Pen holder, besides pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, was the most important writing utensil in the ancient Dragon Kingdom.
Around the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, literati only had pen holders on their desks.
Later, the pen holder quickly became popular all over the world because of its ease of use, and it is still popular today.
Therefore, if someone tells you that he owns a pen holder from the Song Dynasty, he is 100% deceiving you.
This pen holder is huge, with a diameter of 35cm.
With such a specification, it is actually no longer called a pen holder, but a sea of pens.
Because of this kind of writing utensils, those with a diameter of less than 19 centimeters are called pen holders, and those with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters are called pen holders.
The first thing I felt when I started using this cartridge was that it was heavy!
When looking at its appearance, it is purple-black in color, the wood is tight and extremely oily.
already has a graceful luster.
This is a situation that occurs only when the oxidation of the patina reaches a certain level.
You can even see stripes of texture, which are called cowhide grains.
It is the”image characteristic” that small leaf red sandalwood must have.
Old material rosewood.
Cao Zijian had already made a judgment on the material of the pen holder.
This piece of pen sea is carved from a single piece of red sandalwood.
The wood is dark in color, partially translucent purple-red, the texture is solid and fine, and the surface is densely covered with ox hair brown, which is a very good material.
The inner wall of the pen sea is polished and smooth, and the outer wall is full of fine carvings.
The entire piece of brush carving is extremely gorgeous and intricate, and the design is extremely clever.
Make full use of the thick red sandalwood material, scratch the ground very deeply, and cause the relief to highlight the surface.
The carved ancient pine seems to be hanging on the wall, with strong branches and a strong three-dimensional effect.
Moreover, the cranes engraved on it have different shapes, movements and stillness, and none of them are the same, which is a testament to the craftsmanship.
At this time, Shiqu had finished paying.
Holding the packaged Ming Dynasty Longquan kiln, he was preparing to greet Cao Zijian to leave.
I saw Cao Zijian holding a pen holder and looking at it.
Shi Qu shut his mouth and stood aside without speaking.
Although he also wanted to know the origin of this cartridge, it was obviously not the time to ask questions in front of the vendor
“Boss, how do you sell this cartridge?”Cao Zijian asked the boss who was checking the balance on his mobile phone.
The boss knew that Cao Zijian was a master of bargaining.
So before making a quotation, he introduced himself Get up
“This barrel is made of red sandalwood”
“In the traditional furniture of the Dragon Kingdom, red sandalwood is an important material”
“Because of its slow growth, it will take hundreds of years to become a mature material. It is extremely difficult to obtain mature materials, and the wood is hard and dense, so it is suitable for carving various exquisite patterns.”
“The texture is slender and floating, with endless changes, especially its deep tone, which looks steady and elegant. It is regarded as the best among woods.”
“Therefore, there is a saying that”one inch of red sandalwood is one inch of gold””
“Meng Haoran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem:”It is made of red sandalwood and gold scraps, and the sound of the pipa can be heard in the clouds.”””
“It means admiring the beauty of its materials. In the hands of skilled craftsmen, many admirable treasures have been created.”
“During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, red sandalwood was favored by the royal family and was made into various furniture. This formed the unique Long Kingdom classical furniture style and played an important role in the history of Dragon Kingdom furniture.”
“Old red sandalwood furniture is an in-demand art piece in the auction market and has attracted much attention from collectors.”
“This is a high-quality red sandalwood artifact in your hand.”
“At least 20w”
Cao Zijian was moved when he heard the quotation.
At the same time, he also knew that the boss must not know about this. The author of”Red Sandalwood Carved Pines and Cranes Prolonging Life”.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible t
[Go to read the novel on the site: https://readwn.com/] o quote such a low price.
Because the value of an artifact, in addition to the materials used, In addition to carving, famous artists are also a very important part.
The more famous the famous artist is, the higher the value he adds to the utensils.
Although the price is 200,000, Cao Zijian thinks it’s a good deal, but the bargaining process is necessary
“How about 18w?”
“this…”The boss hesitated for a moment and said:”Okay, 18w 18w right can be sold as a piece of material.””
“It seems that I am still missing.”Cao Zijian smiled and shook his head.
“It is fate that we met each other. There is no such thing as how much.”The boss was also very happy.
It didn’t open for two days, but once it opened, it sold 220,000
Immediately, Cao Zijian scanned the QR code and paid.
After staying in the room for a while, Shi Qu and Cao Zijian both left the room.
As soon as they left the room, Shi Qu, who was full of curiosity, asked:”Brother Cao, this red sandalwood pen holder What’s the origin?”
Cao Zijian did not speak, but showed the side of the pen holder to Shi Qu.
There, he saw the inscription”Wu Zhifan” in official script.
“Wu Zhifan? Who?”Shi Qu asked if he didn’t understand.
“A calligrapher, painter, and bamboo carver in the Qing Dynasty, he was the best bamboo carver in Jiading after Zhu Sansong.”Cao Zijian replied
“His works command high prices in the auction market”
“Coupled with the fact that such a huge red sandalwood pen is carved with such exquisite detail, the materials and labor time required are unimaginable.” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“Therefore, according to my inference, this may only be made by the most abundant Qing Palace recipe.”
“Things from the Qing Palace Building Office. Shi Qu showed envy:”Brother Cao, you missed it.””
The Qing Palace Manufacturing Office was founded in the early years of Kangxi.
It is an organization in charge of manufacturing palace utensils. It is managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was first established in Yangxin Hall. Later it was moved to the tea and dining room of Cining Palace.
Therefore, it is customarily called the Manufacturing Office of Yangxin Palace.
The manufacturing office gathered skilled craftsmen from all over the country. The type, craftsmanship, material, shape, and decoration of the artifacts reflect the royal etiquette, aesthetic and other needs.
It also represents the highest achievement of the traditional arts and crafts of the Dragon Kingdom at that time.
Everything produced by the manufacturing office must be of high quality.
This is beyond doubt
“Your Longquan kiln bamboo hat is not bad. The market price is about 100,000 yuan. I bought it for 40,000 yuan, so 113 yuan is considered a small purchase.”Cao Zijian smiled lightly and said
“Yes, it is better to be content and happy.”Shi Qu nodded in agreement.
In fact, even if this red sandalwood sculpture with pine and crane to prolong life is placed in front of Shi Qu, if the other party says 20w, Shi Qu will immediately turn around and leave. So there are some leaks that you can’t pick up if you want to.
Because he doesn’t understand the value.
“Let’s go to the next room”[]
I have to say that there are still many fine products at this bed party.
After a while, Cao Zijian took a fancy to a large kiln-glazed plum vase from the Qing Dynasty in the room.
However, the price is too high.
The boss asked for 220w as soon as he opened his mouth
and had no intention of letting go.
Finally had to give up.
There is also a ruby red glaze teacup made in the Qianlong period.
The teacup is thin and firm, with regular shape and a perfect fit when held in hand.
The inner wall and bottom of the cup are covered with white glaze, and the outer wall is covered with red glaze. The glaze color is bright and moving.
The blue and white calligraphy on the bottom is”Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty” with six characters and three lines of seal script inscription.
This small cup is the standard palace tea set and is called”tea round” in the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Qu liked it, and the other party’s price was 1.5 million
After some bargaining, Shi Qu also used his trump card
“The price is 800,000 yuan. If you sell it, I will pay directly. If you don’t want it, I will leave.”
However, when Shi Qu left the room, the boss did not stop him.
Obviously, this price is not for sale.
