Everyone present was surprised. Just by looking at the pulp, they knew that the bookcase was old.
The treasure friends in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded.
"Such a big sea yellow? Avocado or bran pear?"
"Are those grimace lines?"
"This bag of paste... is at least two hundred years old. How much is it worth?"
He Ren also recovered from the shock. He just opened his treasure appraisal eyes and saw that it was not two hundred years, but more than three hundred years.
Name: Ming Hainan Huanghuali Head Case
Years: three hundred and fifty-three years
But the Treasure Appraisal Eye can only provide reference. If it is true, it was made in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, and it will definitely not be worth millions.
Two years ago, the auction house sold a giant huanghuali from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which sold for 115 million!
The case is 4.53 meters long, 56 centimeters wide, and 93 centimeters high. The total weight is close to 300 kilograms. The whole body is full of huanghuali. The case is a single board. It is just the material of the case. It must be more than a thousand years old, otherwise it would not be possible. It's so big that it can be called a unique piece handed down from generation to generation.
It is also a popular case in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it was sold for more than 30 million yuan ten years ago.
However, the high-profile case is also the largest in existence. The case is only three meters long, and it is also a single board. Although it is not as good as the previous case, the materials are hundreds of years older.
The hot-button case in front of him was different. He Ren introduced in a low voice, "You can tell it's a bran pear just by looking at the color and oiliness, which is a bit of a pity. Although they are all huanghuali, they are not unique, which is also a pity. They must be quite old. , within two or three hundred years, there would have been no such thing."
"The craftsmanship is very good. Although it is a standard structure for a tilted-head desk, the tilted-top and the two ends of the desk are joined together with mortise and tenon joints, which just covers the texture at both ends. The craftsmanship of the tooth bars is quite unique. The front of the tooth bars on the longer side is The two sides are connected, and the back is half-connected, which is rare..."
He Ren introduced in a low voice, but Mr. Peng heard it clearly, "This guy also knows about furniture?"
He Ren chuckled, "I understand a little, I understand a little."
Mr. Peng didn't say much. He was very rule-abiding and let the guests make their own decisions.
In fact, there is nothing to judge. Even if this high-profile case is not a one-man business, it is not a pear, but it is at least an eight-figure starting price. He Ren simply does not have the strength to win it.
Not only him, but Wei Ruixiang and Yan Hua also nodded and shook their heads. They were capable of winning, and they were probably weighing whether it was worthwhile to win a table with eight figures.
Jiang Chen was much more active at this time. He was chatting with Zhu Youcai there and was so happy that he had to pay for it himself.
In fact, the only one in the audience who had the strength to win easily was Zhu Youcai, but he waved his hand and signaled for others to bid first.
While Wei Ruixiang and Yan Hua were thinking about it, He Ren did not forget about Zhang Hanyu and dialed his number directly. As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Hanyu asked, "Brother He, I am watching your live broadcast, can you confirm the authenticity? ?”
The treasure appraisal eye cannot determine the authenticity, but He Ren has been able to confirm that it is genuine through observation. He said confidently, "It should be no problem, but unfortunately it is not a single board, and the texture is also a grimace pattern, and the price is difficult to reach the second edition. "
When He Ren called Zhang Hanyu, Baoyou also heard it, and they looked confused.
"What does it mean to open twice?"
“Isn’t the grimace tattoo the most expensive?”
"Who is the anchor tipping off?"
Taking advantage of Zhang Hanyu's consideration, He Ren explained with a smile, "Let's not talk about the price for now. Grimace lines are not the most expensive. When appraising huanghuali, there is a saying called 'one tumor, two numbness, three grimaces', which refers to the lines. .”
"Turns are scars, which are woody knots that grow out of tree lesions. They are relatively dense and have a high oil content. They are treasures and can only be found on wild sea yellow trees."
"Ma refers to sesame spots, which are black spots similar to black sesame on the surface of the wood. They are also caused by lesions. There are more of these."
"The most common ones are grimace lines. During the growth process, seaweed will grow many new buds. In order to compete for sunlight and nutrients, the new buds will constantly compete. Those who win the competition will grow into new trunks, and those who fail will be Wrap it up, and then a scar will form, and this scar is what we often call grimace lines.”
"To use an inappropriate metaphor, tumors are malignant tumors, numbness is benign tumors, and grimaces are minor problems that almost everyone has and do not affect growth."
The treasure friends suddenly realized.
"You mean the sicker you are, the more expensive it is?"
He Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Baoyou's summary was quite reliable...
Zhang Hanyu has almost thought about it, "Brother He, if it doesn't exceed 12 million, you can help me get it. I will ask my assistant to go directly there tomorrow."
He Ren agreed, but he was not very optimistic about it. He wanted 12 million. This long-awaited case could sell for at least 15 million at the auction, but it was a little troublesome.
But He Ren can also understand. After all, Zhang Hanyu is not a popular actor and has not acted in a TV series for several years. Making money is not that easy.
There is still a family to support. Of course, the value of buying it will increase, but with Zhang Hanyu's character, he probably won't sell it. It will be just a decoration...
Sure enough, before it was He Ren's turn to bid, Yan Hua won the long-awaited case for 15 million, presumably to use it as a treasure.
After Yan Hua raised the price, no one else bid. He bowed his hands to several people and went to sign an agreement with Mr. Peng. With such a high price, it was naturally impossible to pay in cash, and there was a limit on transfers. We had to make an appointment to go together. Bank transactions.
Only Jiang Chen was a little disappointed. He glanced at Zhu Youcai and whispered something in his ear, but was glared at by Zhu Youcai.
He Ren looked amused. Jiang Chen probably felt that Zhu Youcai had missed some treasure, but he didn't know that this house was the biggest treasure. What was a bookcase? The pattern is really not big.
"Brother He, Brother He."
Wei Ruixiang greeted twice at this time, and He Ren walked over and asked in a low voice, "Boss Wei, what's wrong?"
"Look at these sets of chairs, don't they look a little strange?"
Wei Ruixiang was not talking about the chair behind the desk, but the eight sets of twelve chairs on both sides for guests.
The matching is also quite interesting. On one side are eight armchairs and on the other side are four Nanguan hat chairs, facing each other. There is a small coffee table in the middle of every two chairs, which looks a bit awkward.
Generally speaking, in Ming-style furniture, eight chairs and four tables are called a hall, and four chairs and two tables are called a half hall.
However, four Nanguanmao chairs can form a hall. For example, the red sandalwood fan-shaped Nanguanmao chair collected by the Shanghai Museum of Art is a top chair directly opposite, and then four chairs form a hall.
That's why Wei Ruixiang found it a little strange. The layout here seemed to be that Mr. Peng put the furniture from two rooms into one room.
Moreover, the material of the eight armchairs is Hainan huanghuali, also from the Ming Dynasty, which matches the calligraphy desk.
These four Nanguanmao chairs are very mismatched, especially the materials. Not only do they have nothing to do with huanghuali, they are not even hardwood, but softwood...
