Qin Feng, Pei Yi'an and others all focused their attention on the dragon-patterned tomb coffin. This dragon-patterned tomb coffin was carved from the finest golden nanmu.
From the appearance, this tomb coffin is actually made of a complete golden nanmu! I don’t know how much effort Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty spent to find such a big golden nanmu!
Golden nanmu, buried underground, can last for thousands of years without decaying, and it has a special appearance. Any aged golden nanmu will contain gold threads in the wood grain. These golden threads will sparkle under the sunlight, looking both luxurious and charming. Furthermore, the golden nanmu has a delicate and soft texture. It also has a special faint aroma of nanmu, which can repel mosquitoes. Therefore, golden nanmu has been one of the coffin woods commonly used by emperors in China for many years.
Throughout the dynasties, many emperors used golden nanmu. In the later Qing and Ming dynasties, common people except the royal family were prohibited from using golden nanmu. Once used, it would be deemed as a serious crime that exceeded the etiquette!
"I haven't observed it carefully before, but now, if I take a closer look, this golden nanmu is indeed extraordinary. No wonder most emperors in this world like to use this golden nanmu, especially the emperors' dragon chairs, which have been made of high quality throughout the ages. Carefully crafted and carved from nanmu." Song Rong and Pei Yi'an looked at the dragon-patterned tomb coffin that was still as clean as new even after being buried for a thousand years, with their eyes full of novelty.
"It's indeed quite beautiful..." Pei Yian nodded. Although she wasn't too keen on the golden nanmu, she had to admit that the raw material of this wood was indeed very beautiful.
Especially the antique and charming feeling is even better.
Qin Feng nodded as he looked at the elegant, quiet wood texture and shiny luster on the tomb coffin.
"A few years ago, Xinghai City held an auction of golden nanmu... I remember that a set of golden nanmu tables and chairs fetched a total of 300 million, and a pair of golden nanmu top boxes were even more popular. We spent more than 3 million yuan, and the two cabinets worth more than 3 million yuan put together are not as big as one of our suitcases!" Song Rong said with a sigh as she moved her little nose.
Pei Yian nodded. She also knew about the auction that year, but she was abroad. Even if she heard about the auction, she would not come back from abroad. After all, compared to these golden nanmu furniture, she was more interested in it. Passionate about jade and porcelain, "In recent years, the price of precious raw materials such as rosewood, huanghuali, and golden nanmu has increased rapidly. Especially for antique furniture made from these raw materials, the prices have increased even more."
"Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, this is what some wealthy people pursue in this peaceful era." Qin Feng nodded in agreement with what Pei Yi'an said.
After carefully looking at the carving of the tomb coffin, the three of them looked at each other and Qin Feng stood on the left to protect the priceless antique coffin lid. Pei Yi'an and Song Rong stood on the right, pushing the lid of the dragon-patterned tomb coffin in front of them towards Qin Feng. The coffin lid was made really well, both strong and heavy. It took a lot of effort from Pei Yi'an and Song Rong. Qin Feng carefully protected the coffin lid from being pushed to the ground and smashed by them.
Fortunately, Pei Yi'an and Song Rong were very discerning and alert. They happened to find a balance position and stopped their movements.
