Gregory blushed. As a senior appraiser, he certainly knew the situation of Faberge eggs.In fact, the whereabouts of these eight eggs has always been a mystery in the collection circle.Some people say that these eight Faberge eggs are purely non-existent, and some people say that these eight Faberge eggs were stolen by guards in the past... But no matter what kind of statement it is, there is no sufficient data to prove it, and According to the information obtained from the surviving imperial family and Faberge's descendants, the total number of eggs is indeed correct, but the price of the royal jewelry was not high at that time, and it is normal for people to secretly collect it. It's a mystery, but Gregory absolutely doesn't believe that he will be exiled to the East, so he didn't think about it at all.

However, for collectors, they will never let go of any opportunity. Even if the chance is not high, they will always fight for it. Don't even think about collecting any good things in your life. You must know that the stories of picking up leaks and digging out treasures often happen in such seemingly unlikely opportunities, so Albert's tone is already slightly unhappy.

"Murong, this is Mr. Albert from England. Their family has a lot of Chinese artworks, but they are very short of Western artworks. This time I want to see your Faberge eggs and paintings. .”

After Lin Songxian knocked on Murong Xianxian's room door, while introducing Albert to Murong Xianxian, he winked at her.

What do you mean?

Murong Xianxian was startled for a moment, and then thought of his introduction just now... This person should have a lot of Chinese cultural relics in her hands, if she has genuine ones, she might as well slash him hard.

"This is Mr. Gregory, an experienced appraiser." Lin Songxian continued to introduce Murong Xianxian.

"Oh, beautiful lady, nice to meet you!"

Albert greeted Murong Xianxian in Chinese in a friendly way. As a British aristocrat who has been trained in traditional British etiquette and has a good understanding of oriental culture, he knows how to deal with Chinese people. Slender and young without any neglect.

"Hello, Mr. Albert, please come inside."

Murong Xianxian politely invited everyone into the room, and after everyone was seated, she directly took out two paintings... The first of these two paintings is "The Farmer", and the second is "Corn Field". Both paintings have his autograph. Although the names of these two works have never been circulated in the collection circle, she believes that if she is really familiar with Van Gogh's works, she can distinguish the real from the fake.

"Gergory, you should come."

Although Albert himself is only a collection price, his appreciation of paintings is much higher than that of Murong Xianxian, but also, he is not as good as the professional appraiser next to him when it comes to authenticity, so he got up and went to the side After sitting down, he made room for Gregory.

"Wait!"

Just when Gregory was about to pick up the oil painting in front of him, Lin Songxian stopped him suddenly.

"Why, you said it was true just now, so you won't even let us see it now?" Geer Gao looked at Lin Songxian and Murong Xianxian disdainfully, he didn't believe that these people would have the real Van Gogh It is completely impossible for them to be two paintings that are not known at all.

"Mr. Gregory, I believe that when you were studying appraisal, your teacher should have taught you that you should wear gloves when appraising calligraphy and painting works, right? I want to ask, are you really an appraiser?"

Lin Songxian looked at Gregory with disdain.

Gregory's old face changed color again, because he thought in his heart that this could not really be the work of Van Gogh, so he subconsciously didn't follow the normal rules, but no matter what the reason was, once this matter got out, people would It became an indelible stain in his career, so he quickly stood up and apologized.

For such a low-level mistake, Albert is also a bit embarrassed. After all, he brought this person. If something really happens, the compensation is small, but if the face is ruined, it will be out of control.But seeing Gregory's sincere apology, his complexion improved a lot.

"Please continue." Murong Xianxian really didn't pay attention to this point, but the appraiser was a bit arrogant from the beginning, and he didn't object to giving him a blow.

After mouthing mud, Geergoli's aura weakened a lot. He quickly opened the bag he was carrying, took out a pair of white gloves and a magnifying glass, cut off the gloves, and picked up the painting "The Farmer" .

"It seems to be quite a shelf..."

In the antique business, Murong Xianxian is not very good at it, but she knows the real order of appraisal by cramming.To identify the authenticity of an oil painting, you must first check its materials, such as canvas, glue, oil, paint, etc., and then the painting method and style.

