In the end, Yang Jing spent a thousand dollars in foreign exchange coupons to pack up these treasures, which are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars...
Although the specifications of the inlaid treasures bed far exceeded the small-leaf red sandalwood bed that they had seen just now, with the small-leaf red sandalwood bed in front, this inlaid treasures bed with excellent appearance did not attract the interest of the two masters.
In the Ming Dynasty, the bed inlaid with hundreds of treasures was not used by the royal family, not even the princes, so this bed was actually used by the emperor, empress, and imperial concubines. One of the important reasons why Yan Song was beheaded was that he actually used this bed inlaid with hundreds of treasures in his home, which caught him in the act.
You said that you, Yan Song, were at least second to none in the past. If you really wanted to be the emperor, you should just rebel. Why did you sleep on such a bed secretly at home? The result was that he was caught by someone and the emperor chopped off his head.
Actually, the small-leaf red sandalwood Luohan bed we saw just now was probably used by an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was a Luohan bed made of large pieces of small-leaf red sandalwood, and ordinary princes and ministers probably didn't have the financial resources to build such a Luohan bed.
In addition to this excellent-quality inlaid Luohan bed, all the furniture that Yang Jing and Lao Na bought from the warehouse of the Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory were placed in this room.
Because of the small-leaf red sandalwood Arhat bed, in this room Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo paid more attention to the set of four old sea yellow armchairs from the Ming Dynasty and the red sandalwood cloisonné enamel royal blue ground inlaid with various treasures and twelve screens with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea made by Emperor Qianlong.
This style of armchair is obviously different from other types of Ming Dynasty old Haihuang armchairs. There are only eight of them in the world, and four of them are abroad. The four in China are not a complete set.
In other words, this set of four Ming Dynasty old Haihuang armchairs is the only complete set of Ming Dynasty old Haihuang armchairs of this style in the world.
This is the only one in the world, so its value is huge...
As for the twelve-panel screen with rosewood cloisonné enamel, royal blue ground and inlaid with various gems and depicting the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which was made by Emperor Qianlong, it is of such good condition and such a large size that it is extremely rare in the world. There may be only one screen of this shape in the world.
Those who collect antiques and artworks know that nothing should be associated with the "world's only"; once it is associated with that four-character phrase, its value will be multiplied. And this set of four Ming Dynasty old yellow armchairs and this Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel sapphire blue ground inlaid with various treasures and twelve screens with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea in this room can probably be associated with the "world's only" phrase...
The four masters stayed in the nine northern rooms for more than two hours, and then visited other rooms. Then Yang Jing asked Pete Wu to open the door to the basement and took the four masters into the basement.
If admiring the treasures in the house just now had already made the four masters distracted, then when the four masters saw the basement full of treasures, they almost had a heart attack.
This basement of more than 2,000 square meters has long been converted into rooms. Each room is about 40 to 50 square meters. Under the control of good central air-conditioning, the temperature and humidity in the basement are maintained at excellent levels, and the environment is no worse than those in museums.
The most important thing is that there are too many treasures stored in the basement.
Hardwood furniture, porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting, rare ancient books, pottery, jade, stone, seal stone, four treasures of the study, Buddha statues, gilded objects and other miscellaneous items from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen in this huge basement. And the number of each type is not just one or two, but at least several pieces of each type, and at most hundreds of pieces.
Especially the large number of porcelains, which almost made Fourth Master Cai Yi's eyes pop out.
In seven or eight of the basements, there are rows of antique display shelves, all filled with porcelain.
There are thousands of pieces of porcelain from the Five Kilns of the Song Dynasty to the Three Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, all of which are top-notch pieces, including some that are national treasures! These pieces alone are enough to open a small porcelain museum.
The four masters, Gege, and Guo Xiaoxiang were all stunned...
