Twenty-eight seal stones, each with a starting price of 40,000 pounds. Affected by the increase in the collection of Chinese seals, the number of seal stone buyers entering the market this year has suddenly increased, driving up its market price. So far, the price of seal stones has generally doubled, and those of the highest quality have even doubled.

In particular, this eight-party chicken blood stone will definitely become a treasure that merchants and collectors from all walks of life crave. "It's hard to find for a while" and "good stones are hard to find" have become the status quo of the industry's collections, which has increased the industry's expectations for the appreciation of chicken blood stones, and the price of chicken blood stones has doubled within several years. . .

The three-legged Xuande incense burner, with a warm and moist coating and precious energy inside, remains unchanged for a long time. The quality of the casting is average, and it has natural and uniform wear, especially on the lower feet. It is a rare authentic product.

The incense burner belongs to the peak of Xuande year system in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a high-quality Xuande burner in the Ming Dynasty. . . According to the map records, in June of the third year of Xuande, Bang Zuowu, an official of the Ministry of Industry, led more than 100 foundry workers to start casting, and it was not completed until the fourth year of Xuande. The number of Xuande furnaces should be 118,000 pieces. The character of virtue in Xuande has a horizontal line on the heart, which is the real thing. . . Yes, that's it! Later imitations were all removed with a horizontal line, because they were killed because they avoided the year name and were afraid of offending the majesty of the emperor. . .

This pair of well-preserved chiseled and gilt single-eared vases made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is similar to a pair of double-eared vases in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States. . . "

Two steadfast experts have dated and valued every antique cultural relic one by one, and every valuation made Arthur happy, his heart beating wildly, if there were no outsiders around If he wants to maintain his earl's aristocratic look at all times, he will definitely be overjoyed.

As for the housekeeper Paul who was at the side, he was completely shocked by the exposed price. Although he was suppressing his excitement, his calm and calm face was also occupied by an extremely unnatural expression at the moment. Both hands trembled involuntarily a few times.

It never occurred to Paul that the 'things' found in the utility room and the 'second-hand goods' found in the flea market were really valuable antiques!

Arthur, on the other hand, was very satisfied with the valuation of the chiseled and gold-plated one-eared vase made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, especially the comments on the orderly inheritance. Undoubtedly, everything he prepared played a role, and it was marked with the title of the Celestial Dynasty. The price of 100,000 pounds is really not high for the halo of porcelain exported to European nobles. I believe that the price after the auction will be even more gratifying.

In addition to the joy of Earl Arthur and the butler Paul, the person in charge of David's Auction House is also the happiest one. Although it is not a high-quality goods, there are a lot of them. Sure enough, the old aristocratic family really has a deep foundation. Take whatever you want. If something comes out, it can make people look up.

The valuations given by the two experts can only be regarded as the starting price or a conservative valuation. After the real auction, these antique cultural relics can fetch a higher price. As long as the publicity works well, thinking of this, I can't help but smile Said: "Lord, do you want to put all these collections up for auction?"

Hearing this question, Arthur sat up straight with a smile, leaned forward, reached out to pick up the melon-shaped ivory bracelet from the tray, and naturally stayed on his left hand. Under the watchful eyes of two experts, he picked up The string of golden amber beads was wrapped around the right wrist,

He stretched out his hand again to pick up the mutton fat white jade five-claw carved dragon jade tablet and played with it in his hand.

"I personally like these three things, and the rest will be handed over to your bank for operation. I hope there will be a satisfactory result."

Whether it's hypocrisy or hypocrisy, money is always a sensitive topic for the British aristocrats. For money, they are obviously eager for it in their hearts, but they still have to be disgusted with their mouths, maintaining their contempt for those rich and powerful upstarts. It is said that their status is bought, not from noble blood and so on. . .

Seeing the noble Earl's whole set of behaviors, the person in charge of David's Auction House smiled and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Lord, our David's Auction House is very professional and will definitely give you the best price." Satisfying result."

After talking with Arthur, he said to the two experts and two assistants who came with him: "Register the earl's collection, put it in a box and seal it, and then sort out the contract."

"Okay, manager."

After the arrangements were made, the person in charge turned to Arthur again, and said with a smile on his face, "Sorry, Lord, I have an unkind request, I don't know, can I have a private chat."

Hearing this, Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the smiles on the other party's face, nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

"It's too presumptuous, thank you for your understanding..."

As he spoke, Arthur stood up from the sofa, nodded slightly to the person in charge, and then walked towards the French window of the study. He was a little puzzled about what the other person was going to tell him.

"Honorable Lord, in order to let more collectors understand the value of your collections, expand the influence of this autumn auction, and attract more interested collectors, our bank hopes to show the value of these collections to the outside world. Provenance, the value represented by an orderly inherited antique cultural relic is far from ordinary cultural relics..."

Sure enough, as Arthur thought before, the other party will not miss the opportunity to pull the tiger's skin. Don't look at their Boleyn family's decline, but hundreds of years of history are there. From a certain earl's family, whether it is about the authenticity of the item or the inheritance, it plays a halo effect.

"Of course, since it's my collection, you can naturally publicize it." Arthur looked at the other party with a smile, but deliberately emphasized "my collection" in his words.

"Ahem...Of course, of course." The person in charge smiled awkwardly, pondered for a while, and then whispered again: "Honorable Earl Arthur, our auction house will not charge you any money. As for the commission, we will also charge 10% of the transaction price, and the international practice is that the commission ratio is mostly 15% to 30%.

"Oh? Then I really have to thank your bank for taking care of the Boleyn family, thank you very much." Arthur raised his eyebrows and smiled, thanking him very happily.

"Hehe..." The awkward smile on the face of the person in charge didn't disappear, but because of Arthur's non-response, the smile became more rigid. Looking at the half-smile expression on the face of the young earl opposite him, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said frankly : "Okay, Lord, I won't go around in circles, let's just say it, this autumn auction is an autumn auction that our bank attaches great importance to. For better publicity, our bank hopes that you can let us borrow Bolin Propaganda in the name of the family..."
