Treasure Evaluation Life

However, this Tang Dynasty silver smoked ball also has one bad thing, that is, its surface should have been specially cleaned by the original owner or Erdan, which destroyed some traces and slurry on it.

You know, the reason why antiques are valuable is not only the craftsmanship, but also the age. Baojiang is the evidence that the objects have aged over a long period of time, and the objects with Baojiang look more warm and introverted.

If you wash it, it's not a pity. For some collectors, things are less attractive, which will undoubtedly destroy the value of things.

Of course, there are also some people who like to wash the surface and the slurry off because of their hobbies or like to buy old gold and silver in order to wear things. For these people, the value of this silver smoked ball will not be affected much.

For Chu Chen, this kind of behavior is very regrettable. Baojiang is the value of the old gold and silver ware. If he really cares about Baojiang, he is advised not to buy old gold and silver ware. In the final analysis, the old gold and silver ware is also a second-hand one. There is no freshness from new ones.

What's more, after several people or generations of people come to you, there are always one or two stories. It's nice to treasure it in the cupboard, and occasionally take it out and rub it carefully when you're free. If you wash it, it doesn't taste like that.

In addition, in addition to the slurry, the silver smoked ball may also be unearthed traces. According to the introduction of Erdan by Hu Yong and his son yesterday, Chu Chen felt that this possibility was undoubtedly greater.

However, even if the silver smoked ball was unearthed not long ago, because the traces have been cleared, there is no evidence. This is also the problem of how to prove that the cultural relics in the hands of collectors are obtained by illegal means, not from the market, or from the family, or from other legal means.

According to the law on cultural relics, cultural relics dug up by oneself or obtained by illegal means belong to the state. However, cultural relics collected by the people are protected by law if they come from such legal channels as "inheriting or accepting gifts according to law", "purchasing from cultural relics shops", "purchasing from auction enterprises operating cultural relics auction".

Let's not discuss whether the relevant provisions in the cultural relics law are reasonable or not. Now the problem is that some of the provisions lead to an antique. Some people may say that it was uploaded by the ancestor, some say it was stolen from the tomb, and others say it was bought in the legal market. It is difficult for you to define which one is true, so there are many grey areas.

If you say you are not good at judging, ask experts to help you identify. But the reality is that according to the current identification technology, it is easy to identify the cultural relics that have been unearthed for a long time. Once they have been unearthed for a long time, it is more difficult to distinguish whether they are unearthed or handed down.

For example, if you want to identify whether an object is an unearthed cultural relic, the relevant national experts will come forward to identify it for you according to the legal procedures when it comes to legal issues, what kind of cultural relic it is, the value of cultural relics, and so on. If administrative law enforcement is not involved, these people will not care.

And then invite relevant experts to identify through archaeological research and paleontology research. Some of them can determine the location or origin of these things, while others can not.

As a result, in the context of the temptation of huge profits, some collectors make use of the current bottleneck of identification to make up stories, and say that illegal cultural relics are handed down from family to their own, thus contributing to the arrogance of some criminals.

To get back to the point, the silver smoked ball in Chu Chen's hand is probably a cultural relic that has just been unearthed. For fear of problems, it has cleaned out the surface features. In this way, it can be said that it is handed down from family and evades legal responsibility.

Of course, this smoked ball is made of silver. For some people, it doesn't matter if the surface has been cleaned. If it's bronze or porcelain, if you clean it like this, it will cost a lot.

But even so, for boss Xu, this is also a good reason to bargain, thus directly cutting a quarter of the price.

This makes Erdan's flesh ache. He can get income by commission. The higher the price of things, the more income he will get. Part of the price cut by boss Xu is his money. Do you think he can avoid flesh ache! Fortunately, because boss Xu is afraid of taking advantage of Chu Chen, his subordinates also leave a feeling, otherwise he must be more depressed.

In addition to this silver smoked ball, there are still two things left on the table. They are all four treasures of the study. They are an inkstone and an ivory brush. These two things are both in the late Qing Dynasty, which are easy to identify. Boss Xu didn't ask Chu Chen for help, so he took them all directly.

Boss Xu's actions made chuchen feel a little upset. Why do you think this is? It turned out that boss Xu was too independent. He bought the last two things without being polite to Chu Chen.

