Chapter 472 1895 French Gilt Bronze Clock
Aura is very illusory, and no one can fully explain what aura is.
But one thing is certain that when facing those top figures, you can really feel something called "aura" from them.
Or in other words, an extraordinary temperament can make you feel that you are not an ordinary person at first glance.
Just like when you see Chen Xiuwen at close range, even if Chen Jing and Kong Xue don’t know his identity in advance, they will probably have a subconscious mind. The other party’s temperament of being superior for a long time is very obvious.
Chen Xiuwen looked at Chen Jing and the other two in turn, and his eyes stayed on Chen Jing for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Wait for a long time, sit quickly, don't stand."
The three of them sat down when they heard this. Then, while Chen Jing poured tea for Chen Xiuwen, she asked directly: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you looking for Chen Jing?"
After she asked, Chen Jing and Kong Xue also looked at Chen Xiuwen.
"I naturally want to meet Chen Gu's apprentice. He had said before that he would not accept personal disciples. Now that he has made an exception, the apprentice he has taken must have outstanding features, so he wants to meet him. As soon as he saw it, Chen Xiuwen took a sip of tea and responded slowly.
But his response obviously could not allow Chen Jing and the other two to fully resolve the doubts. Just the same thing, if he really wanted to meet Chen Jing first, it would not be necessary for Chen Jing to take him to see him alone in the study room.
Chen Jing immediately prepared to ask clearly, but Chen Xiuwen looked at Chen Jing at this time and said, "At such a young age, Chen Gu was accepted as a personal disciple. I think your talent in treasure appraisal and archaeology is extremely That's right, you must be a genius."
Chen Jing responded modestly when he heard this: "You are too proud. I am not a genius, I am just an ordinary person." The talent may be a bit, but Chen Jing is indeed not a genius, and he is still quite self-aware.
Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "Just this humility is not something that ordinary young people can do." He was not stingy with Chen Jing's praise.
Then, he suddenly looked at Chen Jing, pointed to a box placed in the corner of the study and said, "Xiao Jing, go and take that box over."
Chen Jing responded, got up, walked over and took the box.
The box is not small, and Chen Jing still has to hold it horizontally with both hands to hold it. After putting it on the tea table, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandpa, what is there in it? It's quite heavy."
Chen Xiuwen did not respond to her question immediately, but just looked at Chen Jing and said, "I have learned some of your situation. I have just entered the antique industry and have identified my vision as no less than some people who have been famous for a long time. If you follow your antique industry's latest professions With the level division, your current identification vision has at least reached the level of a treasure appraiser."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing's expression immediately condensed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Not to mention the treasure appraiser, he can pass the appraisal expert's assessment every day, and his own appraisal vision may also be close to the appraisal appraisal.
But this is not the point. The point is why Chen Xiuwen understood his situation?
It is not common sense to be the other party's status.
Therefore, Chen Jing was almost instinctively instinctively taking some precautions against Chen Xiuwen, even if the other party was Chen Jing's grandfather, even if he seemed to have no place worthy of Chen Xiuwen's targeting.
But you must be careful of others. Chen Jing also has a big secret like the divine eyes of treasure appraisal. It is always nothing wrong to be cautious.
What a person Chen Xiuwen is? Seeing that Chen Jing's expression changed, he immediately knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, what can you do to let me do?"
Chen Xiuwen's words were so open that Chen Jingzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He asked directly: "Grandpa Chen, what's wrong with you looking for me?" He couldn't help it now and asked directly Come out.
Chen Xiuwen said: "No hurry, you can take a look at this first." As he said that, he reached out and opened the box that Chen Jing brought over.
A golden clock with a base and a white dial is quietly placed in the box.
"This is..." Chen Jing saw the thing in the box and said in surprise: "This is a clock."
The box is a clock, which looks like it is copper and gilded, and the top is carved with a little angel. It is very skillful and not an ordinary clock.
"No," Chen Xiuwen nodded, asking with some anticipation in his eyes: "This is an antique clock. Can you identify it?"
After a brief pause, he added: "If you can identify the right one, I will tell you what you are looking for."
Chen Jing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and some speculation immediately emerged in his heart. After hearing what Mr. Shen said, he was qualified to be found by him after identifying the bronze gilded bell in front of him.
If the identification is wrong, there is probably no follow-up.
Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn't help but feel a deep curiosity in his heart. What should Chen Xiuwen do? Based on the current situation, the only thing that can be confirmed is that what he wants to say must be related to the identification of eyesight. .
His thoughts were like lightning, and Chen Jing also said on his face: "Grandpa Chen, I'll try it." He was really curious about what Chen Xiuwen was doing.
"Okay, give it a try." Chen Xiuwen said after taking a sip of tea.
Then, Chen Jing stretched out his hands and carefully picked up the copper gilded clock, and made a careful identification with his expression.
But it's useless to be serious, because the style of this copper gilt clock is obviously not Hua and Xia antiques, but foreign antiques. Chen Jing has not studied and studied foreign antiques so far.
Therefore, after trying it out with his own identification eyes, Chen Jing still honestly used the treasure appraisal eyes.
The next moment, a golden light appeared in front of his eyes, and it turned around the copper gilded bell in his hand, then returned to his eyes and turned into rows of appraisal texts.
"This item is: 1895 flange/Siloccoco style François Linker's gilt bronze clock."
"Historical value of this thing: François Link was the greatest furniture maker in the late 19th and early 20th century West.
