Shenhao Starts With Antique Treasure Appraisal
Chapter 134 It’S Reversed Again? The Little Policewoman Is About To Be Hoodwinked (Please Subscribe
I saw that there were indeed some animal patterns on all four sides of the bronze square tripod.
The animal is standing and very abstract.
Most of the onlookers craned their necks to look.
"Lion."
"It looks like a tiger to me. This shape often appears on bronze vessels."
Everyone often hangs out in the antique market, and they all know something about it, so they started talking about it.
Zhou Tong also looked at it and couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.
Just listen to Li Tianming explain: "This is Taotie. Most of the bronze square tripods with standing ears are decorated with Taotie patterns, which is a kind of inscription on bronze vessels."
Huo Feiyang smiled coldly: "What does this have to do with whether it is a fake?"
"That's a big deal."
Li Tianming placed the bronze square tripod with upright ears on the board of the stall and continued: "You are right, this bronze tripod is indeed lighter than imagined, and there are red spots and green rust on the surface. It looks like it has been around for a long time. Authentic for a long time.
"What does it look like? It's actually real."
Li Tianming shook his head: "However, there are big flaws on its surface."
Li Tianming pointed to a piece of copper 050 rust and said: "Although the color of this copper rust is fine, there are two things missing, namely the black lacquer and the mercury leather."
When the onlookers heard this, they started talking again. Some antique "old guns" had indeed heard of black lacquer and mercury leather, but they were really not sure what they were like.
Huo Feiyang's expression changed, and he looked carefully at the patina, his face uncertain.
In fact, the so-called "black paint" and "mercury skin" are both in the form of a film layer on top of rust, which is shiny and smooth to the touch.
These film layers are also formed by enrichment and precipitation after the components of copperware are oxidized, dissolved or corroded.
"Without these two things, the patina alone would be too easy to fake. It is nothing more than digging a hole and soaking it in urine or potassium permanganate for a year or two, and it will form naturally."
When the onlookers heard this, they nodded repeatedly.
Everyone has more or less heard of some methods of counterfeiting antiques.
What Li Tianming said does make sense.
Song Yunqiao looked overjoyed and looked at Li Tianming with shining eyes.
Song Yun cleverly thought (bhec) that Teacher Li was indeed a first-class expert, and suppressed that person's arrogance with a few words.
Huo Feiyang was not willing to admit defeat and said disdainfully: "That's true, but if the bronze was immediately buried in the tomb as soon as it was cast, there wouldn't be much black lacquer and mercury skin."
"Well, black lacquer and mercury skin are just one of the ways to identify the authenticity of bronzes, let's put them aside.
"Actually, the biggest flaw of this bronze is here." Li Tianming pointed to the upright Taotie patterns and explained slowly.
"You see, these gluttons are facing each other, but they are all exactly the same, and the carvings are exactly the same."
Someone asked aloud: "Isn't this good?"
Li Tianming said with a smile: "Of course, it shows that the craftsmanship is advanced, but it would be too fake if this happens to this bronze square tripod."
"Judging from the patina of this tripod, it is conservatively estimated that it was cast during the Han Dynasty, or even before the Qin Dynasty, but how could the casting technology at that time be so advanced?"
When the onlookers heard this, they were speechless even if they wanted to refute.
Gradually, Zhou Tong found himself attracted by Li Tianming's words.
Li Tianming talks from the simple to the deep, and even people who don't understand antique appraisal can basically understand what he means.
Zhou Tong looked at Huo Feiyang again, and his expression became dull. He hesitated to speak, but seemed unable to say anything.
Zhou Tong couldn't help but wonder, could this person really be a more powerful expert than Feiyang?
But this person is too young, right?
Just listen to Li Tianming continue: "How were the bronzes made at that time? The clay model and the box model were made first, and then the copper-tin alloy was poured, so it is impossible to guarantee that such a complicated pattern will be exactly the same , there will be some differences."
The so-called clay molds and box molds are the molds that the ancients made in advance when making bronze wares.
"Whatever the weight, the patina can be made into a 70-80% replica, but counterfeiters will still ignore this. This is a more important feature for identifying bronzes."
"So, this bronze square tripod is a fake."
At this point, Li Tianming's final conclusion is very convincing.
Not to mention the onlookers who were still clamoring before, even Huo Feiyang lost his temper at all. He was like a defeated rooster and could only stare.
Only Song Yunqiao was secretly happy, thinking that Teacher Li was so handsome, even the face-slapping operation showed a calm and cool look.
Seeing that he was a little cold for a while, the male police officer coughed dryly.
"It turned out to be a fake, so forget it, this guy said "Thank you..."
With that said, the male police officer apologized to the antique vendor Wang Shouye.
But at this moment, Li Tianming caught a glimpse of the corner of Wang Shouye's mouth rising slightly.
It was an expression of the evil plot succeeding and the villain succeeding.
After the male police officer finished communicating with Wang Shouye, he was about to leave with Zhou Tong and Huo Feiyang.
At this moment, Li Tianming spoke again.
"Two officers, wait a moment."
The male police officer stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"There may be some questions, please wait a moment." Li Tianming smiled and waved his hand.
Zhou Tong was a little curious, what did this person want to do?
Song Yunqiao was also very surprised. Did Teacher Li discover something else?
Li Tianming looked at Wang Shouye's side, where there was a broken black leather bag.
There were some small items in the broken leather bag, which were not placed on the stall.
Among them, a round copper product was exposed.
Li Tianming pointed to the object and said: "Boss, let me take a look at that bronze mirror."
When Wang Shouye heard this, his eyes straightened and he looked a little panicked.
"This...this is also a fake..."
"It's okay, let me take a look."
Of course, the male police officer also noticed that something was wrong with Wang Shouye's expression, and solemnly said: "Master, please cooperate, thank you.
Wang Shouye had no choice but to take out the "bronze mirror" Li Tianming said and reluctantly handed it over to Li Tianming's hands.
I saw that this object seemed to be bronze, with its surface mottled and covered with green.
Li Tianming turned to the other side again, and there were actually some exquisite reliefs.
It can be seen that the carving skills are quite high, and the characters on it are beautiful and lifelike. .
