Twenty-eight square seal stones, each with a starting price of 40,000 pounds. Affected by the increase in the collection of seals from the Celestial Dynasty, the number of seal stone buyers entering the market this year has suddenly increased and the market price is being driven up.So far, the price of seal stones has generally doubled, and even the best ones have quadrupled.
Especially this Octagonal Soapstone, it will definitely become a treasure for merchants and collectors from all walks of life."It's hard to find a good stone" and "a good stone is hard to find" has become the status quo of the industry's collection. This has increased the industry's expectations for the appreciation of bloodstone, and the price of bloodstone has continued to rise in a few years...
The three-footed Xuande incense burner has a warm and moist patina, and a treasure-like atmosphere. It does not change for a long time. The quality of the caster is average, and it has a natural and uniform wear, especially in the low foot. It is a rare authentic product.
The incense burner is the pinnacle of the Xuande reign of the Ming Dynasty. It is a fine product of the Xuande burner in the Ming Dynasty...According to the chart record, in the third year of Xuande three years, more than 100 casters led by the Ministry of Industry official Bang Zuowu began casting, and it was only completed in four years of Xuande. The number of Xuande furnaces should be 118,000. Among them, the incense burner during the Xuande period was signed.

This pair of well-preserved gilt single-ear vases with engraved flowers made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty has a similar double-eared vase in the Metropolitan Museum of the United States..."
Two stalwart experts, you and me, dated and valued every antique cultural relic, and every time you said the valuation, Arthur's heart was happy, and his heart beats wildly, if there were no outsiders. , To always maintain the noble style of his earl, he will definitely be overjoyed.
As for Paul, the housekeeper on the side, he was completely shocked by the price exposed. Although he suppressed his excitement, his face that was always calm and calm was also occupied by extremely unnatural expressions. His hands trembled a few times involuntarily.
Paul couldn't think that the "things" found in the utility room and the "second-hand goods" found in the flea market are really valuable antiques!
As for Arthur, he was very satisfied with the valuation of the gilt gilt one-ear vase made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, especially the review of the orderly inheritance. No doubt all of his preparations played a role, and he was marked by the heavenly. The price of 100,000 pounds of porcelain exported to European aristocrats is really not high. I believe that the price after the auction will be more exciting.
In addition to the happiness of Earl Arthur and Paul the butler, the person in charge of this trip at Grand Vader Auction House is also the happiest one. Although it is not a piece of boutique, but there are a lot of them. Sure enough, the old aristocratic family really has a deep heritage, just take it. Something can make people look up.
The valuations given by the two experts can only be regarded as starting prices or conservative valuations. After the auction is really up, these antique relics can be sold at higher prices. As long as the promotion works well, I can’t help but smile. Said: "Lord, do you want to shoot all these collections?"
Hearing this question, Arthur smiled and sat upright, leaning forward, reaching out and picking up the melon-shaped ivory bracelet from the tray, naturally staying on his left hand, and under the gaze of the two experts, he picked it up. The string of golden amber beads wrapped around the right wrist one after another, and once again reached out and picked up the piece of mutton fat white jade five-claw carved dragon jade plate and played with it.
"I personally like these three things better. I will leave the rest to your bank for operation. I hope that there will be a satisfactory result."
Regardless of hypocrisy or hypocrisy, to the British nobles, money is always a sensitive topic. For money, it is obviously a deep desire for money, but it is still very disgusting, and maintains contempt for those rich and powerful new rich. Whatever they say, their status is bought, not from a noble lineage...
Looking at the whole set of manners of the noble earl, the person in charge of the Grand Vader Auction House smiled and nodded quickly. "Please rest assured Lord that our Grand Vader Auction House is very professional and will definitely give you the best Satisfying result."
After talking with Arthur, he said to the two experts and two assistants who came with him: "Register the earl's collection, pack it 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 big smile: "Sorry, Lord, I have a gratuitous request. I don't know if I can talk privately."
Hearing this, Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the smile on his face, and nodded slightly and said, "Of course."
"It's too presumptuous, thank you for your understanding..."
With that, Arthur stood up from the sofa, nodded slightly to the person in charge, and walked towards the French window of the study. He was a little confused about what the other party wanted to say to himself.
"Dear Lord, in order to let more collectors understand the value of your collection, expand the influence of this autumn auction, and attract more interested collectors, we hope to show that this collection The source, the value represented by an orderly heritage of antique cultural relics is far from ordinary cultural relics..."
Sure enough, just like Arthur thought before, the other party will not miss the opportunity to gossip. Don't look at the decline of their Boleyn family, but the historical heritage of hundreds of years is there, just say an antique cultural relic. From the home of a certain earl, whether it is about the authenticity of the item or the inheritance, it has played a halo effect.
"Of course, since it is my collection, you can naturally promote it to the outside world." Arthur smiled and looked at each other, but his words deliberately emphasized the'my collection'.
"Cough cough... Of course, of course." The person in charge smiled on his embarrassed face, and after groaning, he whispered again: "Earl Arthur, our auction house will not accept anything from you. Regarding commissions, we will also charge 10% of the transaction price for the upfront costs. In international practice, commissions are mostly 15% to 30%."
"Oh? I really want to thank your bank for taking care of the Bolin family. Thank you very much." Arthur raised an eyebrow and smiled, thanking very happily.
"Haha..." The awkward smile on the face of the person in charge did not disappear, but because of Arthur's non-stubborn smile, his smile became even more rigid. Seeing the smile on the face of the opposite young earl, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said frankly. "Okay, Lord, I won’t go around the circle anymore. Let’s just say it. This autumn auction is an autumn auction that our bank attaches great importance to. For better publicity, we hope that you can let us borrow Bolin. Propaganda in the name of the family..."
