    These two chairs are eye-catching just by looking at their workmanship, but it still needs to be verified whether they are indeed made of rosewood.  First of all, we need to observe its color and texture. We know that the surface color of rosewood furniture is noble purple-red or purple-black, the texture is not messy, and the pattern is minimal or close to no texture and pattern. Venus gold wire or fine S-shaped curly ox hair  The lines are visible.  If you use a 60-100x magnifying glass, you can see that the tube hole is filled with golden pterostilbene, like a starry sky with twinkling stars.  Although these two chairs are both works from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen from the appearance that the owners of each generation have preserved them fairly well. Although the surface is already a little gray-white, you can still vaguely see the front part.  Said characteristics.  In addition, the silky velvet curls and smooth skin-like feel of red sandalwood furniture cannot be replaced by other woods. Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the two five-panel armchairs are made of red sandalwood.  ¡° In this way, both the pear wood table and the rosewood five-screen armchair are valuable. What¡¯s more, if the three pieces of furniture make up a set, the value will increase a lot.  At this time, Uncle Li came back with two brocade boxes, one large and one small. He smiled and said to everyone: "How is it? Do you like my set of furniture?" Everyone looked at each other and saw that the things were very good.  But Uncle Li won't sell them separately, which is a bit difficult to handle.  At this time, Zhao Qirui coughed and said to the others with a smile: "Leave me alone, I'm not interested in furniture or anything like that this time. Let's discuss it among yourselves." As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere among everyone suddenly changed.  Song, it will be easy to handle next. Zhao Xueyi is a fiber-stretcher, so there is no need to think about it. Although Uncle Wu likes it, first of all, he can't get so much money at the moment, and he is engaged in porcelain, so there is less competition with others.  Gained some confidence.  Therefore, it is no surprise that this set of furniture belongs to Zhu Dafu.  However, Chu Chen also saw an episode during this period. After Zhao Qirui finished speaking just now, Qian Changxing beside him seemed to also have the intention to buy. However, Zhao Qirui glared at him and stopped talking.  Afterwards, Qian Changxing felt a little resentful. Although the expression was fleeting, Zhao Qirui was the boss of a large company and had a sly look in his eyes, so he was still caught in his eyes. After that, he looked at Qian Changxing with even more dissatisfaction.  However, Qian Changxing didn't seem to realize this.  Chu Chen sneered in his heart: "This Qian Changxing is really an idiot. He is too self-satisfied. No wonder he is hated by Uncle Wu and the others." Afterwards, while they were negotiating the price, Chu Chen looked at the room.  This room should be a place specially used by Uncle Li to store antiques. It is very clean. However, except for the three pieces of furniture just now, it can be said to be empty. It should be what Uncle Li said before.  The collectors were all gone.  When Chu Chen glanced at the corner of the wall, he found that there was actually a Buddha statue there, which made him a little curious.  However, because the lights there were a little dim, Chu Chen couldn't see clearly while standing there, so he walked over there and took a closer look.  But at first glance, Chu Chen felt very disappointed. The height of this Buddha statue was about forty centimeters, and it was in the shape of a common Buddha sitting on a lotus platform. The whole body was carved from ordinary camphor wood, and the carving work was also very ordinary.  Its coating and carving techniques should be from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. No wonder it is placed in the corner here.  But since you have seen it, you should see it thoroughly. When Chu Chen wanted to turn the Buddha statue around, his mind moved.  It turned out that he suddenly felt in his left hand that there were two breaths in the body of the Buddha statue.  Needless to say, there was an aura that belonged to the Buddha statue itself, and there was also an aura that made Chu Chen daydream. Could it be that there was something hidden inside the Buddha statue?  Thinking of this, Chu Chen did not hesitate and immediately activated his powers. Sure enough, two breaths were sucked into his left hand. One breath was short and very weak, and the other breath was long and very strong. It can be said that  The most powerful aura he had felt so far.  This immediately lifted Chu Chen's spirits, and he began to examine the Buddha statue carefully. However, he couldn't see any problems inside and outside. This was normal. If it was so easy to see, then  It won't be left here anymore.  However, the price for one side has almost been negotiated at this time. Seeing their current behavior, they may guess that there is a problem with the Buddha statue, so they have to act quickly. If they still can't find the problem, they can only remove the Buddha statue first.  Let¡¯s talk about it after we get it.  Maybe it was luck. Chu Chen immediately used magnification to see a very small seam at the junction between the Buddha statue and the lotus platform, which was basically invisible to the naked eye. This should be the problem.  So he took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up the Buddha statue and walked towards the crowd.    At this time, Zhu Dafu had already negotiated the price with Uncle Li. In the end, Zhu Dafu got this precious set of furniture for 450,000 yuan. Both parties should be very satisfied with this price. Judging from the expressions on their faces,  You can see it in his smile.  After Chu Chen put the Buddha statue on the ground, he touched the back of his head and said to Uncle Li with a naive smile: "Mr. Li, my mother believes in Buddhism, and I usually don't have the money to buy a better Buddha statue for her. This time I'm here with you."  