After Zhang Junping thanked him, he followed the clerk's instructions and went to the antique furniture cabinet.
"Director Zhang? Really Director Zhang!
Welcome Director Zhang to visit and guide! "As soon as Zhang Junping arrived at the antique furniture cabinet, a middle-aged male clerk warmly held Zhang Junping's hand.
Zhang Junping was a little confused, so he could only say apologetically, "Hello, comrade, do we know me? Sorry, I've been busy recently, so I forgot where we met..."
"Director Zhang is a big celebrity in Liulichang. Of course, you are an artist, so it's normal if you don't know me. I also met Director Zhang at the Jiguge Young Artists Exhibition!" The middle-aged shop assistant was very enthusiastic and pulled Zhang Junping Talked a lot.
However, Zhang Junping also understood that he had no communication with the other party, but the other party was an amateur calligraphy and painting lover, so he was so enthusiastic about Zhang Junping.
"You are too proud! They all serve the people, but our division of labor is different." Zhang Junping said modestly.
"Director Zhang is so humble! You not only have high artistic attainments in calligraphy and painting, but also have a good command of business management.
I know that your furniture factory is extremely profitable..." The middle-aged clerk was an acquaintance, holding Zhang Junping's hand, and chatting with Zhang Junping very warmly and acquaintedly.
After chatting for a long time, I remembered to ask Zhang Junping why he came here, "Director Zhang, are you here today to buy antiques?"
"Yes! I came here to buy antiques, right?
I heard from my elder sister that you have a pair of Hainan Huanghuali armchairs here, so come and have a look. "
"Hainan huanghuali armchairs? Yes, yes! There is such a pair!
However, he was taken away by Mr. Wang. "
Zhang Junping thought for a while. There are not many people who study ancient furniture in the capital, and those whose surname is Wang can still be called Wang Lao. "Wang Lao? You mean Wang Shixiang Wang Lao?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Wang!" The middle-aged clerk nodded vigorously, and then asked curiously, "Director Zhang knows Mr. Wang?"
"I know, I met Mr. Wang once before, and we had dinner together once." Zhang Junping didn't show off his relationship with Wang Shixiang, but just explained lightly.
It's just that I regret not being able to win the Hainan Huanghuali armchair.
The armchair is the king of chairs, and it is the most conformable chair among all ancient chairs to the structural mechanics of the human body.
The back of the recurve bow can reduce the stress on the waist. Everyone knows that people who sit for a long time are prone to lumbar muscle strain. Using an armchair can greatly reduce the degree of lumbar muscle strain.
Also, the armrest of the armchair is bent downward, and the side and back of the whole chair are a curved surface connected together, so that the human arm, no matter the big arm or the small arm, has a place to put it, and the muscles of the big arm and the small arm You can get a certain amount of rest, which can greatly reduce the incidence of frozen shoulder.
Therefore, the armchair has the title of king of chairs.
Zhang Junping collected a lot of old furniture from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, including dozens of armchairs.
However, those are broken and need to be repaired before they can be used.
Then again, who would dislike too many Hainan huanghuali armchairs?
"Director Zhang, you are worthy of being a young artist, a well-known person, you can eat with Wang Lao." The middle-aged shop assistant thought it was a great thing to be able to eat with Wang Lao, and admired him very much.
"Hehe!" Zhang Junping could only chuckle twice, "Are there any other items in our antique furniture? Can I have a look?"
"Yes, we have a lot of antique furniture here, all of them are here, Director Zhang, you can choose whatever you want.
For the one you like, I'll make an order for you. "The middle-aged clerk led Zhang Junping to a warehouse and said enthusiastically.
It's a pity that I'm talking about helping to open the order, not that you take the one you like, and you don't even give a discount.
Of course, Zhang Junping also knew that this clerk was at most a small leader of the cultural relics store, and had no right to give away or give discounts.
There are quite a lot of antique furniture in the furniture warehouse, but there are no treasures.
If you think about it, you know that the Palace Museum, several other institutes of ancient cultural relics, and many experts.
Once treasures appear in the cultural relics store, they will be taken away by these units and experts immediately.
Although the leftovers are all antique furniture, which can be valuable in later generations, but in this era, they can only be regarded as ordinary boutiques.
The best is rosewood, and more are hardwood furniture such as wenge, cherry, walnut, and elm.
I went around several warehouses storing antique furniture, but I didn't find any furniture that caught Zhang Junping's eyes.
Zhang Junping was a little disappointed.
As for those hardwood furniture, although they were good, they couldn't arouse Zhang Junping's desire to buy them.
He has a lot of such furniture. He has more furniture in his warehouse than in the cultural relics store.
"Huh? This cabinet is not bad!" Just as Zhang Junping was a little disappointed and was about to leave, a cabinet caught Zhang Junping's eyes.
This is a golden nanmu top box cabinet from the Ming Dynasty.
The top box cabinet is a kind of combined bedroom furniture, there are exactly four pieces, so it is also called a four-piece cabinet.
Because the small cabinet above is connected to the vertical cabinet below and stands vertically to the bottom, it is also called top vertical cabinet.
The top box cabinet has a dignified shape and a large capacity. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was furniture used by the upper class and dignitaries.
The top box cabinet is one of the masterpieces of Ming Dynasty furniture. It appeared in the late Ming Dynasty and prevailed in the Qing Dynasty.
The large wardrobes we use now, combined wardrobes, evolved from top cabinets.
The top chest that Zhang Junping saw was entirely made of golden silk nanmu. Its style is typical of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a plain top chest.
Furniture made of golden nanmu was rare in ancient times, especially furniture of such a large size.
Golden nanmu is not a tree species, but a variant of nanmu that appeared after the growth environment and other factors mutated.
In ancient times, golden nanmu was mainly used to build houses, and was used for main parts such as beams, columns, eaves and mansions of houses.
It is worth mentioning that many people will misunderstand that golden nanmu and mahogany are juxtaposed as hardwood wood. In fact, golden nanmu is a softwood.
"How much is this top box?" Zhang Junping asked the middle-aged clerk who was following him.
"This one! Director Zhang, you are so lucky, this top box was only received this morning.
1000 yuan! "
Just as Zhang Junping was about to speak, an old and domineering voice came from behind him, "Xiao Li, I want 1000 yuan for this chest!"
Zhang Junping frowned and turned to look behind him.
Seeing the person coming, Zhang Junping suppressed his anger and said: "Old Chen, you are a bit careless, this top chest is the one that I saw first, and it is also the price that I asked first.
You are prying! "