If you want to say that things are very precious, or you have no friendship with Chu Chen, it's nothing to do. But these two kinds of things are ordinary goods, which add up to only 15 thousand. What's more, Chu Chen helped to identify the silver smoked ball just now, and there was some friendship between the two sides.

In this case, boss Xu asked Chu Chen before buying? Even if Chu Chen likes it, the combined income of the two things is just a small sum of money for boss Xu. It doesn't hurt to be a human being. It also makes Chu Chen feel that he is generous. Why not?What's more, after the appraisal of the silver smoked ball just now, the boss Xu didn't even say anything. It seems that it is natural for Chu Chen to help him identify it, which is quite different from the enthusiasm just now. Do you think chuchen will feel comfortable?

Maybe some friends will say, since Chu Chen and boss Xu are competitive now, why did he help identify just now?

The reason is also simple. It doesn't depend on how enthusiastic boss Xu was just now. Chu Chen never thought that the other party would be so quick. And even if Chu Chen doesn't help, it's estimated that boss Xu will buy things. In this case, Chu Chen looked at it as a mark, so he didn't think much about it at that time, so he agreed.

Now I find that boss Xu has such a character. Chuchen feels like eating a fly.

After talking about the price, boss Xu was in a good mood, but he was not satisfied. He said to Erdan with a smile: "brother Hu, boss Cao said before he came here that there are 17 or 8 good things here. How can you take out these common things now?"

Er Dan said with a smile: "boss Xu, what you said is too exaggerated. If there are really 17 or 8 good things, I would have sold them in the city and bought a house. How can I keep them until now?"

Boss Xu said with a smile, "I'm kidding, but you don't have only three things, do you?"

Erdan said with a smile: "OK, since Mr. Chu is also here, I'll take out a few more things..."

Then he turned and walked into the inner room.

At this time, boss Xu said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I have just stepped into this line, and I don't have many good things in my hand. Can you let me have a look later?"

Chu Chen is a bit embarrassed when he hears the speech. Boss Xu's self feeling is too good. We just know each other. Why does he ask for it? And since you ask for it, you can give some compensation in other aspects. If there is nothing, you just want others to act according to your ideas. Is it possible?

Not to mention Chu Chen was upset, even master yuan frowned and thought boss Xu was too bad to be a man.

Chuchen said with a faint smile: "boss Xu, you know I'm from Beijing. I'm not easy to come here. Can't I come back empty handed?"

Boss Xu frowned and said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, let's be flexible. For an expert like you, a few good things are not easy to catch."

Chu Chen smiled as like as two peas. "The quality of antiques is quite a lot, but these products are unique and rare. Like the fragrant fumigation you bought just now, they missed the same thing in the future."

Although chuchen's words are euphemistic, boss Xu can still hear the meaning. A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He said with a smile: "teacher Chu, we will rely on our own abilities in that moment. What do you think?"

"Yes." Mr. Xu's idea is nothing more than the one with the highest price. Chu Chen is not afraid of fighting for money. He can pit Mr. Xu when he has a chance. It can be said that Mr. Xu's proposal is just right for him and is also in line with the seller's mind.

Therefore, Cao Xiaoliu, standing next to him, was very happy to see that things had turned out like this. If Erdan knew, he would not regret bringing chuchen in.

After a while, Erdan came out of the inner room with two boxes in his hand. Now that Chu Chen was there, Erdan wanted to send Chu Chen away early so that Chu Chen would not see anything.

But to Erdan's surprise, when he opened the box and asked Chu Chen to identify them, he saw Cao Xiaoliu winking at him secretly and asking him to take more pieces out, which made him somewhat confused. But he couldn't figure it out. He didn't dare to listen to Cao Xiaoliu's orders, so he had to press the doubts in his heart. After saying hello, he went back to the inner room.

As I said earlier, Erdan has a flexible mind. After he enters the room, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong he feels. Can't he be wrong? So he took out his mobile phone and sent a short message to Cao Xiaoliu. When he called, everyone would pay attention and send a short message to ask, then it would not be.

"Take more, they won't deal with it."

Soon, Cao Xiaoliu sent a short message. When Erdan looked at it, he felt even more strange. They were not well just now, and boss Xu was so enthusiastic. How could the relationship between the two sides become like this in a twinkling of an eye?
