C1356 Identification
Silence, dead silence...
The auction this time wasn't as intense as before. After a dozen seconds, no one raised their cards.
"Everyone, the starting price is 10 million. Each time you raise your hand, it will be 1 million. You can start bidding now." Gritting his teeth, Lin Tian said once again.
Auction?
Auction hammer! If they managed to get a modern imitation, not only would they lose money, but they would also lose face. They were not fools with money.
Everyone looked at each other and remained unmoved.
Lin Tian:... ""
Looking at the unmoved crowd, Lin Tian was almost angered to death.
He knew that after the interlude just now, he had already lost everyone's trust.
"If you don't believe me, you can appraise as you wish!" Gritting his teeth, Lin Tian said.
Appraise?
Of course it had to be appraised!
Everyone's gaze fell upon Qin Luo and Lee Tai.
The former was a big shot who had discovered Tang Yin's brush, while the latter was a top appraiser in the Palace Museum.
"Elder Li?"
"Professor Qin, please..."
Qin Luo nodded, put on the magnifying glass, and walked straight to the bronze cauldron.
This was a round, three-legged cauldron.
It was about 1.5 meters tall, more than 2 meters in diameter, and about 15 centimeters thick.
The body of the cauldron was engraved with inscriptions.
Qin Luo took off his gloves and gently touched the wall of the cauldron.
Different from an appraisal painting, the quality of the painting paper was relatively fragile and could easily be corroded by sweat. During the appraisal process, the appraiser would usually choose to wear gloves.
However, the appraisal of a bronze artifact was completely different. The material of the painting was very sturdy and would not be corroded too much.
Furthermore, the texture of the painting paper was also a very important basis for appraising a bronze artifact.
As soon as he touched it, a heavy feeling passed through his fingers into Qin Luo's body.
This was a mark that could only be left behind after years.
Qin Luo's heart slightly calmed down. He took out an iron needle from the toolbox and stabbed it into the copper rust. Generally speaking, if it was a real bronze item, it would be very difficult for the copper rust to pierce into it, and the rust forged with resin or glue would easily penetrate through it.
Qin Luo used his strength to probe, but the needle did not pierce through the copper rust.
"How is it? Didn't I say there was no problem? I guarantee that this cauldron is the real deal. " Seeing this scene, Lin Tian raised his head slightly and looked at Qin Luo with a proud expression.
He could guarantee that this cauldron was the real one.
Qin Luo did not reply in a hurry. The two indicators did not prove that this copper cauldron was real. What if the other party's forgery skills were superb?2
Qin Luo smiled slightly and took out a small knife from his pocket. He took out a piece of copper rust and observed the broken section.
The section was brown in color.
It was really a real cauldron!
One, two, three...
Even though it was a bit hard to believe, this cauldron really was a true cauldron.
"Hu..." Qin Luo took a deep breath and was about to say something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He smelled a scent that didn't belong to the cauldron itself.
It was a strong smell of dirt!
After thinking for a while, Qin Luo's eyes revealed a hint of understanding. He finally knew where Lin Tian's confidence came from.
Why would he have the courage to guarantee it, because he knew the origin of this cauldron.
With a slight smile, Qin Luo walked towards Lee Tai, "Elder Li, please..."
"My specialty is painting appraisal. I really don't hold this bronze artifact in my hands. However, I have already informed another person. I think he should be arriving soon..."
"Clang!"
