Moreover, this table lamp was made in 1907. At this time, Tiffany was already in his twilight years, his status and artistic level were at the peak, and the price was definitely higher.

Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, the principle of collecting is the same. There is a big difference in price between Wen Zhengming's calligraphy when he was forty years old and his calligraphy and paintings when he was ninety years old.

However, it is hard to say how much it is worth, and the engine cannot find any more information at this time.

Chang Xian is a little doubtful about life. Just this crap thing, starting with hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Maybe even more than the two calligraphy and paintings of Puru on hand, how big a hole in the brain does this have to have?

Also, who made this person an ugly person?

An industrial country with a history of only more than 200 years has no written language of its own. If you can read, it's good. What else can you expect?

Adhering to the law that the more something is missing, the more attention it takes and the more people like to show it off, this table lamp can be regarded as a cultural object to some extent, isn't it?

Once this thing involves national pride, its value will immediately change.

hehe!

What Boss Chang hopes most right now is that his international friends on the other side of the ocean will regard this crap as their national seal!

You can earn foreign exchange by visiting the ghost market, which is unique for Boss Chang.

How did this thing come across the ocean to Tianjin? Chang Xian guessed that it was the contribution made by the Five Avenues. After all, it is a concession, so it is normal for some foreigners to come out.

What's a little troublesome is that this thing can't be sold at a high price in China. How to get it to Chou Country is also a problem. There are no foreign-funded auction houses in China.

But don't get bogged down in these details.

So Boss Chang happily wrote down in his account book:

Tiffany signature table lamp, 1.

When talking about some place names in Tianjin, the word "Gu" naturally comes to mind, and people usually call it "Seventy-two Gu". The lower reaches of the Ji Canal with turbulent blue water, and the place names of villages along the bank are mostly called "Gu".

60 kilometers east of Jinmen City is Hangu. "Hangu" was originally a village on the east bank of the Jiyuan River on the banks of the Xiaoyan River. It has been a salt-producing place since ancient times. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the river was dug to transport official salt. Due to the differences between the dynasty (Han Dynasty) and the river (

It got its name from (gu).

It was morning, people were going to work, people were walking birds, and the land of Jingu was empty and quiet.

There are flowers planted in front of each door, vines climbing on the houses, green bricks and gray tiles, which are simple and natural. If it weren't for the occasional vehicles and telephone poles, it would really feel like time and space are out of order.

Chang Xiangzi parked his car at the entrance of the village, pushed out a small tricycle, and broke in from the dusty world outside.

He was wearing a dusty long-sleeved shirt, a pair of black cloth shoes, holding a large speaker, and shouted from time to time: "Collect old furniture, old porcelain, jade seals, bamboo and wooden toys, the four treasures of the study!"

As the saying goes, love what you do, and with this voice, he secretly practiced for two hours before he could barely shout like a mallet.

It may seem shabby to outsiders, but he enjoys it. I can travel freely across the land of Jingu, riding a three-wheeler to collect antiques, without any pressure, and in a leisurely manner. How many people can enjoy this feeling?

There are two types of things that traditional antique dealers collect.

One is to go to the countryside in person and wander around from house to house. This is called counting beads, which means counting them one by one. It is very hard, but the probability of missing something is high, and you can often get good items at a very cheap price.

.

There is also a kind of waiting rabbit. It is usually placed in the busiest and most well-informed place in the town, such as an inn. There is a golden toad with a pile of copper coins on its head. This is to tell the locals that I am coming to your place to receive goods.

, if you have any good things at home, you can bring them to the inn, buy and sell them on the spot, and just wait and see.

There are subtle differences between the two.

In big antique provinces like Henan and Shaanxi, people usually count Buddhist beads. They would rather go back and forth to look for them because there are so many good things.

When Rabbit usually passes by some places that are not rich in historical sites, is not familiar with the place, and may not be able to dig up good things, he will simply show his sign and let others come to him.

Modern society is not like in the past. The cities and towns are large, the flow of people is large, and there are many hotels and inns. The number of rabbits waiting for rabbits is gradually decreasing. However, the practice of counting Buddhist beads has become popular in recent years. It is specially found in rural areas or tomb robbers to collect goods, and then sell them after getting them.

To each businessman, people in the industry call them "guerrillas", also called "shoveling the land".

But the woods are big and there are all kinds of birds. Some people think that there is nothing wrong with the goods they buy from farmers in the countryside, but they don't know that some goods are fake businessmen who deliberately work with farmers to "lay landmines".

Something.

"Collect old furniture, old porcelain, jade seals, bamboo, wood and copperware, the four treasures of the study!"

The village is located along the Ji Canal, and from time to time you can see men, women and children dotting the place, chatting and doing something busy at the same time.

Chang Xian rode slowly, and the wheels rolled slowly. Seeing that most people were just watching curiously, without any interest, he was not in a hurry. He had done it several times in the city before, and this was the first time.

I came to the countryside once and made money while traveling by car. The mentality was great.

"Hey! Sister, do you have any old antiques, old furniture, old porcelain or anything like that at home?"

"Hey, aunt, please don't leave, let's chat again!"

"Brother, do we have any old things that we don't need? Take them out and have a look."

"Uncle, are you having a rest? Do you have an old abacus, old table, old chair, etc. at home?"

…

Chang Xian works as an office director, so he has long developed a thick skin and can chat with anyone.

He stopped and walked along the way, asking many villagers, and also followed the owner into some people's homes. At least he collected a few things and put them in the tricycle.

I saw a small square in front of me. It was empty, with a row of unknown trees planted on the east end and a few stone rollers under the trees. This should be the political and cultural center of the village.

Chang leisurely parked the tricycle under the tree, drank happily, and sat down on the stone roller. Alas, it is so blue!

As soon as his mind moved, under the phantom shadow of the copper coins, the whole hundred meters forward, backward, left, and right were covered by the induction. Nowadays, every family has something valuable, so there are a lot of spiritual inductions. Chang Xian can only rule it out based on probability.

For example, in some homes, there are scattered items, which may be high-end furniture, jewelry, etc. The probability of antiques is not high, but there is a household with more than ten spiritual sensations gathered in one place, so the possibility is high.

From a distance, the house seemed to be a three-story building. The architectural style also had some traditional Beijing style. When placed together with the surrounding houses, it seemed to stand out from the crowd. Chang Xian nodded, feeling more confident.
Chapter completed!
