The collection of antique clocks has a long history in European and American countries and is a very important antique collection category.
These antique clocks follow ancient technology, embody beautiful artistic taste, express rich history and culture, integrate a variety of unique craftsmanship, and have unparalleled charm and irreplaceable artistic value.
Before the 20th century, antique clocks were the exclusive favorites of royal families. No expense was spared in design, production, and materials. Almost every antique clock could be called a work of art.
To this day, these antique clocks that have been passed down are still the darlings of the antique art market, and are enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors. From time to time, some antique clocks will appear at sky-high prices.
And this is the reason why Ye Tian chose the gilt bronze clock in front of him.
Since you plan to deceive people, then do it very hard. Once you deceive a fool until he vomits blood, you will be scared and tremble in your dreams when you see him in the future!
In this way, you can also scare away other idiots with ulterior motives, so that those guys will not follow you all the time, which is annoying to watch!
Of course, this will definitely benefit the antique stall owner in front of him and make him a huge profit! This is something that cannot be avoided. I can only say that this guy was lucky enough to copy it!
The gilt copper Siming Bell placed in front of Ye Tian is a typical Baroque art style. It is complex in shape, luxurious and gorgeous, exquisitely made, and is engraved with exquisite patterns. It even looks a bit exaggerated.
On the top of this clock, there is a gilt copper angel. The figure is delicately carved and vivid. The base and the four Corinthian columns are also carved with some exquisite patterns and patterns.
The four sides of the clock are made of crystal clear crystal glass. The dial is a painted white enamel plate with Arabic numerals engraved on it. The hands are gilded and carved, and the pendulum is also made of white enamel!
More importantly, the dial of this gilt bronze clock is engraved with the signature of a famous nineteenth-century watch master, which looks very realistic.
When he first saw this clock, Ye Tian knew that it was a high imitation gilt copper clock and a fake, but he still secretly marveled at the manufacturing process of this clock!
There is no doubt that this is a very good modern handicraft, but it is a pity that it was not born at the right time!
If it was manufactured before the 20th century and was purely handmade, then it must be a valuable antique clock that has been passed down to this day!
Ye Tian pretended to look at the clock thoroughly inside and out, then raised his head to look at the antique stall owner, ready to ask about the price.
At this moment, the voice he had been waiting for finally came from the side.
“Steven, can you let me take a look at this clock? I like Baroque antiques very much. Now that I have come across such a clock, I don’t want to miss it!”
The speaker is a white man in his fifties. Judging from his attire, he should have some wealth. The limited edition Audemars Piguet Millennium on his wrist alone is worth 70,000 to 80,000 euros.
Obviously, this is probably a wealthy man who came to Nice for vacation and went shopping for treasures in the Place de la Sarreia. He did not expect to encounter such a bustle. Driven by greed, he also wanted to make some gains.
There is another possibility that this is an antique dealer, but this possibility is very small and almost non-existent.
The first time he turned around and saw this person, Ye Tian had a pretty good idea of his identity. The results of his secret perspective also proved his judgment.
This is a German rich man who came to Nice for vacation. He is also a layman in antiques. He only knows a little about related antique knowledge and industry rules!
Not only Ye Tian, but also the antique stall owner looked at the rich man and made a quick judgment, with a look of ecstasy flashing in his eyes.
For him, the German rich man who jumped out in front of him was simply a fat sheep waiting to be killed, and he must not let it go!
As soon as the German rich man finished speaking, someone else jumped out on the other side of Ye Tian.
“Mr. Steven, I also want to see this Baroque style table clock. It does look very exquisite and exciting!”
The speaker is a Japanese man in his thirties or forties. From his extremely awkward English accent and ninety-degree bow, you can draw the most accurate judgment.
No need to ask, this is also a Japanese tourist who came to Nice and wanted to make a fortune.
Same as before, the antique stall owner’s eyes once again flashed with ecstasy, and he almost cheered.
At this time, he no longer hated Ye Tian for ruining his good deeds and letting the cooked duck fly from his mouth. Instead, he began to secretly thank Ye Tian!
Of course, the premise is that this gilt copper clock can be sold smoothly and at a good price.
Ye Tian looked at these two idiots who didn’t know how to live or die, then his face darkened and he said with a sneer:
“Gentlemen, what you are doing is not very authentic, is it? I am admiring and appraising this gilt bronze clock, and I am about to ask about the price. You jump out and interrupt at this time. It is against the rules!”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Steven, I am not an expert in the antique industry and I don’t understand your trading rules. I am presumptuous, but I really like this antique clock!”
The Japanese said sincerely and bowed again at 90 degrees, with greed shining in his eyes.
As for the German tycoon, it was even more straightforward.
He walked directly to Ye Tian, looked down at the gilt copper clock, and then began to inquire about the price from the stall owner.
“Man, what’s the price of this gilt bronze clock? As long as the price is right, I’m interested in accepting this gilt bronze antique clock”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese man walked over quickly, looked at the gilt bronze clock, and then looked at the antique stall owner.
However, the antique stall owner did not give a quote immediately. Instead, he looked at Ye Tian to see what his reaction would be.
Ye Tian just smiled bitterly, shrugged helplessly, and didn’t say much.
Seeing this situation, the stall owner could not wait, so he immediately gave the price of the gilt copper clock.
“Gentlemen, the price of this gilt bronze clock is 150,000 euros. If you are interested in this clock, you can bid fairly and the one with the highest price will get it!”
“I’ll go, 150,000 euros, this guy really dares to open his teeth, and he’s ruthless with the knife, he’s a shady guy!”
Ye Tian secretly complained a few words and almost laughed out loud.
After giving the quotation, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes full of expectation and vaguely uneasy.
Not only the stall owner, but also everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, wanting to see what reaction he would give, especially the German rich man and the Japanese, who stared at him closely.
Ye Tian glanced around the scene, then looked at the German tycoon and the Japanese, and said to these two idiots:
“Gentlemen, I will not comment on this offer. If you think it is worth the money, then you can bid fairly, and maybe I will join the competition later.
If you are unwilling to be the first to respond and want to wait for me to make the first move before you follow up with the bidding, then you will probably be disappointed. I will not be the first to respond. That is not my style.
If you withdraw, then when I negotiate a deal with this stall owner, you’d better not get involved again. That approach is not only unethical, but also very despicable! “
The scene became quiet and there was no sound.
The German rich man and the Japanese were both stunned on the spot. They didn’t know what to do for a moment, whether to pay the price or not!
The rest of the people looked at them, waiting for them to make a decision!
