Chapter 377
Before I knew it, it was already evening, and it was getting dark.
The clean-up of the room has also come to an end.
At this time, the two mahogany shelves were empty, and there was not a single thing left, not even a piece of paper.
The antique artifacts and artworks that were originally placed on the shelves of these two museums have been cleared out.
The many paintings and calligraphy hanging on the surrounding walls, as well as various antique artifacts and works of art on the floor, were also cleared out and moved to the living room.
Among these antique relics and artworks, there are paintings by Li and Tang of the Southern Song Dynasty, calligraphy by Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, porcelain from the Ding Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and so on.
There are also Buddha statues from the Longmen Grottoes, exquisite jade objects from the palace, ancient rare books that exude a burst of ink, and obscure ancient inscriptions.
All these antique works of art, each of which is worth a lot and is rare in the world.
Their combined value is even more amazing, enough to make countless people crazy.
After Xiao Ran cleaned up these treasures from the room, Nick and them, who stayed outside, immediately took pictures, registered, packaged, boxed and other operations.
As the hours passed, the living room was filled with boxes of all sizes, and everyone was almost out of nowhere to go.
In the middle of these cases, there are many portable safes of various sizes, as well as many alloy suitcases with larger capacities.
Without exception, all these boxes have seals attached to them.
There was also a note about what was in the box.
In the room.
Xiao Ran was squatting on the ground, pretending to carefully identify the two pieces of porcelain placed on the floor.
These are the last two antique works of art left in the room, too large and heavy to fit on a museum shelf, only on the floor.
Also on the scene were Thomas and Scott.
At this time, their eyes were a little red, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
The two pieces of porcelain placed on the floor are both famous blue and white porcelain.
These two pieces of blue and white porcelain are very large, one is a large jar with blue and white entwined lotus patterns, and the other is a blue and white double dragon play pearl vase.
Although they are all blue and white porcelain, if you look closely, you will find that there are still many differences between these two blue and white porcelain.
In addition to the different types, the biggest difference between them lies in the difference in fetal quality and blue and white hair color, and the difference is obvious.
In comparison, the fetal quality of the blue and white lotus pattern large jar is a little more delicate.
The blue and white hair color is elegant, with some halo effect, and the glaze has high brightness, giving people a sense of lusterity.
The blue and white double dragon play pearl vase has a thick carcass, and the fetal quality is thicker, and the blue and white hair color is emerald green and intense, less fainting.
There are some black spots on the surface of the utensils, blue in blue, and there is a rich and colorful unrestrained beauty.
In the ornamental painting, the two pieces of blue and white porcelain are also different.
The ornaments on the surface of the large pot with a lotus pattern are more delicate, and the dragon pattern on the surface of the Double Dragon Play Pearl Vase is more unrestrained and free!
Looking at these two blue and white porcelains, both Xiao Ran and Thomas were full of intoxication.
After admiring it for a long time, they came to their senses one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Scott asked expectantly:
"Sean, what do you think of these two blue and white porcelain?"
"If you can, can we have the appraisal experts of our auction house come and take a look at these two blue and white porcelains?"
Before the words fell, Charles immediately continued:
"I have the same idea, Sean, let our appraisal experts come over and take a look
" "As for the appraisal fee, we don't charge a penny!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but complain secretly angrily:
"If you want to collect Lao Tzu's appraisal fee, dream of it!"
"Now you beg Lao Tzu, not Lao Tzu begs you, don't make a mistake!"
He looked at the two old friends, smiled and shook his head.
"Ask your appraisal expert to come and appraise?" I think it's better to forget it, there is no need for
this" "I said before, I will not sell these porcelains, but prepare to collect them myself
" "The appraisal of all the antique artworks in this room, I am ready to hire the top team in Beijing to appraise!"
"The reason is simple, these antique works of art are all from China, only Chinese understand them best!"
Hearing this, Scott and their faces flashed with disappointment.
Thomas, who was standing on the side, had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes in addition to disappointment.
This is a treasure trove in Manhattan, New York, with so many top antique artifacts and artworks that the Met Museum of Art doesn't get a single one!
