The antique market is flawed, but it is entirely based on personal judgment and opinion. You can see its quality, judge its price and buy what you like at the lowest price. It's just that it's really hard to meet one or two genuine products in the antique market in recent years. Basically, they are mainly fake imitations. I can only say that I may meet one or two when I am lucky, but this kind of leakage is not easy to pick up. In the world of antiques, something is missing, but it can't be found.
In fact, it is really a matter of learning. There are leaks in the antique market, but generally we dare not touch such leaks, because many things are often done in an instant, some things are well done but fake, and some things you dare not touch without a lot of knowledge reserves.
Appraisal method of antique market collections
The methods to identify genuine and fake antiques in the antique market are to feel the weight of antiques, listen to the sound and carefully observe and identify them. Bronze antiques are all weighed by hand. If they are too light or live too well, they will attract attention. Of course, this is all based on experience. In addition, you can also tap the object by hand and listen to its sound, if it is thin and light and crisp; If the voice is turbid and makes a "buzzing" sound, you need to be vigilant.
Antiques in the collection of calligraphy and painting should be observed and identified from the aspects of paper, ink, color, painting style and fluency of brush strokes. First of all, you should have a good understanding of the author's styles and skills in different periods. It's best to look at some of his works that have been confirmed as original works in museums and other places. Knowing these historical knowledge can help you easily see through when you are fooled by the seller. There is another situation that needs attention, that is, "old paper and old ink make new paintings."