I just happened to see such a statue, and I think she will like it. Can I please go back and show my filial piety? " Everyone was stunned at first, especially Uncle Wu's eyes flashed with a strange look, and Zhao Qirui looked a little disappointed.  Then everyone began to look at the Buddha statue.  I saw that the material of this Buddha statue should be ordinary camphor wood, and the carving work is also ordinary. Fortunately, it is an object from the late Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as an old thing. Most people can worship it well.  Uncle Li looked at the Buddha statue, then at Chu Chen, and then said: "This Buddha statue was obtained by my grandfather back then." At this point, he paused, and then looked at Chu Chen, but Chu Chen's face  He still had a simple and honest smile on his face, and didn't notice anything strange. He was suddenly a little disappointed, thinking that he might have been worrying too much.  So he smiled again and said: "But no one in our family believes in Buddhism now. Since you are so filial, let me invite you back." Chu Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Li was staring at him just now.  Yes, he was so nervous that his emotions almost showed on his face, but fortunately he controlled it in the end.  Suppressing his excitement, Chu Chen thanked Uncle Li with a smile and a hint of gratitude, and finally got the Buddha statue for a thousand yuan.  At this time, Qian Changxing on the side said disdainfully: "Wu Ziping, your nephew has very poor taste. He even wants such an ordinary Buddha statue. Is it because it has never been seen on the market? Do you want me to introduce one to you?"  As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward, and a trace of anger arose in everyone's heart.  Needless to say, Chu Chen and others had a bad impression of him at first.  First of all, these words offended Uncle Li. He just said that this Buddha was obtained by his grandfather. If you say this, doesn't it mean that his grandfather has no taste?  How can this not make Uncle Li angry?  Zhao Qirui, on the other hand, is angry that Qian Changxing speaks regardless of the occasion. You and the other party don't deal with each other. You can compete on other occasions. But now you are the appraisal master hired by me, Zhao Qirui, and you represent my position. You are not talking like this for nothing.  Are you causing trouble for me for no reason?  Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Qian Changxing immediately realized that there was something wrong with what he just said, and felt annoyed in his heart. Why was he unable to control his anger after not seeing Wu Ziping for several years? Is this Wu Ziping not compatible with him?  , what a bad luck.  Seeing this situation, Qian Changxing stepped aside with an embarrassed expression.  Zhao Qirui coughed, broke the awkward situation, and said to Uncle Li: "Haha, Mr. Li, what kind of treasures do you have in these two boxes? How about we open our eyes?" Mr. Li smiled.  After a few words of greeting, the box was opened. Everyone looked at it and immediately let out a sound of exclamation.  There are two boxes, one big and one small. The small box contains a colorful bowl.  Doucai, also known as doucai, is a porcelain decoration technique that combines underglaze blue and white and overglaze colors.  Doucai porcelain was created and fired by the Jingdezhen kiln during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.  It is famous for its novel decoration and elegant colors. It is a major achievement in the history of my country's ceramic craftsmanship.  It is a combination of underglaze blue and white and overglaze multicolored, decorated together on the same porcelain surface, forming an artistic expression of underglaze blue and white and overglaze multicolored competing with each other, which is very artistic and ornamental.  This doucai bowl, the inner and outer rims are decorated with blue and white paintings of Sanskrit and cloud dragons playing with beads. The center and outer wall of the bowl are painted with doucai lotus pond and mandarin duck patterns. The accurate name should be called doucai lotus pond and mandarin duck pattern lying foot bowl.  Judging from its patina, texture, painting work, glaze color and other aspects, it should be the same piece, a doucai bowl imitating the doucai porcelain of the Ming Dynasty during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.  But inside the big brocade box, there was an exquisite white jade inlaid with the eight auspicious patterns of Ruyi. It was this Ruyi that aroused everyone's amazement.  Ruyi is an instrument that symbolizes auspiciousness in ancient my country. It evolved from the ancient tickle.  The earliest Ruyi, the end of the handle is shaped like a finger to show that the hand cannot reach, but it can be scratched as you wish, so it is called Ruyi.  Later, it gradually evolved into the "Wat" (also called Chaohu) for recording events, and finally evolved into a pure display of curios and became the current Ruyi.  This Ruyi is about 40 centimeters long and is carved from a whole piece of Hetian white jade. It is huge in size, has a smooth jade quality, a soft and graceful shape, exquisite carving and exquisite polishing. It is a rare treasure.  The head of Ruyi is Ganoderma lucidum, and the edges start off according to the shape.  Inside, there is a bas-relief of the Chinese character "Shou", surrounded by four treasures: an umbrella, a lotus, a pan intestine, and a goldfish.    If you wish, there are white caps, treasure bottles, and three treasures in the consecration of the dome of the handle, and there are Dharma wheels and bats in the consecration of the end of the handle.  There are alternating cloud patterns on the front and back of the handle, which is free and flowing.  The Ruyi carvings and decorations on this piece are clear and the auspicious meanings are present, which is the style of palace utensils.  (Please collect and recommend!)
