Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1020 Extreme Luxury

"This is the end of the introduction about the general situation of this apartment and what I'm looking for, now please follow me and start this treasure hunt together!

Because this apartment is huge in size, with a total of twenty-two rooms, it will definitely take a lot of time to explore one by one, so please be patient.

If your time is limited or you have other things at hand, then go busy with other things. There is no need to watch the live broadcast. When you have time later, just watch it online, as you choose!

Before the treasure is discovered, this treasure hunt must be a bit boring. In order to add a little interest to the live broadcast, I will intersperse some knowledge about antique artworks.

If you are interested in this content, you might as well listen to it. It can be used as a pastime, or you can learn some knowledge related to antique artworks. There is no harm.

What I'm talking about is all related to this luxury apartment and the antique artworks that were once displayed here. I did my homework specially. I hope you like it!

Gossip less, get down to business! Let's start from where I am now. This is the front hall of the apartment, and it is also the facade of this apartment. It is still quite interesting! "

With that said, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the wall facing the apartment door in the front hall.

It's not a bare wall, it's covered with light brown cherry wood boards, which is solemn, elegant and luxurious! It was empty, without any decorations.

However, from the traces on the wall and floor, it can be seen that there was once a painting on that wall and furniture on the floor, but they have been removed.

As for who moved them? Naturally, the guys from Christie's auction house.

Seeing Ye Tian walking towards the wall, Jason immediately followed. The phone camera kept locking on Ye Tian's figure and continued the live broadcast.

The same goes for Betty and David, who followed excitedly and looked at the wall ahead curiously.

At this time, the live broadcast has become more and more lively.

"I'm going! This is to popularize the knowledge about antique art for everyone! It's interesting!"

"Although I don't like Steven, a guy who causes trouble everywhere, it is undeniable that he is indeed the top professional treasure hunter and expert in antique art appraisal! This live broadcast is worth looking forward to!"

While discussing,

Everyone stared at the live broadcast, looking forward to the official start of the treasure hunt.

The waiting time was very short, and after a few seconds, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, please look at the wall facing the door of the apartment. There are several marks on it, which are very clear!"

Ye Tian stood sideways, raised his hand and gestured towards the wall.

Following his movements, Jason's phone immediately shifted focus, pointed the camera at the wall in front, and quickly zoomed in on the picture!

The marks on the wall in front were then clearly displayed on the live screen and in front of everyone's eyes.

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian's voice kept coming, and he began to explain the story of the front hall to everyone.

"We can see that there is a large imprint in the center of this wall. I believe everyone can see it at a glance. There used to be a painting hanging here, and the size is not small.

That's right! There was indeed a painting hanging in this place before, and it was a top-level work of art. It came from Pan Tianshou, a famous modern Chinese painter.

It is a Chinese traditional painting that is elegant and refined, full of charm, rare and of extraordinary artistic value! It is An Siyuan's favorite artwork, so he hung it in the front hall.

You may not know much about Chinese traditional painting, Pan Tianshou, a famous modern Chinese painter, or the artistic value of the painting "The Qingfang in the Courtyard", or what is so good about it.

It’s okay, it’s normal, after all, you haven’t had much contact with Chinese traditional paintings. In order to let you better understand that famous Chinese painting, I will explain it from the perspective of market value!

It's a bit cheesy, but intuitive! After the death of Mr. An Siyuan, this painting "The Qingfang in the Garden" was auctioned by Christie's auction house, and the final hammer price was 1.56 million US dollars.

The person who took this famous painting was a collector from China. The price is not bad, but not too high. The highest transaction record for a painting by Mr. Pan Tianshou is more than 40 million US dollars! "

Following Ye Tian's explanation, there were bursts of exclamations on the live broadcast end.

"Wow! Although I don't know much about Chinese art, I know very well what a huge fortune $1.56 million is! It can definitely drive people crazy!"

"Such an expensive painting hangs in the front hall! An Siyuan's heart is too big. If it were me, I would definitely confess this painting and hold it in my arms every day, so I can rest assured!"

While exclaiming and discussing, everyone's interest in this live broadcast became more and more intense, and everyone watched the live broadcast with great interest and listened to Ye Tian's professional explanation.

After introducing Pan Tianshou's "The Courtyard of Qingfang", Ye Tian pointed to the two smaller imprints on the wall, and continued to explain in a loud voice:

"Everyone, please look at these two imprints, which are located on both sides of the imprint of the painting. They are small in size and symmetrical in position. A pair of candlesticks were once hung in these two places to adorn the famous Chinese painting.

