My system is not decent

"Ah? So expensive?" Li Jinli said in surprise.

"Yes, it's so expensive. I'm afraid you can't imagine that Mr. Qian's research on bloodstone is the pinnacle of excellence!"

For the research on bloodstone, Chen Wenzhe really admired Qian Qinggu.

And with such a unique skill, Lao Qian can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai?

The most important thing is that in the antique market, he has hidden such a large net worth without showing off, which is definitely not easy.

If you think about it, you will know that there are no shops that trade bloodstones in the antique city, and the bloodstones in Qian Qinggu's hands are all bought from other places.

After buying it back, it is a low-key collection, so naturally not many people know about it.

"So, these seals are all fake? Where are the fakes? Is the bloodstone okay? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to buy it for 300 million?" Li Jinli was still puzzled.

Chen Wenzhe shook his head: "As I said just now, if there is no problem with the bloodstone, then these six seals are worth 6000 million."

Li Jinli was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't have much research on bloodstone.

Therefore, he simply did not look at the bloodstone, but concentrated on looking at the printed text.

In terms of sculpture, he has also recently studied it. After all, Chen Wenzhe's craftsmanship is too exquisite, which also aroused his interest.

"Look at the seal, is this hand-carved?"

After taking that seal, on Zheng Banqiao's seal, except for a clump of bamboo, which is his name, there is nothing fancy about it, and this is the brilliance of the imitator. There are too many imitations, and it is easy to show flaws .

Also, instead of machines, using hand-carved, naturally, the less things to carve, the less effort you will have.

If you use a machine, there are too many exposed traces, especially the machine wiring.

Whether it is the animal button carved by the machine or the lettering on the bottom, there will be evenly arranged thin lines, which is the machine wiring.

We must be clear that the ancient artisans worked slowly and meticulously, and they were all meticulously crafted.

However, machine-carved, or half-machine-carved, half-manually decorated, are hard to come by.

Some common imitations in modern times are impetuous craftsmen, without the ingenuity of the ancients, crudely crafted, sluggish and lacking in three-dimensional beauty, which are still very easy to identify.

However, these works in Chen Wenzhe's hands are obviously different, they are obviously exquisite works made with care.

There are many imitations of seals of famous masters in the antique market, and many novices will buy imitations if they are not careful. This is mainly because we lack the patience to check information and compare.

Looking at the handwriting, no matter ancient or modern, the characters are like the person.

Before buying a seal, check to see if there is a signature on the side, that is, it is similar to someone engraving (published, produced, made) at a certain time in a certain year.

If there is, use your mobile phone or computer to search for calligraphy and painting works or seals related to the engraver, and then compare the handwriting.

There is no need to worry about seal carvers knowing several kinds of calligraphy, because signature is a habitual problem, just like writing your own name, few people will write in various ways.

In fact, it is very simple to identify the seal. The inscribed name, handwriting, and the original handwriting are compared and analyzed. If the style or the sharpness of the strokes are different, you don’t need to think about it.

Finally, let's look at the technology. The technology here refers to the engraving technology of the font on the stamp.

The engraving of the chapter face is not like the inscription, it is an artistic creation from plane to three-dimensional, and then to plane.

Therefore, the seal maker's calligraphy and seal cutting skills are specially tested. Modern imitation seals can be divided into two types: manual imitation and computer imitation.

First of all, let's talk about hand-imitated seals.

The lettering on the seal surface of the hand-imitated seal has obvious traces of hand-carving. The magnifying glass shows that the notches are of different depths, and the edges of the font strokes have cracks.

However, if the ability of the chapter maker is limited, the font layout on the chapter surface will lack design, the overall sluggish and ugly, and the strokes of the font are twisted and dull, which can be understood as having no strokes.

Therefore, people who understand this will know whether it is worth collecting when they look at the font on the chapter face!

Then there are computer-imitated seals. In most cases, the fonts are arranged neatly, the fonts are notched in the same depth, and there are evenly distributed thin lines.

The strokes of the font are viewed with a magnifying glass, and there are almost no cracks and straight up and down.

The three-dimensionality of the font is lacking, and the strokes are blunt. However, the computer-imitated seal has an advantage, that is, it is very similar to the imitation.

Seeing Shen Yun, if you are not very familiar with it, most people can't see it.

Therefore, the identification of ancient seals still depends on whether the seal is exquisite or not, whether the handwriting is beautiful or not, and then the price.

Do not buy general seals with weak, coy, and no charm at all. Even old seals have little collection value.

Do not buy if the font on the chapter surface is too neat, and the notches have obvious and evenly arranged lines. Computer engraved ones can only become handicrafts rather than works of art, and they are also of little collection value.

Of course, you should also pay attention to whether the ridges of the seal are round or not, but the new seal has edges and corners, or there are obvious traces of grinding!

Li Jinli's basic skills are very solid, but only looking at the handwriting, carving and other details, he must not be able to see anything on these six seals.

Otherwise, veteran players like Qian Qinggu who are very proficient in bloodstones, or seals, would not be fooled.

As for what he said was bought in the 90s at a cost of more than 300 million, just listen to it.

The things must have been made in that period, and he refurbished them later. As for the purchase price at that time, let him say as much as he said!

The craftsmanship of the second renovation is also very clever, and it is also old.

The traces of distressing are very light, if you don't pay special attention, even if Chen Wenzhe is a master of distressing, you can't see it.

Since it was hard for him to see it, Li Jinli naturally couldn't see it.

So, no matter what Li Jinli thought, he was at a loss in the end.

He clearly knew that it was a fake, but all he saw was exquisite, beautiful, gorgeous, and valuable!

This made Li Jinli very frustrated. He felt that what he had been pursuing all along seemed difficult to achieve!

"Am I not talented in appraisal?" Li Jinli was a little skeptical about life.

Chen Wenzhe shook his head directly: "You are already considered very good. After all, it has only been half a year, and you have already learned so many basic skills. I told you a long time ago, generally do not touch seals and other things. This thing, the current high imitation, is definitely up to the mark. It's at the level of realism."

The main reason is that the current computer engraving technology is too powerful, and with the modification of some manual masters, it is even more difficult to identify.

In this antique market, the bloodstone water is also very deep!

It's just that the fakes of this level in his hands are probably not so easy to make, otherwise, there will be no reaction in the market.

Seeing that Li Jinli was struggling, Chen Wenzhe could only give him some basic methods to identify such fakes. The most important thing is to use a magnifying glass to look at the texture, that is, the stone pattern.

This depends on experience, but there is no way. Things that have been transformed from bloodstones with bad colors can also see some clues from the texture.

Only when you see something wrong can you completely deny a work.