Faced with such a result, how could he be willing?
However, none of them said anything more, but continued to listen.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"Let's talk about my opinion on these two blue and white porcelains, you can listen to them, you don't have to take them seriously
" "Judging from the performance of the fetal quality, blue and white hair color, ornamental painting methods and other aspects of these two blue and white porcelain, they are Yuan Qinghua and Yongle Blue Flowers
" "Specifically, this blue and white lotus pattern jar is a Yongle blue flower, and this blue and white double dragon play bead vase is a Yuan blue flower"
"Regarding the identification points of Yongle blue and white and Yuan blue and white flowers, everyone can find out, and there are also many utensils that can be compared, such as the Great Weide vase
" "You can compare with those known blue and white porcelain, I believe that the answer will be found soon
" "If my identification is accurate, then there is no doubt that these two blue and white porcelain are extremely valuable and very rare!"
As the words fell, Thomas and they were all shocked at once.
"Wow! It is actually the famous Yongle blue flower and Yuan blue flower, which is incredible! While
exclaiming, these guys' eyes became even redder.
Although they had long expected that this result might be the result, they were still shocked to hear the identification conclusion given by Xiao Ran!
What is the position of Yuanqinghua and Yongle Qinghua in the current market, and what is the price, they know very well.
Especially the scarce number of yuan blue flowers, each piece is worth a lot!
For the identification conclusion given by Xiao Ran, they did not have the slightest doubt!
Since he said that this is Yuan Qinghua and Yongle Qinghua, then there is no doubt about it!
The reason why Thomas and them are so determined is entirely because of Xiao Ran's previous series of divine performances.
After some exclamation, the director of MOMA suddenly said in surprise: "
Why would Lu Qinzhai leave such high value of Yuanqinghua and Yongle Qinghua to his servants?"
"Instead of disposing of it when liquidating, or taking it to Europe? I don't quite understand!
Xiao Ran looked at this, and then explained:
"Yuan Qinghua and Yongle blue and white are really recognized by the market, and the price has skyrocketed, but it is only a matter of the past twenty or thirty years
" "Before the fifties of the last century, the collection market did not recognize blue and white porcelain
" "Especially Yuan Qinghua, there is no concept, people don't even know the existence of Yuan Qinghua
" "In this case, even Lu Qinzhai, I don't know the true value of these two pieces of blue and white porcelain, so naturally I won't pay attention to them
" Hearing this, Scott suddenly said:
"Yes! How did I forget this stubble, in 1950, Dr. Popper proposed the concept of 'Zhizheng' Yuan Qinghua
", "From the concept proposed, and then to be recognized by the collection market, decades have passed
" "Lu Qinzhai ended the antique business in the early fifties, naturally did not recognize the great value of blue and white porcelain!"
Xiao Ran nodded and continued:
"The chef who got these two pieces of blue and white porcelain is not only Lu Qinzhai's servant, but also his junior
" "That chef has served him for more than ten years, and he is a distant nephew of his partner, and the relationship is relatively close
" "Maybe because of this, Lu Qinzhai left so many treasures to that chef
" "It is not ruled out that there is another possibility, he wants to leave these things in New York, Leave a way back, or part of the capital for a comeback!
"Unfortunately, he died in Switzerland within a few years, and these treasures fell silent,"
Thomas and they all nodded at hearing this explanation.
"That's right, maybe it's really possible
" "A big antique dealer like Lu Qinzhai has countless top antique relics and works of art in his hands
" "It is easy for him to hide such a batch of treasures"
Then chatted a few more words, Xiao Ran invited Thomas and them out of this room.
Then, he carefully moved the two pieces of blue and white porcelain out of the room and into the living room.
At this point, all the antique relics and artworks left by Lu Qinzhai here have been cleaned up, and after nearly 70 years, they have finally seen the light of day!
But these national treasure-level antique artworks have changed owners and become Xiao Ran's personal belongings.
In a few days, these national treasures and antique artworks will leave New York for their homecoming!
The moment he put down the Yongle blue and flower lotus pattern jar in his hand, Xiao Ran only felt a stir in his chest, and almost cheered!
