Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters bronze horse head(2/2)
When it was noon, the heads of the twelve beasts sprayed water together, which was spectacular.
This object was supervised and produced by the famous foreign craftsman Lang Shining during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
The ancient process used to smelify copper and add a variety of alloys, so it has never been stainless after two hundred years.
According to Lang Shining's original intention, he wanted to make twelve sculptures, but later the emperor said it was a bad habit, so he changed it to the twelve zodiac signs that were more in line with the Chinese characteristics.
After hearing Liu Qingshan's introduction, Lu Fang was also shocked: "Boss, this thing is more precious than Xuande Furnace, we must take it down!"
"You can check it out first. Is the time right? Don't make it a copy from a foreigner, it will be a loss." Liu Qingshan reminded him, and Lu Fang nodded vigorously.
They both muttered in Mandarin here, and the people next to them were not able to understand except Victor and Leo.
"Liu, you are interested in this, so I'll take a photo for you." Victor was cunning and was not ready to ask Liu Qingshan to take action.
Liu Qingshan also agreed with Victor's proposal. Generally, auction houses have children and will help raise prices.
During the World Cup, Liu Qingshan was in a big light. If he was recognized as Mr. Mount, the rich man, the price would definitely be raised.
Soon, when the auction began, Liu Qingshan also shouted the price several times, but it was soon replaced by a higher price.
However, Victor bought a set of silver tableware, which was said to be from the time of Queen Victoria, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop.
Finally, it was the turn of the beast's head to appear. A staff member lifted the horse's head in the square plate, which was about half the size of a real horse's head, but the weight was not light at all.
The British and French coalition forces back then probably thought that there was precious gold mixed in it, so they got it back from afar.
The auction hall is not big, so Liu Qingshan sitting below can see clearly.
I saw that the horse's head was deep, the treasure light was restrained, the shape was very majestic, and the curly mane was all slim.
Liu Qingshan basically confirmed that this is definitely the authentic one.
Lu Fang also nodded slightly to him. Although he didn't get started, this kind of craft was obviously not something that ordinary people could imitate.
The auction's reserve price is also shocking: 5,000 US dollars.
Not many people were interested in this beast head, only a few people bid and raised the price a few times, and it was only 6,000 US dollars.
"Six thousand five hundred dollars!"
Victor asked for a price, which suddenly rose by 500 yuan, but no one bids again.
A bronze horse head was finally sold for 6,500 US dollars. How dare you believe this?
The whole process was without any turmoil, no thrilling bidding, and no back and forth. However, it felt a bit unreal if you called Liu Qingshan.
He has experienced later generations and often heard that some precious cultural relics in China were photographed on tens of millions, but hundreds of millions were often taken.
In fact, in this era, the price valuation of Chinese antiques is relatively low, and it is normal for this scene in front of you.
Pressing his excitement, Liu Qingshan looked at Lu Fang beside him and had a conspiracy in his mind: In the past two years, Lu Fang and his brothers will be asked to buy back Chinese antiques at major auctions in Europe.
First, Liu Qingshan has this kind of economic strength, and second, he can take advantage of the low price and save money.
When the auction ended, when Victor paid the money to pick up the goods, he asked again seemingly carelessly:
Chapter completed!
