这个卖家的东西我购买过好几次了,这2个镯子之前买过一个烧蓝针筒,之后还买了个包金的物华镯子,还有些戒指小挂件什么的,那些都是毫无疑问的老件,卖家一直说这些中国的老物件都是他70年代的时候购买的,今天我又发邮件询问他这2个镯子的确切购买年代,他刚给我的回复如下:
Dear sir, i think you want to know the history of the Chinese jewelry, is that correct? In 1978 i was contacted by an agency of the US government . I was asked to sell art items in America for the Chinese government. A group of investors from the USA and a group from Shanghai wanted to raise money by selling treasures from China. Huge quantities of items were shipped to the USA. I opened a showroom on Madison Avenue. We had furniture, carvings, even a full size Jade bath tub from the Imperial Palace--for one million dollars. We had barrels full of jewelry. The Chinese government officials did not want me to sell the jewelry. They said it was too " folkloric" and old fashioned. They told me to melt it all. I bought some pieces because I thought it was beautiful and interesting. The rest was melted.Now I am quite old, it is time to sell....
我想这也是个佐证吧,在那个年代,应该不会有人去仿这种东西吧~~
当然,话都是人说的,到底如何还是请朋友们一起看看吧~
