"Farke! How is this possible? Wasn't the "Chunhua Pavilion" in Ellsworth's hands already sold in 2003? The purchaser was the Shanghai Museum of China, and the transaction price was US$4.5 million.
The Japanese paid 11 million U.S. dollars but failed to buy the set of Dharma stickers. Who would have thought that Ellsworth actually still has a set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", and it seems to have an even longer history.
If what that guy Steven said is right, this is the "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" from the early Northern Song Dynasty, then I am sure that our auction house has missed a unique treasure! Big loss! "
The vice president of Christie's Auction House exclaimed, holding his head, his expression was extremely painful, and he was almost going crazy with regrets.
“You know, that was 4.5 million U.S. dollars in 2003. If you put it on the current antique market, you may not be able to buy that set of dharma stickers even if you spend 45 million U.S. dollars.
After the previous set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" was acquired by the Shanghai Museum, it was quickly designated as a national first-class cultural relic. It is a veritable national treasure of China, which shows its importance.
If this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Calligraphy" were really rubbings made in the early Northern Song Dynasty, then I simply can't imagine what level of cultural relic it would be classified as, let alone its value! "
An antique art appraisal expert from Christie's said with a bitter smile on his face.
At the same time, the same scene was playing out in many places.
Everyone who knew about this set of ancient Chinese cultural classics was stunned and could hardly believe what they saw and heard.
This also includes many professionals from domestic antique shops, and even officials from the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in New York and the Mission to the United Nations.
The live broadcast continued, and Ye Tian’s clear voice continued to be heard, reaching everyone’s ears.
After introducing the basic situation of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", Ye Tian began to use the "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" in his hand as an example to support his appraisal conclusion and give a rough valuation.
"I just said in the live broadcast that this is an important set of cultural classics from the early Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It is extremely precious and can be called a priceless treasure!
Why did I come to such an identification conclusion and be so sure? This is of course justified and well-founded, and it is definitely not nonsense. I will explain it one by one next!
The "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" I am holding now is the first volume of the entire set of dharma stickers, which is also the imperial volume. When we open this volume of dharma stickers, we can see the year of the rubbing, which is very clear! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian gently opened the cover of the ancient book in his hand and pointed to a line of small words on the home page.
Jason's mobile phone camera quickly followed up and took a close-up shot, displaying the small words on the live broadcast screen and in front of everyone.
"Please take a look, this line of text reads very clearly 'Rubbing in the third year of Chunhua'. From this we can see that this is the first rubbing version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", which is rare in the world!
Under this line of text, there are two red seals, which are very eye-catching. One is the collection seal of Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi, and the other is the collection seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji. It is not difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
It can be determined from this that this first set of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" should have come from the Northern Song Dynasty court and has been circulated in the hands of successive emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be regarded as an orderly inheritance! The context is clear!
The same seal is found in the other nine volumes of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes", as well as the seals left by several other Northern Song emperors, as well as the collection seal of a contemporary Jin Dynasty emperor!
It can be seen from this change that this initial set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", like its original owner Song Huizong, became a trophy of the Jin Dynasty and fell into the hands of the Jin Dynasty emperor! "
After hearing this, calligraphy enthusiasts and professionals familiar with traditional Chinese culture on the live broadcast went completely crazy!
"Oh my god! The first version of the Chunhua Pavilion was created in the third year of Chunhua, and it is a treasure of the Zhao and Song royal families! Is it real or fake? If it is genuine, this is probably the most important "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" in thousands of years.
Compared with this, the Southern Song Dynasty edition of "Chunhua Pavilion Collection" in the Palace Museum and the "Chunhua Pavilion Collection" set in the Shanghai Museum, which is said to be the rarest edition, are not worth mentioning at all! "
“I don’t know whether Song Taizong’s seal is real or fake, but Song Huizong Zhao Ji’s seal looks very real. I have seen it in his calligraphy and painting works.
If this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" is really the first version of the Chunhua Three Years, and it is a collection of the Song Dynasty royal family, then I am sure that there will be a magnitude 10 earthquake in the Chinese antique shop! "
Exclamations rang out in many places, and some professionals had even rushed to the TV screen, their eyes widened, and they carefully identified the ancient book in Ye Tian's hand.
They wished they could just get into the TV, appear in the luxurious apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, **** the ancient book from Ye Tian, and make it their own.
Without a moment's pause, Ye Tian continued to explain his identification basis.
"In addition to written information and these seals, we can also use another method to conduct scientific identification starting from the physical properties of this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie".
The conditions here are limited, there is no high-tech testing equipment, and analysis and testing cannot be carried out, but it doesn't matter, I naturally have my own methods, and I can also draw accurate identification conclusions.
Please take a look at the paper and ink marks in this volume of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes". Although they have gone through thousands of years, these papers are still strong and the ink marks are still clear. It is simply a miracle.