After the preliminary inspection, the originally relaxed expression on Gregory's face became a little dignified... He handled Van Gogh's paintings more than once, and he found that the wound on his hand was in terms of materials. , should coincide with the age in which Van Gogh lived.As a senior appraiser, he has absolute confidence in his own strength.In other words, even if the painting is a fake, those are fakes with a considerable age, and the cost will not be low.You must know that if you buy something from a century ago, the price is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

Albert seemed indifferent on the side, chatting with Murong Xianxian about some Chinese porcelain, but his eyes passed over oil paintings and Gregory's face more than once, as a senior antique collector and artist As a merchant, he has a feeling that maybe today he can really see two authentic works of Van Gogh that have never been shown before the world...Of course, this is just his feeling, but sometimes it feels really strange, It is also the closest to the truth.

"That's right, this is an authentic work of Van Gogh!" Gregory had finished appraising the first painting, and his expression was a little excited.

"Oh, are you sure?" Albert asked.

"affim."

Gregory nodded: "Unmistakably, he was the most passionate and lyrical painter of his time! For him, everything has expression, urgency and attraction. All forms, all faces have An astonishing poetry. He felt a mysterious sublimation in the life of nature, which he wished to capture. All this meant to him was a maddening and sweet enigma, which he wished his art to engulf. Enthusiasm is conveyed to human beings. He does not focus on the reproduction of objective objects, but on expressing feelings about things.

Van Gogh believed that color is not to achieve partial reality, but to reveal some kind of desire.You see, in this painting, the strong and loud color contrast has reached its limit, and his passionate swirling and dancing brushstrokes make his wheat fields, cypress trees, sunny sky, etc. look like flames. Soaring and trembling, it shocks the hearts of the viewers.In his paintings, strong emotions are completely dissolved in the symphony of colors and brushstrokes. "

Ge Geli was dancing, like an orator who has played to the limit, he carefully put down the painting, then turned to Murong Xianxian and said: "This is indeed Mr. Van Gogh's painting, Ms. Murong, I want to know, I hope you can tell me the origin of this painting."

"I'm sorry, I can only tell you that there is absolutely no problem with the source of these things. As for other things, you don't need to know. Your job is to tell Mr. Albert whether they are real or fake after seeing these paintings. Yes, that's fine."

Murong Xianxian can still understand Gregory's mood. Although it is difficult to appraise an antique, this is also what the appraisers are interested in. On the contrary, I am more interested.

However, it was impossible for her to tell the true origin of these items - she couldn't tell her that she had exterminated a vampire and searched his castle.

"I'm sorry, I took the liberty." Ge Geli was condescending, and quickly apologized to Murong Xianxian.

"It's okay, please continue." Murong Xianxian nodded slightly.

Of course, there is no problem with the second painting. Murong Xianxian never thought that there would be any problems with these two paintings. Those vampires will never collect fakes, even if they rob major museums when necessary, they will Will not collect a counterfeit.

"I heard that Miss Murong still has Faberge eggs?" Albert asked with a bit of eagerness in his tone.After verifying the authenticity of the two paintings, he became more confident in the artwork Murong Xianxian presented.

"Look!" Murong Xianxian had already found a brocade box to put the egg in, opened the box lid, and pushed it in front of Albert.

"very beautiful!"

As soon as he saw the Faberge egg, Albert's eyes almost fell into the egg. Gregory next to him was already waiting impatiently. He was already a little rude before Albert finished admiring it. Take that Faberge egg.

What Murong Xianxian took out was the first Faberge egg, of course Gregory knew about it.Faberge eggs are not necessarily the most expensive materials, but luxury and exquisiteness are its main features.When making Easter eggs, Faberge did not make them himself, but he gathered well-known craftsmen and jewelry from all over the country to make Easter eggs.Therefore, the Faberge egg embodies the exquisite craftsmanship of the entire Russian nation and also its value.

Seeing Ge Geli put down the brocade box gently, Murong Xianxian asked: "Mr. Ge Ge Li, do you have an answer?"

"This is indeed a real Faberge egg. It was a holiday gift prepared by Czar Alexander III for his beloved wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna in 1885." Gregory replied.
