Modern mahogany veneer large picture frame, pedal, table small box size: 270? 9 1? 82cm; 109? 30? 16cm; Transaction price: 654.38+02.65 million yuan.
First of all, we should start from ponytail to make a fortune. Although Ma Weidou is famous now, he is neither a scholar nor a collector. At first, he was just an ordinary worker without education. He co-edited several articles about antique collection with the magazine and joined him in the antique industry.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Huang Huali was placed in pairs with double-deck cabinets, with specifications of 99? 49.5? 181.5cm? 2. The transaction price is 6.5438+0.265 million yuan.
But calligraphy and painting need more appreciation knowledge than porcelain and other utensils. Therefore, Ma Weidou, who was relatively lacking in collection knowledge at that time, chose to start his own collection from cultural relics. He has accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in the process of collecting cultural relics, so he is rooted in this field.
In the mid-Qing Dynasty, rosewood embossed black lacquer landscape painting, flower and bird arhat bed, rosewood waist-less kang table, clinch a deal 1 1.5 million yuan.
Second, the status gap between painting and calligraphy collection and utensils collection at that time. As we all know, calligraphy and painting have been practiced in not fade away since ancient times. In any period, there are a large number of collectors who spend a lot of money on the paintings and calligraphy of celebrities. This led to the high price of calligraphy and painting. However, in the early days of Ma Weidou's collection, most people didn't realize the value of the collection, and even few people paid attention to it. Therefore, they can be bought at a very low price.
Huanghuali in the late Ming Dynasty was made of single-board head boxes. The size is 173.3? 34.2? 83.8 cm, the transaction price is 6,543.8+005,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This is Ma Weidou's wish. At the beginning of the struggle, he didn't have much money at hand, so it was very appropriate to choose utensils. He has a high eye but a low hand, and he talks eloquently, playing again and again? Empty-handed white wolf? . This was a common technique used by collectors at that time, but Ma Weidou played the best. He expanded his collection step by step, collecting broken bottles and tiles that others looked down upon.
Long Yun's throne carved from rosewood in Qing Dynasty is carved with Furong Shoushan. The dimensions are140cm long, 90cm wide and120cm high. The transaction price was 9.52 million yuan.
The above two points are the reasons why Ma Weidou attaches importance to objects rather than calligraphy and painting. However, if we want to explore the root cause of Ma Ye's failure in collecting calligraphy and painting, we should return to the extremely high requirements of the antique industry for practitioners. We know that antique collectors have too much design knowledge. Many experts specialize in technology and choose one or two aspects to improve and reach the peak. It is difficult to be comprehensive. So is the famous Master Ma.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Huang Huali carved a dragon pattern with a height of 320cm, a width of190cm and a depth of 75cm. The transaction price was 9.438 million yuan.
Ma Weidou has been pursuing artifacts for decades. He has mastered this field and cultivated first-class appreciation ability. However, due to the shelving of paintings and calligraphy, Mr. Ma's ability to distinguish paintings and calligraphy is not as good as that of utensils, so he has been very cautious about the collection of paintings and calligraphy. Ma Weidou has always insisted on his major in his collection career. Just like this, the collection of Guanfu Museum is of high quality.
