more children, more blessings.

"This is a very famous [cloisonné and elephant bonsai]."

"This type of bonsai was a commonly used luxury decoration in the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it began to spread among the people."

"Is it passed down from ancestors or from an auction?" Zhang Yang asked.

In his mind, Baoyou's pair of bonsais from the 10th year of Guangxu's reign (1884) were already the items in this auction.

It's beautiful and precious, and antiques of the same type are still treasured in the Forbidden City.

"It's considered an ancestral inheritance. I bought it in a cultural relics store and kept it at home." The husband of the two treasure friends replied.

"That's great!"

Zhang Yang introduced the material of the thing one by one, and finally concluded with a thumbs up:

"To be able to buy such a treasure, the elders in your family must have been quite capable back then."

"Of course, my grandfather used to be in charge of the cultural relics store."

ah?

Dear friend, what do you mean by this?

Zhang Yang glanced at the barrage and saw that it was indeed going to explode.

The screen is full of: [Recommend checking]!

Thanks to the unbreakable virgin for the 100-coin reward!
