Li Fu couldn't help but take a small flashlight and took a serious photo. The table and stool in front of him were really a bit big. If they were actually carved from a whole piece of jade, it would be very hard to imagine how big the jade would be. Only can do this.
"You think too much, right?"
"How could this be carved from a whole piece of jade?"
"If there is such a big piece of jade, what else can you do? You have to make a table and a stool, even the emperor Lao Tzu can't be so prodigal."
Xu Desheng blew his beard and stared, and couldn't help but beat Li Fu severely.
Old Li Fu blushed again, and this time he asked a completely layman's question. Indeed, as Xu Desheng said, if there is such a large piece of jade, it would be impossible to carve a table and a stool, which would be absolutely violent. In fact, this has nothing to do with the prodigal, but such a large jade can be carved into other more valuable things.
"However, although the table and chair are not carved from a whole piece of jade, in fact they are not too much, because the table and chair are made of tenon and tenon structure, which is really very rare."
After Zhu Deyuan discovered this just now, he was very shocked.
The tenon-and-mortise structure refers to a way to connect two components. The protruding part is called a tenon (or tenon), and the recessed part is called a mortise. People with a high level of craftsmanship can achieve a tight fit and stability. However, such a This method is usually used on Huaxia's solid wood furniture, and bamboo products are also very common, but it is very rare to use on stones, especially induction jade.
As soon as Shi Tiezhu and Li Fu heard this, they immediately squatted down. Two small flashlights immediately shone under the table. After studying for a while, they found that it was really the case.
"This level of craftsmanship is too high, right?"
"How clever do you have to be able to do this?"
Shi Tiezhu patted the back of his head vigorously. He was really shocked. Jade is not the same as wood or bamboo. It is incredibly hard and has no elasticity at all. To achieve a tight fit, the craftsmanship of processing and polishing alone is admirable. Get five bodies on the ground.
"Who said no?"
"This is too long of knowledge!"
Li Fu was equally shocked. Playing antiques for so many years, especially his knowledge of ancient architecture, made him even more aware that it is definitely a very difficult thing to do, which is completely beyond imagination.
"Old man Zhu, old man Xu, what age is this thing in the end?"
Li Fu settled down. The materials and craftsmanship of the tables and stools have now been determined. The only problem is the age.
"There are embossed dragon and phoenix patterns on the tables and stools. The blue dragon is vigorous and mighty, while the jade and phoenix are light and elegant. In addition, the four legs in the table have chinchilla patterns on the legs, and there are also animal heads on them. Curly eyebrows and proboscis, there are clinging tigers...such decorations are not suitable for ordinary people. It is basically certain that such tables and stools are either the emperor or the minister, and they are the very high-ranking ministers. Qualified to use."
"The shape of the tables and stools and the decorative patterns on them are definitely Chinese."
Xu Desheng expressed his own judgment, but the light at this time is too poor to see clearly. The other is that the time for identification is really a little short, and he dare not be 100% sure, but he believes that his judgment is not There will be errors.
"I agree with Old Man Xu that this table and chair should be in the early Han Dynasty."
"This shouldn't be a big problem. After dawn tomorrow, you should study it carefully and you should be able to confirm it."
Zhu Deyan affirmed Xu Desheng's judgment.
