Chapter 60 Unlimited
When the five people from the Great Vader Auction House first stepped into the study, they were attracted by the gilded roof, bookshelf and Ionic columns in the study, and the solemn beauty of the dark red carpet and rows of precious ancient books placed on the gilded bookshelf, which exudes a classical temperament that makes people unable to stop.
Along the way, it’s really like wandering in a TV screen, or entering a well-decorated museum. I really want to transform into the owner of the castle, spend a long time looking at the exquisite ornaments that I saw like a quick glance...
The collection of aristocratic families for hundreds of years is indeed extraordinary. The black pear wooden desk in the 18th century French palace in the study is enough to make people amazed, let alone the exquisite and exquisite ornaments that compete with them for their beauty are many of the artworks with collection value.
The most conspicuous one is the ink table on the table, which is inlaid with ebony and brass, ink bottles, bottle caps, conical thin candle holders and candle extinguishers, all of which are original and have perfect appearance. This gorgeous object made in the UK during the Regency period has typical French Bühler inlaid technology.
There is also a pair of copper-green metal bookends suspected to be from the famous French sculptor Max LeVeril. The sculpture shows two fighting antelope standing on an oblique broken surface to confront each other. The base is made of marble, and there should be the author's signature there...
It really makes people feel the immortal traces left by history and time in the castle everywhere.
Walking to the sofa in the lounge area, everyone sat down at the invitation of Arthur, the owner. The two appraisal experts focused on an artistic decoration-style cold-painted bronze statue placed on the small table in the gap of the sofa, depicting a picture of a believer girl dancing briskly. The base is conical marble, and the statue is engraved with the author's pen name "guirande". The overall carving craftsmanship is exquisite, the lines are bright, and the shape is elegant.
The eyes of the two experts lit up slightly, and they looked at each other silently. The works of the famous French engraver and jeweler Jodecomps made the two experts' hearts that were no longer able to calm down.
This is simply an unimaginable treasure!
"Please give Assam black tea produced in the Assam Valley in the foothills of the Himalayas in northeastern India. I hope you like it." Arthur maintained a calm and indifferent smile from beginning to end, and reached out to signal the introduction gracefully.
"Thank you, lord."
When everyone looked at the coffee table, they were speechless again.
There are dessert plates on the table. These gold-edged porcelain plates with flowers and patterns are produced by the Royal Crown Derby, the most famous porcelain factory in the UK. As employees of the auction house, they naturally know that among the famous European porcelains, there are German Masons and French Seffer, and the British crown derby.
The teapot and tea cup of black tea are both antique porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty. You should know that the antique porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty is respected and treasured as a one-minute exquisite work of art. Now it is placed on the table for use, especially a perfect set of porcelain. Each shape and flower ornament will be subtly different. When you put the cup down, perhaps one story after another is passed down.
Too luxurious, it's so luxurious and inhumane...
Arthur kept a calm smile, but there was a bright light in his eyes behind his glasses. He had always seen all the changes in expressions of the five auction house people in front of him. Their shock, surprise, and a pity were really exciting, and it was not in vain that he, the count, made such a "13-frame" to win the lead.
Arthur wanted them to subconsciously create a kind of thing from the beginning that the Bolin family really does not lack good things, and even usually uses antiques as daily necessities. Although it is a bit of a waste of resources, isn’t this a manifestation of a strong foundation?
"Good tea!"
The head of the Asia department of the auction house led this time sighed with intoxication.
"When you drink Assam black tea, it will have a faint malt aroma and a slight rose aroma. It has a strong taste and a scent of mouth..." Arthur introduced with a very elegant smile.
Everyone smiled and echoed Arthur's nod, all of them looked like this.
Standing beside Arthur, Paul, the housekeeper with a graceful temperament, stepped forward with a faint smile on his face and poured black tea for everyone again. His movements were flowing, and he was so full of solemn ritual.
Solemn and decent!
This is the feeling that everyone has had when they step into Bolin Castle, and it also makes them involuntarily think about their words and deeds. Whether it is their tone of speaking or sitting posture, they are infected by the classical aristocratic atmosphere maintained by the entire castle.
"Great Lord, thank you for your warm hospitality. Next, can we take a look at the treasures you have?"
"Of course, thank you very much for your arrival, so please help me appreciate it... Paul, bring the things over." Arthur said with a smile.
"Okay, my lord. Everyone, please wait." The butler Paul gracefully placed his right hand in front of him, behind his left hand, smiled and bowed to everyone, straightened his back, turned around and walked towards the desk in the study.
In the burning eyes of everyone, the housekeeper Paul picked up a large rectangular tray covered with blue silk cloth from another table, walked back calmly and carefully, placed the tray on the coffee table, and then gently removed the silk cloth covering the tray.
Arthur, who had been sitting firmly, looked at it with a faint smile. When all the antiques were displayed in front of everyone, the expressions on the other party's five people's faces changed, from the beginning to surprise, surprise, and then indeed, this should be the case.
"Lord, can we take a closer look?"
"Of course, please feel free"
Arthur smiled indifferently.
"Thanks."
The two appraisal experts took out white gloves, magnifying glasses and other appraisal tools from their bags, and began to appreciate them with concentration and excitement.
While waiting for the other party to identify, Arthur maintained a leisurely and calm expression and posture, drinking black tea gracefully and naturally, looking silently, showing extraordinary calmness, and seemed to not care about the authenticity of these things, or perhaps full of confidence, believing that these things would not be fakes.
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
Thirty minutes passed like this. When Arthur saw two appraisal experts raising their heads, holding magnifying glasses in their hands, looking at each other with joy on their faces, and hearing two faint sighs, Arthur knew that these things were stable!
"Dear Lord, I have to say that every item in your collection is fine, and it makes people love it..."
"...Not bad, especially this jade plaque, the best white jade with a warm and delicate oily luster. Look, under the light, its color is as soft as condensed, and the carving skills come from the palace building office of the Qing Dynasty in the Celestial Dynasty. This should be a prince's jade belt buckle, which is absolutely priceless..."