The candlesticks that are qualified to appear here are naturally not ordinary goods. They are a pair of gold-plated mahogany double candlesticks from the period of King George I of England. They have a history of more than 300 years and are very valuable!

These are the three antique works of art hanging on the walls, each of which is very rare and valuable, but unfortunately, they no longer belong here, leaving only a few marks that once existed"

"Hey!"

There was a burst of exclamation on the live broadcast, mostly from professionals in the field of antique art collection in New York.

Especially the antique dealers, collectors, museum curators, art dealers, etc. who have been to this top-level luxury house and talked here, all feel a sense of sadness at this moment that everything is different and the prosperity is gone!

Ye Tian's voice has never been interrupted, and it keeps reaching everyone's ears.

With his professional explanation, the live broadcast screen is also changing.

"Let's take a look at the area in front of the wall again. The imprint on the wooden floor is also clearly visible. Obviously, several pieces of furniture were once placed here.

Like the three antique artworks hanging on the walls, the furniture that was once placed here are also valuable and extremely rare antique artworks.

The white spots on the floor that are more worn out are the imprints left by the chairs. They are two huanghuali armchairs from the Ming Dynasty in China, with a history of four to five hundred years ago.

Ming Dynasty furniture is the pinnacle of Chinese classical furniture, with concise shapes, rigorous structures, and beautiful textures. Each piece is a unique work of art, especially Huanghuali furniture!

These Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchairs owned by Mr. An Siyuan can be said to be one of the top Ming Dynasty furniture in the world, almost unmatched, and can be called priceless treasures.

Everyone must be at a loss now and do not understand the value of these two huanghuali armchairs from the Ming Dynasty, so I will give the most intuitive evidence to prove their extraordinary value.

An Siyuan has a total of four Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchairs. At the special auction of Christie's Jinse Nianhua, this set of four chairs sold for a total of 9.68 million US dollars.

If the commission is included, the transaction price has steadily exceeded 11 million US dollars, that is to say, each chair is worth more than 2.8 million US dollars, which is definitely a sky-high price furniture, which is rare in the world!

The four Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchairs were photographed by Chinese collectors. In the field of Chinese antique art collection, Ming Dynasty huanghuali furniture is a priceless treasure! Can meet but not ask for! "

Before the words fell, the live broadcast was already fried, and exclamations rang out crazily.

"Oh my God! Did I hear you right? Is it real or fake? A chair is worth 2.8 million dollars. Even if a chair is made of gold, it won't cost so much money, right? It's too exaggerated!"

"My God! It seems that poverty really limits my imagination. An Siyuan is really extravagant. There are two chairs with a unit price of more than 2.8 million US dollars in the front hall.

Including the painting just now, the two gilded candlesticks from the Georgian period, and other things, the value of the antique artwork in this vestibule alone may exceed 10 million US dollars!

Also, the Chinese are so rich! How on earth did they make their money? Could it be that the wind is blowing, and it costs ten million dollars to buy four chairs! I can't even imagine it! "

While exclaiming endlessly, many people's eyes instantly turned red, all caused by envy or jealousy.

In the live video broadcast, Ye Tian continued to explain, with a clear and confident voice.

"Let's look at this circular imprint again. There used to be a bronze drum here. It came from the Song Dynasty of China. It is an ancient musical instrument with a long history of more than 900 years. It is very rare!

This Song Dynasty bronze drum is also very valuable. On the drum surface of this bronze drum, there is a flower basket from the Edo period in Japan. The carving is quite exquisite and rare!

On the floor in front of the chair, there is a woven carpet from Ningxia, China. It is a work of art with Chinese characteristics. It also has a history of hundreds of years and is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! "

During the process of Ye Tian's explanation, the exclamations on the live broadcast end came one after another, almost without interruption.

People were completely stunned by the luxury of the front hall and by An Siyuan's generosity. Everyone's eyes were full of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they just heard.

Is this the life of top antique dealers and collectors? There is no limit to luxury!

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, I have introduced all the antique artworks that were once displayed in this luxurious front hall. I hope you like them.

Next, it's time to get to the point, to see if there is any secret hidden in this front hall, and if there is the emerald ring I am looking for, I hope there will be a surprising discovery! "

Ye Tian's voice came again, waking everyone up.

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian had already stepped forward and started to inspect the wall facing the door, looking very careful and serious.

Of course, this is all a posturing for people to see!
