Chapter 1356 Identification
Quiet, deadly quiet...
This time the auction was not as popular as before, and no one raised a placard after more than ten seconds.
"Everyone, the starting price is 10 million, and the bid is 1 million each time. Now you can start bidding." Gritting his teeth, Lin Tian said again.
Auction?
Bid for a hammer! In case of a modern imitation, not only will you lose money, but the most important thing is to lose face. They are not stupid people with a lot of money.
Everyone looked at each other, not moving.
Lin Tian: "..."
Looking at the unmoved crowd, Lin Tian almost died of anger.
He knew that after the episode just now, he had lost everyone's trust.
"If you don't believe it, you can identify it at will!" Lin Tian said with gritted teeth.
identification?
Of course it has to be authenticated!
Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Luo and Li Tai.
The former is the big guy who discovered Tang Yin's masterpiece, and the latter is the top appraiser of the Palace Museum.
"Elder Li?"
"Professor Qin, please..."
Qin Luo nodded, put on the magnifying glass, and walked straight to the bronze tripod.
This is a three-legged cauldron with a round mouth.
It is about 1.5 meters high, more than 2 meters in diameter, and about 15 cm thick.
The body of the tripod is covered with inscriptions.
Taking off his gloves, Qin Luo gently touched the wall of the tripod.
Different from the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, the texture of calligraphy and painting paper is relatively fragile and easily eroded by sweat. When appraising the calligraphy and painting, the appraiser usually chooses to wear gloves.
But the bronze ware identification is completely different. His material is very strong and will hardly suffer too much erosion.
And for the identification of bronze ware, hand feel is also a very important basis for judgment.
As soon as he started, a heavy feeling spread into Qin Luo's body through his fingers.
This is the mark left by the passage of time.
Qin Luo calmed down, took out the iron needle from the toolbox and pierced the patina. Generally speaking, if it is a genuine bronze, his patina is difficult to penetrate, while the rust forged with resin or glue will be very easy to pierce. penetrate.
Qin Luo probed hard, but the needle never penetrated the patina.
"How's it going? I'll say it's fine, right? I promise that this tripod is definitely genuine." Seeing this scene, Lin Tian raised his head slightly and looked at Qin Luo with a proud face.
He can guarantee that this bronze tripod is absolutely real.
Qin Luo was not in a hurry to answer. The two indicators did not prove that this bronze tripod was real. What if the other party had superb forgery skills?
Qin Luo smiled slightly, took out the knife from his pocket, and took off a piece of copper rust to observe its fractured section.
The cross section has a brown brilliance.
This is a real tripod!
one two Three……
Although a little unbelievable, this tripod is really a real tripod.
"Huh..." Qin Luo took a long breath and was about to speak, but Qin Luo swallowed it back when he reached his lips.
He smelled an odor, an odor that did not belong to the copper tripod itself.
It's a strong earthy smell!
After thinking about it, Qin Luo's eyes showed a hint of clarity, and he finally knew where Lin Tian's confidence came from.
Why did he have the guts to promise, because he knew where the tripod came from.
With a slight smile, Qin Luo walked towards Li Tai, "Elder Li, please..."
"My specialty is calligraphy and painting appraisal. I'm really not good at this bronze ware, but I have already notified another person, I think he should be here soon..."
"Boom..."
