The light red wooden box had a different charm. After it was opened, twelve oil painting brushes of different sizes lay in the red cushion. At the bottom, there was a folded letter made of animal skin.
There were more than a hundred people present, and they subconsciously rushed over, making the crowd slightly crowded.
Cloba had already put on his gloves. After Law opened the box, he did not give Law a chance to explain. He first picked up one of the twelve brushes and put it in front of his eyes to observe.
The ballpoint pen was the oldest oil painting brush. The tip of the pen was blunt, and the strokes were smooth and soft. The body of the pen was made of an unknown bone. According to Sa Ling, it was Ersecco's leg bone.
In history, Ersecco was a famous painter in the early 13th century, and his reputation was matched by a one-legged cripple.
Before it was verified, this kind of leg bone pen was not tenable, and the possibility of drilling a crack was too high.
Seeing Cloba appreciating it alone, the guests were a little anxious when they gathered around, and then they watched calmly.
Luo stood to the side, silent.
The museum fell into a quiet atmosphere.
After a long time, Cloba slowly put down the brush and looked at Law. His eyes were shining, and he said: "Only three of Kersel's masterpieces have been passed down to the world, and the whereabouts of his brushes are still a mystery."
"Although the age of these brushes does match Kersel's era, it lacks credibility just based on appreciation."
Sa Ling pointed out that Kersel was a deserter, and his real name was reversed Ersecco. However, Cloba still called Kersel directly at this time, which was normal.
"There is no doubt that the body of the pen is made of Kersel's leg bone. As long as it is tested with instruments and matched with the DNA recorded in the celebrity database, everything is obvious." Law said.
Cloba's name was Cossel, while Rowe's name was Ersecco.
These two names, who was right and who was wrong, before there was a notarization, they each expressed their own opinions.
In the hall, the guests listened to the different names Law and Cloba called out, and they were quite confused, as if they were not on the same channel at all.
Cloba stroked the brush with his white-gloved hand. To a certain extent, it was not difficult to verify whether this bone was Kersel's leg bone. And the confidence that Law displayed was exactly the same as Sa Ling's, giving people a sense of conviction.
An appraiser needed the confidence to carry out their work to the end, not blind confidence. This was the basic demeanor of an appraiser.
"I want to read the letter."
Cloba retracted his hand, and his gaze landed on the letter. This was the key. He could obtain a preliminary appraisal result through the handwriting and age.
"As you wish." Law said.
Cloba nodded. He picked up the letter and read it carefully.
While Cloba was reading the letter, the appraisers among the guests stepped forward, put on white gloves, and picked up a brush to observe it.
The so-called Art Appreciation Conference would be just like this moment.
The appraisers who were invited by Cloba were all highly skilled people. They all came to the same conclusion after observing the brush. The age was the same, but the truth would still have to be tested for DNA.
The most valuable kind of antiques were related to famous historical figures. Many collectors liked this kind of thing and were willing to spend more money to buy a famous collectible.
Ironically, the jewels and gold excavated from the ruins were sometimes not as valuable as a noble weapon.
The museum became very quiet. The guests were all appreciating the antiques that Law had brought over. Suddenly, Cloba's voice broke the silence.
"Five hundred million rings, I want both of them."
He looked at Law, who was standing silently on the side, and suddenly offered a high price.
Seeing Cloba offer a sky-high price without warning, Law's lips curled up and he smiled.
The value of the bone brush and the letter had been fully demonstrated at this moment.
In the hall, the guests were all surprised. They were not short of money, and five hundred million rings was nothing to them.
However, if this price was placed on two antiques that had yet to be confirmed, and if it was personally called out by the famous Cloba, it would be a different story.
This was not a price reached through an auction, but Cloba's buyout price. What did it mean?
For a moment, everyone looked at the letter that Cloba gently folded. Their eyes moved between the letter and Law, who was smiling.
Could it be that these two items were really authentic works related to Kessel? What was written in the letter? Why did Cloba directly call out a price of five hundred million after reading it?
Just as the guests began to speculate, Law responded to Cloba's bid.
"Deal."
He did not make room for the auction and directly accepted Cloba's price. This was very unfair to the other guests according to the unspoken rules of the Art Appreciation Conference.
Cloba put away the bone brush and the letter, called a housekeeper, and asked him to put the things away properly.
"What was written in the letter?"
Someone finally could not help but ask.
This question was on the minds of many people.
Cloba was silent for a moment and replied, "I will arrange the test as soon as possible. When the results are out, I will satisfy your curiosity as soon as possible."
Hearing Cloba's words, the others could not continue to ask. They could only give up, but there was a lingering thought in their hearts.
They really wanted to know the contents of the letter, but Cloba acted too quickly and did not show any signs of inviting everyone to appreciate it together.
At the beginning, Cloba's exaggerated introduction seemed to lead everyone to the hidden truth, but now he put away the treasure, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Lorraine Museum …"
Inadvertently, Law's height kept rising in the hearts of this group of people. Many people looked at the bearded man and thought that Lorraine Museum might be quite powerful. After the Art Appreciation Conference is over, they can go and study it.
At this time, the promotion effect has been shown. The guests present are all collectors. When they have the idea of browsing Lorraine Museum's website in their minds, they will definitely take a fancy to a lot of collections.
As long as the possibility of fakes is ruled out, this group of people will definitely digest a lot of inventory. The key is that their identity can be widely publicized and attract more potential buyers.
In the crowd, Sa Ling also thought of this result and looked at Law. The two looked at each other and smiled.
With the imaginable vision, coupled with the cooperative relationship with Cloba, I am afraid that Lorraine Museum can collect a huge sum of money in a short time.
"I have to brush up my face again."
Using Cloba's preferences to create a promotional effect with the bone brush and the letter, Law was not satisfied. He wanted to make his presence known in this Art Appreciation Conference and let this group of potential buyers see the strength of Lorraine Museum.
After Cloba put away the bone brush and the letter, a guest took out the collection he brought and put it on the red cloth table.
Then, it was the turn of other guests to show their collections for everyone to appreciate.
