After appraising the bronze statue of Caesar created by Bernini, Xiao Ran ordered his employees to move the bronze sculpture aside to take photos and register the information.
After completing the registration and numbering process, several employees put the bronze sculpture into an aluminum alloy box and moved it aside.
Next, Xiao Ran continued to dismantle these treasures from the Habsburg-Lorraine court of the Holy Roman Empire.
Matthew and several employees transferred the many treasures brought up from the underground palace to this room one by one.
When Xiao Ran took apart the tightly wrapped picture frames one by one, he pried open the crates one by one.
Many precious antique works of art that have been hidden for more than two hundred years have finally reappeared and appeared in front of the world again.
"Hey! This is a portrait of Queen Teresa of the Holy Roman Empire. It looks like a work by Fragonard, the master of rococo art."
"This is the work of Anthony Van Dyke, "Prince Don Fernando, Bishop of Austria". Anthony Van Dyke created two paintings of the same theme, which are clearly recorded in relevant historical documents."
"Wow! This is Dürer's "Madonna of the Rocks". I didn't expect that this famous painting from the Renaissance period would actually fall into the hands of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, and was later snatched away by Napoleon and hidden here."
"If I read it correctly, this bronze sculpture should be the work of the famous sculpture master Falcone, another top-notch work of art."
Through Xiao Ran's hands, these antique works of art that had been hidden for more than two hundred years were presented to everyone one by one.
Without exception, these antique works of art are all made by famous artists, and each piece is valuable.
With the appearance of these antique works of art, in the appraisal room and the hall outside, as well as in front of countless live broadcasts, exclamations in various languages and accents continued to sound.
While people were amazed, they were also envious and envious.
But they can only watch the live broadcast with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and can do nothing else.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around 10:30 pm.
Most of the treasures recovered from the room bearing the name of the Austrian Habsburg-Lorraine family have been identified.
The remaining dozen treasures have been moved into the appraisal room, waiting for Xiao Ran and the others to conduct appraisal.
While talking, Xiao Ran took out a picture frame again and prepared to continue dismantling it.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly saw it.
Although Pierre and the others were still very excited and their eyes were shining, their faces showed a bit of exhaustion.
They are all young, and it is normal for them to be exhausted after working in a highly excited state for several hours.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran immediately stopped what he was doing and said with concern:
"Gentlemen, I see that you are all very tired. Would you like to go out and rest for a while? Let other antique art appraisal experts come in."
"I have said before that this will be a marathon appraisal event. With your age and body, it is impossible to persist to the end."
"There are many rooms in this apartment building. My staff has decorated some of the rooms. You can go and rest for a few hours."
"When your mental state has completely recovered, it won't be too late for you to participate in subsequent appraisal activities. There are plenty of opportunities, so there is no need to hold on here."
Hearing this, Henry and Pierre paused.
Then, the French guys looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"That's okay, Sean. We are indeed a little tired. We can't compare with you, a guy who never seems to know how to be tired."
"Then let's go and rest first. After we have rested, we will come with you to identify the treasures in the other rooms."
After saying that, these guys took off their gloves and walked out of the identification room door.
Xiao Ran put down the picture frame in his hand and walked out of the appraisal room together.
When he came outside, he ordered his employees to arrange accommodation for Henry and Pierre so that these guys could rest.
I went to the lobby on the first floor and chatted with Elaine and the others to relax my nerves.
Seeing him coming, Elaine immediately poured him a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and then whispered with concern:
"Dear, you have been working continuously for more than ten hours, and the rest time in between is very short. Do you want to suspend the identification work and take a good rest for a few hours?"
"There are so many things in Napoleon's treasure that it won't be possible to identify them all in a short time. In this case, why rush the time? Just take your time and identify them."
Xiao Ran picked up the coffee and took a few sips, then turned off the live broadcast microphone and took off the camera. Then he shook his head slightly and said:
"You also know the situation outside. It is very complicated and contains countless dangers. An accident may happen at any time."
"In this case, I can only complete the identification of Napoleon's treasure as soon as possible. The sooner I can complete it, the better, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares."
"After completing the appraisal work, we can transport all the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures in Napoleon's treasure to the Musée d'Orsay."
"At that time, it's not too late to take a good rest. There's nothing wrong with my current condition. It's easy to do an all-night appraisal."
"After Pierre and the others go to rest, I plan to speed up the identification and stop doing so many explanations and introductions. It is a waste of time."
Elaine paused, then chuckled.
"I understand. You have been taking care of Pierre and the others before, so you have done a lot of explanations and introductions, and the identification speed is also relatively slow."
"The next appraisal experts who enter the appraisal room will not be treated like Pierre and others. They are just witnesses."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"That's what it means, I don't plan to waste any more time." Next, my appraisal speed will be as fast as flying. Just wait and see! "
Hearing what he said, Elaine and Fang Yufei laughed.
Then we chatted for a few more words, and after drinking coffee
Xiao Ran then stood up and walked towards the second wave of antique art appraisal experts who were about to enter the appraisal room.
When he came closer, he looked at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, everyone can enter the appraisal room and follow me to complete the next phase of the appraisal work."
"After entering the appraisal room, everyone must obey my instructions, do not act without authorization, and do not touch the things that have just been moved into the appraisal room at will."
Before he finished speaking, these French antique art appraisal experts and archaeologists immediately responded in unison:
"No problem Sean, we know what to do"
"Well, gentlemen, please follow me."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
With that said, he was about to take these substitute experts into the appraisal room.
At this moment, Anthony suddenly came closer and whispered to him:
"Sean, the guy staying at the hotel just reported that some guys tried to sneak into the hotel under the cover of night."
"Some sneaky guys were also found around the Musée d'Orsay, probably heading for the underground vault of the museum."
Hearing the news, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer.
"Obviously, some fools think that our focus is here, and everyone's attention has been drawn here. They think that the hotel and the Musée d'Orsay have neglected to take precautions and take advantage of it!"
"Now that we have found traces of those idiots, immediately notify the Paris police and let the police deal with those guys. We can just stand aside and watch the fun."
"Besides, don't forget to notify the Musée d'Orsay so that the trash in the museum can also be vigilant and active. Don't let our guys always protect those trash snacks."
"Hahaha, I will notify those French guys to pay attention"
Anthony smiled and nodded and immediately took action.
Xiao Ran took several substitute appraisal experts into the appraiser and continued to appraise the other antiques and artworks.
