Strollers are something that many parents are familiar with. If you connect the stroller with antiques, many people will feel a little different, after all, the antiques we usually see are mostly porcelain, pottery, and iron.
Even most Chinese people will think that strollers are imported products, but when you search for when strollers entered the mainland, you will find that the earliest strollers were actually "made in China".
During the Ming Dynasty, folk craftsmen made simple strollers out of wood
。 But because the material is made of wood, if the baby sits on such an object, it should not be very comfortable.
Later in the Qing Dynasty, there was it
"Carved lacquered stroller"
, the Republic of China again
"Surround design stroller"
In modern times, it is even more so
"Bamboo Stroller"
。
Since strollers have such a long history in the mainland, does that mean that there will be antique strollers handed down, in addition to the above-mentioned strollers, there is also a folk collection. However, this stroller is very special.
First, the "grass flower pear" stroller
Since the reform and opening up, everyone's life has become better and better, and many people have started collecting with spare money in their hands. It's just that because many people are new to the industry, they often suffer losses at the beginning, but everyone is still happy to do it, and always feel that as long as they find a treasure, they will earn.
In order to respond to everyone's psychological needs for treasure hunting, many TV programs have also launched treasure hunting columns.

In this episode of the treasure show, a woman "pushed" her own antiques to the screen and invited experts to identify the treasure.
The woman called it an ancient "stroller"
Both the four bottom wheels and the overall structure are made of wood, which looks like an antique furniture, and its main chair part is more like the ancient common chair.
As the woman pushed the chair in front of the expert, many of the venues also sounded exclamations, most of which were incredulous.
Because I always feel that the stroller is not suitable for such a thing as an "antiquity", this is of course because everyone in the front does not know much about the history of the stroller, so this car also caused a big storm at that time.
However, a bigger storm is still to come, and the experts' identification results have pushed the stroller directly to the top of the wind.
Second, ancestral treasures
The woman slowly pushed the stroller in front of the expert, and the expert looked at the stroller in front of her, which was also quite novel, and after some careful identification, said to the hostess:
"This car is indeed the classical furniture of the ancient times in the mainland, and there was indeed such furniture that could be deformed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was the first time that a stroller like this could be deformed was seen."
It turns out that such a stroller is not only old, but also deformable. It is well known that modern strollers can be deformed, convenient to put in the trunk to save, as you go. I thought it was a modern design, but I didn't expect it to be there in ancient times.
The expert then added:
"Through the material of this stroller, it can be known that this should be a grass flower pear, which has a history of hundreds of years to this day, and its pulp and mortise have obvious characteristics of the times."
After all, this car was built in ancient times, and it is hard to imagine that someone would make a stroller so meticulous.
So, the question is, what kind of person can be worthy of such a stroller? Come to think of it, the child sitting on it must be very identity.
So the expert asked the woman:
Who are your ancestors?
According to the woman, the car is an heirloom of her grandfather's family, and the car can not only be used as a stroller, but also as a baby dining table, which is very practical.
The stroller was indeed a genuine treasure, and the woman was very happy, so she immediately asked the expert how much the car was worth in modern times.
The expert told the owner of the stroller: "This stroller has witnessed generations of people, with many years of history, although no one has yet explored, but it is likely that this car is the earliest stroller in the mainland, which is very collectible."
Even this is the first time we've seen a stroller like this, so it's difficult to immediately estimate its value.
”
Of course, since the treasure hunting conference can not say that the tasting value can not be said, so the expert finally gave a reference value.
The car is probably worth more than 300,000 yuan
However, the expert finally reminded the woman: "Since it is an heirloom in the family, do not put it up for auction, it is best to put it in the home to pass it on, I believe that the value of this car will continue to increase." ”
The owner of the stroller agreed after listening to it, thanked the expert and pushed the heirloom away from the scene, although I don't know if she finally decided to auction the stroller, but still hope that she can treasure it, and it is of great significance to be a writer to pass on the treasure.
epilogue
It is very strange that a stroller turned out to be a precious antique. As the old saying goes, "Gold in a troubled world, antiques in the world of prosperity", in such a peaceful and prosperous world, I wonder if you also treasure one or two treasures of unknown origin in the homes of officials?
