Saint-Ouan, Sebet Market.
This is a sub-market in the Saint-Ouan Antique Market, known as the most stylish market.
In this branch market, all kinds of high-end silverware, antique artifacts and artworks, various jewelry, tableware, travel accessories and so on are sold from the Middle Ages to the 1970s.
There are many antique dealers in the market, and many of them have been stationed here for a long time, even for hundreds of years.
Since there are a large number of professionals from all over the world gathered here, many shop owners are crazy.
In quite a few of these stores, only knowledgeable experts and enthusiasts dare to visit. Some stores even have notices hanging at the door stating that they only accept professionals.
If ordinary tourists go in, the shopkeeper may not pay attention to you at all.
What Xiao Ran wanted to visit today was the Saibet Market, and he planned to sweep this market away.
As a group of them entered the market, there was an immediate commotion in Seibert Market.
Many merchants and stall owners operating in the market, as well as many customers, turned to look at them.
Because of their different positions, the eyes of these guys are also different.
Those tourists who come to Taobao to shop are full of curiosity and excitement.
Many antique dealers and stall owners doing business in the Saibet Market have worried eyes.
"Look! It's that lucky guy Sean. There's something good to watch today. This guy might be able to find a few priceless top-notch antiques and artworks."
"Damn it! This greedy bastard has made it clear that he wants to completely wipe out the Saint-Ouan Antique Market. It seems that the Sebet Market will suffer the same fate as the Byron Market today."
People started talking, either curious or worried.
Xiao Ran was as normal as a normal person. He was joking and chatting with Elaine and the others while looking at the things on the roadside stalls.
At the entrance of Seibert Market, there are several stalls with many things on them.
There are silverware, mirrors, antique suitcases, tableware, as well as some sculptures and paintings, etc. Many things have a certain history.
Of course, these stalls also sell tourist souvenirs, modern handicrafts, as well as imitations and fakes.
Xiao Ran just glanced at these things, and none of them were worthy of him stopping to look at and appreciate, let alone take action.
While they were talking, several of them had arrived at the door of the first shop in the market.
In front of this antique store, there is a sign.
It clearly says on it that only professionals are welcome.
In the window on one side of the door, there is a landscape oil painting and a pair of exquisite rococo style table lamps.
Arriving at the door of the antique store, Xiao Ran looked at the notice board, then looked inside the antique store, and then said with a smile:
“It seems like this is a very professional store and the owner is very confident.”
"In this case, we must go in and take a look. We might find something surprising."
"There seems to be a lot of stuff in the store, and the space is not big. Anthony, you don't need to follow us. Safety is not a problem."
With that said, he took Elaine and the others towards the store.
Anthony responded and led someone to stay outside to guard.
Before Xiao Ran and the others entered the antique store, the owner had already opened the door and welcomed them out.
The moment he saw Xiao Ran, the guy's facial muscles twitched obviously, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
Then, he smiled and said hello politely.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am Leonard. Welcome to visit my store. Nice to meet you."
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and nodded politely.
"Good morning, Mr. Leonard, nice to meet you too"
"Your antique store looks very nice, and the sign at the door also attracted me."
"It shows that your antique store is very professional. I wonder if we can go in and take a look?"
As he said that, he bumped elbows with Leonard.
I really want to shut out this greedy guy like you, but can I stop you?
Leonard complained secretly, and then nodded.
"Of course, no problem, Mr. Sean, of course you can come in and visit, you are very welcome."
As he said this, the guy made a gesture of invitation.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others into the antique store.
After entering, he took a quick glance at the antique store.
There are so many items in this antique store that they fill almost every corner.
And the things are very miscellaneous, including sculptures, oil paintings, silverware, furniture, clocks, etc., there is a dazzling array of things.
Most of these items are genuine antiques, with very few fakes and imitations.
It’s just that these things have different values and quality.
After scanning the store, Xiao Ran smiled and said:
"Leonard, no wonder you put a sign at the door that only accepts professionals. The things in your store are indeed very good."
"It seems that our visit to Seibert Market today was a very correct decision. I hope we can find something here."
Hearing his words, Leonard couldn't help but a glint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, this guy said politely:
"My antique shop has been in business for more than sixty years and has been passed down by two generations."
"We have collected these items in the store one after another, and the quality is pretty good."
"If you like something, I can introduce it to you."
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at this guy, and then shook his head.
"No need to bother, Leonard, you can go about your business and let's take a look."
“If there is something you don’t know or need an introduction, we will say hello to you.”
Leonard paused and could only nod.
"Okay, Sean, you can do whatever you want, I'll order some coffee."
After saying that, the guy walked aside to make a phone call, but his eyes were always fixed on Xiao Ran's every move.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then walked with Elaine to the display stand next to her and began to appreciate the things displayed on this display stand.
There are a lot of silverware on this display rack, including tableware, decorations, etc., most of which are very exquisite.
After standing still, Xiao Ran quickly glanced at the many silverware on the display rack, then picked up an exquisite sterling silver jewelry box and admired it.
This jewelry box is engraved with many complex and exquisite patterns and patterns, and is also inlaid with some beautiful shells.
When Xiao Ran turned the jewelry box over, a badge engraved on the bottom immediately appeared.
This is a shield-shaped badge with three fleur-de-lis, which is very eye-catching.
Seeing this shield-shaped badge, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause, and then whispered:
"Hey! I didn't expect this silver jewelry box to come from the Bourbon Dynasty, with the coat of arms of the Bourbon Dynasty engraved on it."
"But the history of this silver jewelry box should be no more than a hundred years, which can be seen from the degree of oxidation on the surface."
"Modern cutting equipment was used in the manufacturing process of this silver jewelry box, which is inappropriate."
Before she finished speaking, Elaine had already poked her head over and looked at the silver jewelry box.
Then, she smiled and shook her head.
"Dear, this silver jewelry box comes from the Bourbon dynasty, yes, but it is not the French Bourbon dynasty, but the Spanish Bourbon dynasty."
"In France, the rule of the Bourbons was overthrown long ago, but the rule of the Spanish Bourbons continues to this day."
“Historically, the Spanish Bourbon dynasty has been restored several times, and the current King of Spain, Philip VI, comes from the Bourbon dynasty.”
"One more thing, although the coats of arms of the French Bourbon dynasty and the Spanish Bourbon dynasty both have three fleur-de-lis, there are still some differences."
Next, she briefly introduced the differences between the two badges.
Xiao Ran actually knew what she said very well.
At this time, the communication between him and Elaine was nothing more than a performance.
