Super Fire Appreciation Treasure Live Room

Chapter 36
The father and daughter carefully moved the collection up.

The collection is indeed fragile and fragile, and is more valuable.
-
It is a bronze mirror.

In addition to the bronze mirror, there is also a pair of bases.The mirror surface of the copper mirror is round and atmospheric, and the base below is firm and powerful.

After the girl placed the bronze mirror, she said: "Although the ancestor was an official, he was clean all his life, so he only left such a bronze mirror. It may not be worth much at the time, but the family has kept it carefully for so many years, and now it has Extraordinary meaning."

Lin Feng nodded frequently: "The extraordinary significance of this bronze mirror is not just the history left by the years."

"The ancients have a saying: 'Use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; use ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; use people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses.' So I guess the original intention of your ancestors to leave this bronze mirror is for this."

"Yes, that's right. This passage is also written in the column of our family rules and commandments. People in my family often tell me..." The girl pointed in the direction of her father, "Being a person must be upright and honest. For yourself in the bronze mirror, you must be able to have a clear conscience."

"Very well said."

Lin Feng fully agrees with this statement and highly appreciates it.

"So the family heirloom left to you by your ancestors is not only a mirror, but more importantly, such a spirit and quality."

"Yes." Both father and daughter nodded together.

Although it was not stated explicitly, netizens and viewers are convinced that this is a real and precious treasure.

"This bronze mirror is a round mirror with brackets, we can see..." Lin Feng pointed to the base.

"Bronze mirrors have changed the traditional way of holding them close by, and cast two legs under the round mirror as supports. Although this kind of bronze mirrors appeared in the Song Dynasty, they are still very rare."

"And it is simplified on the basis of similar mirrors in the Song Dynasty, and its shape is more regular."

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and pointed to the back of the round mirror.

"Although the mirror surface is round, it is shaped like a rhombus at the edge. This shape was very popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, but it was rare in the Ming Dynasty."

"According to the corners of the water chestnut flower, it can be divided into seven petals and eight petals. The one in front of me is the sunflower mirror with eight out. Saw eight equal parts on the narrow edge of the original circular mirror, and observe the traces. This should be used It is remade from an old mirror. It does not damage the mirror at all, which is very rare... very rare..."

Lin Feng nodded many times and sighed, this mirror is indeed rare in the world.

"Eight sunflower petals represent longevity and wealth, and look again..."

"Although the mirror surface is made of copper, the back of the mirror is somewhat similar to the porcelain surface, with gold plating on it. It is luxurious and imposing, and the workmanship is extremely fine..."

Lin Feng didn't wear gloves, so in order to protect this rare mirror, he instructed and explained it from afar.

Looking carefully, there seems to be something wrong with the green and rusty spots on the bronze mirror.

"How do you usually maintain this bronze mirror?"

Father and daughter looked at each other.

Dad replied: "Most of the time, use distilled water or kerosene to wipe it, because it may hurt if you use tap water."

No wonder.

There are some problems with the method.

"It's best not to use distilled water, kerosene is appropriate, but..."

"Don't brush too often. Kerosene, talcum powder, sea salt, vinegar, and lemonade can remove the patina of copper. My personal advice... If there is dust, just use a soft-bristled duster to dust it off."

"Because this mirror is more for decoration, placement, and inheritance. The practicality must be very low now, and the green rust has been removed many times. On the contrary, its value may be compromised."

Value may be lost?

"Okay! I understand!"

Father was a little surprised and nodded quickly.

Lin Feng unfolded the folding fan and explained while shaking it.

"The colorful patterns on the back are grape flowers, green vines and purple flowers. The colors are bright and clear, which means many children. And its lines are made of copper wire, which is very delicate."

"The surface inlay is enamel texture, which is varied."

"It's just...it has too many trachoma...it means the refining is not pure."

The heart that the father and daughter had just let go, was raised again.

"Don't worry too much."

Lin Feng waved his hands and smiled, "What dynasty do you think the bronze mirror in your family probably belonged to?"

"Maybe it's... the end of the Yuan Dynasty... the beginning of the Ming Dynasty." The girl replied hesitantly.

"It's on the edge."

Lin Feng leisurely waved his folding fan.

"This is a bronze mirror made in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and has been handed down to the present. It is really rare that it is so well preserved."

"The value is naturally quite high."

"Everyone can guess."

On the public screen, netizens guessed from hundreds of thousands to millions, or even tens of millions.

The father and daughter were also beating drums in their hearts, and they didn't dare to speak rashly.

Lin Feng took a sip of tea.

Slowly stretch out a finger.

"1000, the lowest."

1000 million...!
The highest bid for a cultural relic since the show started airing.

It was the first time in their lives that many of the audience observed and saw a collection worth tens of millions at such a close distance. When they heard the price quoted, there was an uproar, and they all stretched their necks, hoping to see more clearly and clearly. Some.

Lin Feng signaled the friends present to be quiet.

"Authentic works are indeed rare. However, after watching this program, many collectors may flock to related bronze mirrors."

"In order to prevent everyone from being deceived, please remember what I say next."

"There are many imitations on the market, especially high-quality imitations, which are difficult to distinguish. There are several commonly used methods to identify old and new bronze mirrors. The first one is to smell them."

Ever since Lin Fengchong heard the price, the father and daughter, who had been blissfully happy, waved to come over.

"Use a fan or other methods to smell carefully what this bronze mirror smells like, and then tell us."

The girl approached, fluttering her nostrils, and replied: "It's a little... a strange faint fragrance that is hard to describe. But it's hard to notice if you don't pay attention."

"Yes, it's just a light fragrance. It's the result of this bronze mirror reacting with the air for so many years. There are also some bronze mirrors that have a smell of earth, which are the bronze mirrors that have just been unearthed. And the newly imitated bronze mirrors smell Usually there's a sulfuric, soda-burned, coppery smell."

"The second way is to listen."

Lin Feng tapped the bronze mirror lightly with his fingers.

"It's a pity that there is no new imitation bronze mirror at the scene, otherwise everyone can feel a more obvious contrast. The sound of the old bronze mirror is relatively low and round, just like the muffled sound of 'dang' just now. The new bronze mirror is relatively Crisp, harsh even."

Lin Feng turned to the girl's father and asked, "Before going on stage, I saw you holding a relatively delicate bottle. Is that the distilled water you specially made for maintaining the mirror?"

Father nodded yes.
