In 1995, in the cultural relics company of Qin Gong, an old man came and brought a calligraphy and painting. The old man looked ordinary, and his age did not look small, about seventy years old. The old man said that it was something left behind by the ancestors and wanted to know how much it was worth.
Qin Gong watched the old man open the calligraphy and painting, and then he was stunned, the calligraphy and painting that the old man brought was the "Ten YongTu" of Zhang Xian, a great painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhang Xian was a calligrapher and painter during the Northern Song Dynasty, and his works were all documented at that time. In Zhang Xian's paintings, those small details are portrayed quite well, and the whole picture is very feeling, and the color is also extremely elaborate. Before that, someone took a magnifying glass to watch Zhang Xian's paintings, and in those details, it was a stroke of god.
"Ten Yong Tu" is Zhang Xian's masterpiece and has always been sought after. Over the centuries, the evaluation of Zhang Xian's paintings has always been very high, which shows that they are extraordinary. At that time, this painting had always been in the royal collection, so why did it end up in the hands of this old man?
The old man said that Zu Shang had been Puyi's personal bodyguard, so he got this painting. At that time, Puyi still had a lot of things to lose, and when the treasury was empty and it was difficult to maintain expenses, he would sell some antique calligraphy and paintings in the palace; sometimes, his subordinates behaved well, and he would reward them with these treasures. Therefore, the ancestors of the old man may have been rewarded by Puyi for this painting.
The old man said that he had gone to the cultural relics management office before and said that he wanted 8 million yuan to sell this painting, but the expert of the management office said that this painting is not a valuable thing, it is worth 10,000 yuan, if the old man wants to sell, then give 10,000 yuan. At that time, the old man left, after all, the treasure in his hand did not look like 10,000 yuan. Therefore, xia found the Duke of Qin. Qin Gong is a well-known cultural relics appraisal expert in our country, and he still wants to be a professional in the identification of treasures. He told the old man that this painting is not something that can be casually valued, and to put it bluntly, it is extremely valuable.
Qin Gong said that he could help the old man to auction this "Ten Yong Tu" in order to reassure the old man, so he gave a deposit of 2 million yuan to the old man. Subsequently, The Duke of Qin scattered the "Ten YongTu" out, which attracted the attention of many cultural relics enthusiasts and also attracted the attention of the Palace Museum.
In 1995, on the day of the auction, many people came to participate in the auction, and in the end, the Palace Museum auctioned the work for 18 million yuan, plus a commission of 1.8 million yuan, and "Ten Yong Tu" was taken away by the Palace Museum for 19.8 million yuan. I have to say that the Palace Museum still attaches great importance to this kind of treasure, and the "national treasure-level" cultural relics such as the "Ten YongTu" are still worthy of its value by the Palace Museum.
Now think about it, the expert who said that it was only worth 10,000 yuan at the beginning still had to practice more in terms of vision.
The son received an "heirloom", which was identified as 500,000 yuan, and the father: the painting was bought by me on Taobao...
Not long ago, Mr. Yang of Guangdong province received the "Lao Tzu Exit Map" sent by his father, and was told that this "ancient painting" was an heirloom. Overjoyed, Mr. Yang got the appraisal of the art company and learned that it could be auctioned for nearly 500,000 yuan. However, after paying the service fee of 10,000 yuan, it was auctioned off, and Mr. Yang suspected that he had been deceived.
In order to identify the market price of this heirloom, Mr. Yang, under the introduction of a friend, contacted an art exhibition and sales company called "Yongqian Shengshi" on the Internet, and a sales director said that after preliminary identification, the painting was worth a lot of money, but to estimate the specific value, it was necessary to pay an appraisal fee of two hundred yuan.
"I sent the picture over, he said the experts want to see, the experts looked at it before he said that the experts said yes, to take the physical object to the company to identify the results." Hearing this, a few days later Mr. Yang took the painting to their company, and an expert received Mr. Yang, and in less than two minutes, the expert said that this "Lao Tzu Out of the Customs Map" is the work of Zhang Xizhen, a disciple of the famous painter Fan Zeng, which is old and valuable.
Before Mr. Yang figured out who Zhang Xizhen was, the other party said that if the work was left in the company's auction, it might be able to get nearly 500,000 yuan, and mr. Yang, who was moved, paid a service fee of 10,000 yuan and signed a contract, and the company promised to take the painting to Singapore for auction in the near future, with at least 80% of the transaction rate.
However, a few months later, Mr. Yang learned that the so-called famous painting had actually been auctioned. It was Only after Mr. Yang discovered that the contract made it clear that the service fee of 10,000 yuan would not be refunded regardless of whether the auction was successful or not.
Mr. Yang suspected that he had been deceived, but when his father gave it to himself, he said that it was an heirloom, and Mr. Yang decided to ask his father for the truth, but he was shocked by the truth.
Mr. Yang's father said, "I bought it when I liked it myself, and I don't know if it's true or not." It turned out that Mr. Yang's so-called heirloom was actually bought by Mr. Yang's father for 220 yuan on Taobao. Saying that it is an heirloom is just joking with my son.
So how is a fake of more than 200 years identified as authentic?
The reporter applied for employment and went undercover into this art appraisal company called "Yongqian Shengshi". A man who claimed to be a sales director said that the company's main business is to collect art from the private sector and entrust it to major auction companies for auction, and the company's profits mainly come from the service fees charged to customers before the auction. If the auction is successful, a 7% commission can be extracted, but the reporter found that the company's staff does not know how to identify the authenticity is a psychological game.
"Ask him if he is ancestral or collected, and he has a bottom in mind." If it is ancestral, the probability of being genuine is very high, which is also a mental game we do. Another salesman also told reporters that the so-called identification is also casual, and the authenticity of the collection is his own decision.
Nowadays, there are many such scams, and I hope that the majority of Tibetan friends will polish their eyes, and friends who do not understand should be more cautious in buying and selling collections. That dad is also true, this is not a strength pit.
