As mentioned before, using the depletion of carbon elements to identify antiques is not a very safe move.
Because it can only give an approximate estimate, and it only applies to porcelain, etc., not to paintings.
Even the authoritative institutions of collection will not regard the carbon element identification of antiques as a migration, just a reference.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no ways to identify these antiques.
Some real antique experts and brick-makers came into being.
But for ordinary people, these two characters are a bit difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Then someone came up with a bad idea.
You take your antiques, find seven or eight big stores near Huajing Liulichang to sell them, and ask them to estimate the price for you.
If more than two-thirds of them are optimistic and willing to give you a price, congratulations, your antique must be genuine.
If everyone tells you "it's hard to say", then your antiques are basically useless.
Because anyone who can open a store in Liulichang and still stand still for so many years must have a good appraiser.
I dare not say that it surpasses the National Museum, the Palace Museum, etc., but it is still better than those so-called experts who often appear on TV.
However, there are hundreds of large and small shops around Liulichang, a mixed bag of good and bad, and not all of them are reliable.
What people in the capital like most is to arrange a font size.
For example, the catering industry has eight buildings and eight residences, etc., so the antique industry must also have it.
Good ones like Rongbaozhai, which have been famous for their integrity since the Qing Dynasty. The things you buy are a little more expensive, but they are basically authentic. The authenticity mentioned here means relying on reputation. It is absolutely impossible to buy and sell antiques. I'll give you a letter.
There are also many antique shops with bad conscience.
Liulichang’s famous three gangsters are the shops that are notorious for using fake and shoddy goods to deceive people.
These three black houses are Dongyunzhai, Sendbao Tower and Dawangtang.
Antique players in the capital basically don't go to them to get it. Even if they see good things, they have to be very alert for fear of being cheated.
What they basically do is defraud foreigners, and some new entrants who want to buy antiques and make a fortune will also be deceived.
The same goes for collecting things.
Although the purchase prices offered by antique shops are not high, they are especially low. They also try to belittle your items and scare you, which makes many people lose confidence and sell them directly at low prices.
Hundreds of thousands or millions can be said by mouth!
So you ask, how powerful is a person’s mouth
Today, a strange guest came to Dongyunzhai.
The reason why he is strange is because he is wearing sunglasses, a hat and a mask, and his eyes are not exposed on his entire face.
At first, the big shopkeeper Wang Jun was a little scared, thinking that some robbers were coming.
But I thought wrong. The police station is 100 meters away from my place. There are people coming and going everywhere, and there are stalls on the open roads... In such a dense place, who would blindly steal things and commit a crime
So he calmed down and immediately understood what this man was doing.
Buy baby!
And they are selling treasures that cannot be seen in the light!
A smile appeared on Wang Jun's lips.
Which store here in Liulichang doesn't accept some shady stuff
Being shady means that the purchase price is cheap, but selling it is different, it is very expensive!
In this way, the profit is hundreds of thousands at least, and it can be more than millions or tens of millions.
It's just that Dongyunzhai has a bad reputation, and people may not be able to get really good things.
When Shen Huan saw the change in the expression on Wang Jun's face, he was a little confused, but he still placed the painting in his hand on the glass cabinet.
Wang Jun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Selling something?"
"Well, please give me a chance." Shen Huan said politely, like a Huajing native.
"Hey, you're still old Hua Jing!" Wang Jun said with a smile on his face. After putting on his gloves, he slowly opened the scroll.
Just one glance and his eyes lit up.
But he immediately covered it up. After looking at it slowly for about ten minutes, he shook his head: "The painting is good, but it is too simple and the size is not big... Do you want to sell it?"
Shen Huan smiled, "Boss, this is Wen Zhengming's Stone Lake picture copied by Zhang Daqian. It's written on the inscription! Do you want me to bring out the original Wen Zhengming Stone Lake picture and take a look to see if Zhang Daqian's painting skills are good? good?"
After being exposed by Shen Huan, Wang Jun shook his head again, "There are too many fakes in Zhang Daqian's paintings. I don't think your painting is genuine."
In order to disparage Shen Huan's paintings, he didn't even use honorifics.
"Oh, are you saying that his ink-splashing skills are not enough, or that the scratchy outlines will make everyone laugh?" Shen Huan said, "Wen Zhengming's paintings are originally pursuing a clear and ethereal quality. Zhang Daqian is above him, and It has improved some refreshing charm... Even if Wen Zhengming reincarnates, I can't say that such a painting can be sure to win. How come it seems to you that it is not authentic?"
Wang Jun's heart skipped a beat.
This is an expert!
Many people know the characteristics of Zhang Daqian's paintings, but to be able to comment specifically on this copy work shows that he has done some research.
"But no matter what, he is still a copy." Wang Jun continued to shake his head.
"Are there fewer places to collect Zhang Daqian's copied works?" Shen Huan said with a smile, "37 museums in the United States have collected his copied works, and 32 of them know that they are copied works... These museums can collect and display them openly. Are you worthless here? Well, I’ll take my leave!”
With that said, Shen Huan reached out to pick up the painting.
"Don't be anxious, little brother!" Wang Jun laughed and stopped Shen Huan with his hand, "I'm just saying this... look at this painting, how much do you want?"
"Then I'll give you a price!" Shen Huan raised her hand and signaled him to bid in jargon.
Wang Jun hesitated for a while. Although this young man was hiding his head and tail, the things he brought out were indeed very good.
This copy of Zhang Daqian's painting by Wen Zhengming is over 1.7 meters x 1.5 meters in size, which is considered a medium-sized painting.
If it is true, according to the normal auction price, it should be at least around 40 million to 50 million. Even if it is sold privately, the price will not be less than 30 million.
If someone comes to fight for it, I'm afraid the price will increase by another three to five million privately.
Of course, Wang Jun also confirmed again and again that this should be the real thing!
If this kid didn't understand anything, Wang Jun would dare to ask for 100,000 yuan, and then slowly increase the price to 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.
But it is obvious that the person is very knowledgeable and knows the market price, so it is a bit difficult to deceive!
