Ma Weidou, in the antique business, can't be said to be the number one big shot, or at least a prominent figure. After all, when antiques were booming, many people missed the first bucket of gold in their lives without knowing what was going on. The era when Ma Weidou scooped up cultural relics was precisely the era when cultural relics filled the streets with cabbage prices. A golden opportunity, so care for Ma Weidou. Ma Weidou is famous for his fame and fortune, especially the theory of cultural relics appraisal, which has been tested in practice. Therefore, Ma Weidou's statement that "I don't wear gloves when appraising cultural relics, and most of them wear gloves are pseudo-experts, fooling laymen" is still very convincing.
gloves are worn when identifying cultural relics, which is basically the routine of cultural relics identification TV series. Ma Boyong's "Antique close encounter of mahjong", which is famous for its elegant writing, made a wish to identify precious porcelain with white gloves. In fact, according to Ma Weidou's years of experience, wearing white gloves is divided into occasions. In other words, most of the people who wear gloves to identify cultural relics are pseudo-experts, and their motives are mostly to fool laymen. Ma Weidou said, I don't wear white gloves when I identify cultural relics. Ma Weidou said so, also is not fooling people. You can watch the video of Ma Weidou's identification of cultural relics, and you rarely wear white gloves.
the number of wearing white gloves may be a very simple thing for many people, but in terms of collection, identification is no small matter. After all, for ordinary people, a cultural relic may be a guarantee for one's life, and a mistake in identification will make people lose everything. Therefore, the identification of cultural relics must be cautious. Ma Weidou said that in the process of identifying cultural relics, especially porcelain with smooth surface, it is strictly forbidden to wear white gloves. The knowledge here is great, and the porcelain itself is very smooth. Wearing white gloves will reduce the friction between the surface of the porcelain and the gloves, and it will crash to the ground if you are not careful.
Therefore, in the antique trade, basically all appraisal categories have no rigid requirement to wear white gloves. Based on this judgment, Ma Weidou pointed out keenly that those who wear white gloves for cultural relics appraisal are basically pseudo-experts, and the main purpose is to fool laymen. Ma Weidou also pointed out that in the identification of cultural relics in antique shops, it is usually required to wear white gloves to identify calligraphy and painting and high ancient jade wares. This is mainly because the surface of calligraphy and painting has become very fragile after a hundred or even a thousand years. If you don't wear white gloves, the sweat stains on people's hands will cause irreversible damage to precious calligraphy and painting.
after painting and calligraphy, we will talk about high ancient jade utensils, and everyone is probably worried again. When appraising high ancient jade wares, it is required to keep the basic form of the cultural relics themselves. In order to achieve this goal, gloves must be required. After all, the price of a genuine piece of high ancient jade is hundreds of thousands, which is precious! Ma Weidou emphasized that white gloves are required for two categories, but not for other appraisal categories. If non-calligraphy and painting and high ancient jade ware are identified with white gloves, it is very likely to be posturing, which is what we call a pseudo-expert.
Ma Weidou said what others dare not say, and spoke frankly about the hidden rules of wearing white gloves in antique shops. It's hard to tell whether an antique shop is true or false. It's not so much for identification as for identification of people's hearts. Ma Weidou, relative to people in his profession, still belongs to the kind of expert with conscience. As Ma Weidou said, "I don't wear gloves when appraising cultural relics, but most of them wear gloves as pseudo-experts, fooling laymen", so I can afford to be called Mr. Ma. What do you think of what Ma Weidou said about wearing white gloves?
