Chapter 480 1 Bamboo and 10 Gold!
It has to be said that the precipitation of history has brought extraordinary value to each of these old objects!
It's like this pair of huanghuali Ruyi horns and clubfoot four-flat tables from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, a large part of their value mainly comes from their material, huanghuali wood!
There must be many people who know the name of Huanghualimu!
Huanghuali, the scientific name is fragrant rosewood, also known as Hainan rosewood, Hainan rosewood (D.hainanensis.). Huanghuali was the main material for hardwood furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties, because it was favored by craftsmen in Ming and Qing Dynasties because of its yellowish color, fine texture, soft texture and fragrant aroma.
Huanghuali can also be made into bracelets with a fragrant smell. Very popular with the public.
Huanghuali is firm and dense. After long-term use, the surface of the appliance will naturally produce a moist outer layer similar to keratin, that is, "color paste". It is recognized as the most noble furniture and wood carving material in the world. Huanghuali grows slowly, although it is still rough after a hundred years, due to the predatory logging of the rulers of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in the late Qing Dynasty, the raw materials were increasingly scarce, and now it is rare.
Therefore, it is difficult to come across some vintage and mature huanghuali wood.
Of course, in recent years, some people have started to plant huanghuali trees on a large scale in the South China Sea, but there is still a long way to go before it grows tall and matures!
. . .
Zhao Feng and Shi Qingxuan each have a number plate today!
But because neither of them were very interested in this furniture, they didn't raise a placard! Soon, this pair of four-flat tables with huanghuali Ruyi horns and clubfoot in the early seventeenth century of the Ming Dynasty was thought to be sold by a middle-aged man for 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars!
This price has exceeded one-tenth of the estimated price, and few people continue to shout!
Soon, the second auction item was carried on the stage by several auction house employees wearing white gloves!
This is also an old piece of furniture!
The host on the stage also began to introduce: "The next piece is a Ming 17th century Huanghuali Ruyi Yunya head chuck with tenon and bracket. The size is: 267 X 50 X 89 cm, Estimate: - Hong Kong dollars."
"The head-turning desk is long but not wide, and the two ends are raised. It was always loved by famous households in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The file board of this case is ingeniously carved, and the wood grain of the panel is beautiful, which is particularly outstanding. The head-turning desk is a permanent living room, leaning south. On the wall, strange stones, flowers, antiques, etc. can be displayed, adding elegance when the host receives guests.”
"The literati and officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties have an aesthetic taste for furniture, which makes the Huanghuali furniture in this period outstanding, and it is impeccable in terms of artistic aesthetics and ergonomics. It can be called A treasure in the world of furniture art. Huanghuali wood is neither quiet nor noisy, and its texture is like flowing clouds and flowing water, either hidden or visible. Therefore, this piece is also a rare boutique!”
The host is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body!
He has been working in the position of host for nearly fifteen years, and as soon as his eyes swept, he felt that there were already many people in the audience who were ready to move!
So I stopped talking nonsense immediately, and said directly: "The starting price of this Ming 17th century Huanghuali Ruyi cloud tooth head chuck tenon with bracket is 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. !Start now!"
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone immediately raised a placard to increase the price!
After three or four people took turns to raise their cards, suddenly an old gentleman who looked rather skinny raised his cards and said directly: "I'll pay 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars!"
An increase of more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars,
Immediately, many people in the hall who were interested in this high-profile case cast their eyes on this old gentleman! However, where is the auction house's estimate!
The idea that this old gentleman is going to use a substantial price increase to get other buyers out is impossible!
After a few breaths from the old gentleman's voice, people immediately raised their placards!
For a while, the auction hall was really lively and intense!
. . .
Zhao Feng, who was sitting in the third or fourth row in the middle, chatted with Shi Qingxuan, Ye Xin, and Yang Zixin! Ye Xin and Yang Zixin participated in such an auction for the first time!
Actually a little curious!
Zhao Feng did not restrain the two of them either, indicating that the two of them could try raising their placards to participate in the auction!
But Ye Xin and Yang Zixin didn't like this kind of furniture very much!
So there is no participation!
After this Ming Dynasty 17th-century Huanghuali Ruyi Yunya head case with chuck, tenon and bracket, was successfully auctioned for 4.38 million Hong Kong dollars!
Next are the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali carved dragon and phoenix flower and bird pattern corset low table with legs and half table and the Ming Dynasty 17th century Huanghuali fourteen drawer medicine box, which sold for 1.78 million and 240 respectively. The price of 50,000 yuan!
For these two auction items, the latter's auction price was almost one-fifth higher than the estimated price, which surprised everyone!
Zhao Feng didn't even look after the old gentleman with glasses who was bidding!
Seeing this, Shi Qingxuan specially introduced Zhao Feng. This old gentleman is the inheritor of a century-old pharmacy in Xiangjiang. This ancient medicine box really scratched his itch, so it is reasonable to bid so much higher. original!
. . . . . .
As the furniture auction comes to an end!
The next step is to enter a more intense auction!
After a short break, the fifth lot was brought up by the staff of the auction house!
Seeing this auction item that has not yet been opened, Zhao Feng and Shi Qingxuan are both refreshed!
From the scroll, it can be seen that this lot must be a kind of ancient calligraphy and painting in China!
When the auctioneer signaled his assistant to open the scroll, sure enough, what appeared in front of everyone was a lifelike bamboo painting!
The host also began to introduce: "Many people will feel familiar with this painting! Next, let me introduce it to you!"
This painting is "Ink Bamboo" by Xia Chang! Estimate: ,, 000! "
"Xia Chang (1388-1470) of the Ming Dynasty, his first surname was Zhu, and his first name was Chang. His style was Zhongzhao, his name was Zizi Lay, and he was also called Yufeng. He was a native of Kunshan, and Kunshan was rich in bamboo and wood. Xia Chang had a rough life when he was young. However, in the second year of Yongle's reign (1415), when he was less than 30 years old, he was admitted as a jinshi and worked in the Hanlin Academy. In addition to being famous for painting bamboo, Xia Chang was also good at regular script."
"Xia Chang's bamboo is painted in regular script, the method is rigorous, and it is rarely seen in the world. The method is taken from the famous masters of the Song and Yuan dynasties. On the basis of the observation and observation of bamboo in the natural state, it is written in ink and wash, and the painting is made with "meaning", which is a style of its own. , linking up. In "Wujun Danqingzhi", people at that time said: "Xia Qing has one bamboo, Xiliang ten ingots of gold"..."
It was rare for Zhao Feng to listen carefully to the host this time!
After thinking about it, Zhao Feng motioned for Ye Xin and Yang Zixin to hold their cards!
Ye Xin and Yang Zixin held a sign by themselves as if they were afraid of spending money, and they never held it up!
Xia Chang's bamboo is indeed of great significance for collection. The ancients said that one bamboo is worth ten gold, which also shows the value of this painting. This painting should be used for training the two of them, and it is also good to send it as a collection by the way!