I can tell you that the paper and ink used to print this volume of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" are the famous 'Chengxintang Paper' and 'Li Tinggui Ink' in Chinese history. They are the top-notch stationery supplies. .
About Chengxintang Paper and Li Tinggui Ink, I won’t introduce it here. I can’t explain it clearly in one or two sentences. It would be a waste of time, and I believe everyone will not be interested in understanding it.
In Chinese history, it is said that only the original version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" used Chengxintang paper and Li Tinggui ink. Other versions did not have this treatment at all and could not afford it!
For thousands of years, this top-notch version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" has only existed in legends. No one has seen this kind of rubbings circulated. The set in front of you is probably the only one!
Although Chengxintang paper and Li Tinggui ink of the Southern Tang Dynasty have become extinct, there are still several antique works of art using this kind of paper and ink, and the identification methods have also been passed down. It is not difficult to identify!
I happen to have appraised this kind of antique artwork, and I have experience, so I came to this appraisal conclusion. This is the first rubbing of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", a truly priceless treasure! "
Many people have heard about Ye Tian’s ability and vision in appraising antique artworks, and know that he has never looked past it! No antique artwork can escape his eyes.
In addition, the identification evidence he gave is so powerful that it is almost irrefutable.
Based on what he said, people have completely believed it!
This is the first expanded edition of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" from the early Northern Song Dynasty. It is a truly priceless treasure that has fallen into the hands of that **** Steven again!
There is no doubt that God's eyes are blind again! I can't see anyone else at all, I only see that extremely lucky **** Steven!
The atmosphere on the live broadcast is getting more and more exciting! It's like boiling a pot.
Many professionals have already picked up their mobile phones, made calls, sent text messages, or used other means of communication to notify their friends and ask them to watch the live broadcast.
As a professional, if you miss this live broadcast and miss this opportunity to witness a miracle, it is best not to go out for a long time to avoid embarrassment!
This is not only the case in the field of American antique art collections, but also the Chinese antique shops on the other side of the ocean have been completely shocked. A tsunami has formed!
Many professionals in domestic antique shops were awakened by the sudden ringing of the phone and climbed out of bed sleepily.
When they heard on the phone that the first rubbing version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" collected by the Northern Song Dynasty royal family had appeared and had fallen into Ye Tian's hands, they were immediately stunned! He froze on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, they woke up and screamed like crazy!
Immediately afterwards, these guys rushed to the computer, preparing to climb over the wall to watch the treasure hunt live broadcast. Everyone's skills became extremely strong, regardless of age or gender!
Ye Tian's explanation continued, his voice was still clear, and he was getting more and more excited.
"In addition to the above, there is another basis for identification, which is the original set of rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie". Compared with the later versions, there are still some differences!
The original version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" ordered by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty to be published by his officials was engraved on a jujube board. It was compiled and engraved by the Hanlin Shishu at that time based on the ink ink of famous artists from the past dynasties collected by the Song Dynasty court.
If you are a professional who has studied "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", it is not difficult to find the difference between the two. There is no doubt that Zaomu's original "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" is obviously closer to the original.
Unfortunately, just over fifty years later, during the Qingli period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, there was an accidental fire in the palace. Unfortunately, all the original jujube wood rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" were burned, and not a single piece was left.
Due to this fire, the early rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" became particularly precious. They were regarded as treasures in the Northern Song Dynasty and were priceless! It is highly praised and pursued by countless literati!
This is the introduction to the identification basis of this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie"! Let’s talk about the valuation of this set of cultural classics. I believe this is what many people want to know and are most interested in! "
Hearing this, the eyes of countless people eating melons on the live broadcast suddenly lit up and began to emit green light.
"Isn't it! This is what we are waiting for!"
Ye Tian paused for a moment, then continued:
"In 2003, Mr. Ellsworth once sold a set of "Chunhua Pavilion Collection", known as the rarest book! The buyer was the Shanghai Museum of China, and the transaction price was US$4.5 million.
As far as I know, there were more than one museum that wanted to buy the set of dharma stickers at that time, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, several museums in Japan, and several other famous museums.
The Japanese offer even reached 11 million U.S. dollars, but Ellsworth rejected the offer and eventually sold the set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" to the Shanghai Museum, allowing it to return to its homeland!
In this regard, I very much admire Mr. Ellsworth's integrity. "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" is a cultural treasure of China. Only in China can it radiate the most dazzling light!
Compared with the set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" that Mr. Ellsworth once sold, the set in front of me is obviously better and its value is much higher than the previous set. The gap between the two is very huge.
There is no doubt that this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" is a priceless treasure and its value is immeasurable! If I had to give a valuation, then I would give a valuation of US$500 million! Only low but not high! "
"Ah! Five hundred million US dollars! This is going to break through the sky!"
All live broadcasts went crazy instantly, and the people who were doing this treasure hunt live broadcast went crazy instantly!
