Shoushan Stone has been branded as a cultural symbol since it was mined and entered the field of sculpture, and the seal has always been a symbol of rights and status in the ancient history of China. The myriad meteorological and cultural backgrounds between square inches make it a rare treasure in China's traditional art treasures.
When Shoushan stone and seal are combined, the natural beauty of stone and the cultural connotation of human beings are perfectly integrated, creating the Shoushan stone seal sought after by the audience today.
Nowadays, although there are many people who play with stones and many famous button engravers, the seal of Shoushan stone with good quality, exquisite craftsmanship and excellent artistic conception is rare. Coupled with the development of art market and the increase of collection cost, it is not easy to collect a good Shoushan stone seal.
For friends who love Shoushan Stone seals but have a vague understanding of their collection value, you should know before taking this road:
First, both official seals and private seals are used by celebrities or engraved by famous artists, which is very precious. Official seal is a symbol of the hierarchy of state administrative officials, which is rare and expensive and hard to find among the people.
Second, like other antiques, under the same material and technology, the earlier the age, the higher the collection value, but at the same time, we should refer to the world's quantity to determine the value.
Third, the seal is very particular about the appearance, requiring clear words and pictures and undamaged edges. In addition, the value of handed down seals is generally higher than that of unearthed seals.
Fourthly, the fine printed buttons are naturally more valuable than the simple ones.
Five, according to the style and content of the seal can be divided into the name chapter, idiom chapter, chronicle chapter, collection chapter, zhaitang chapter, riddle chapter and so on. Generally speaking, collection stamps, museum stamps and riddle stamps are mostly owned by celebrities, with special purposes and higher value than ordinary name stamps or idiom stamps.
Maintenance skills of Shoushan stone seal
First, keep it moist and avoid high temperature.
Shoushan stone is best not to be dried at high temperature. Whether it is original stone or carved stone, the key to maintenance is to keep it moist and avoid high temperature environment and sun exposure. Newly mined ore should not be stored in Shan Ye or outdoors for a long time. It should be hidden in the cellar or other damp places in time, and cold water should be sprinkled frequently to keep it moist.
Second, cut the water mill to avoid cracking.
When cutting materials, wet grinding with water saw should be the most important thing, so as to avoid cracking during hot drying. For example, if you need to polish on a grinding wheel, you should prepare a basin of clear water. When the stone is heated by friction, it should be cooled with cold water in time.
Three, the original stone, wooden box.
After peeling, decontamination and impurity removal, the blank should be divided into varieties, pieces and grades and placed in wooden cases. If the block is big and the stone is thick, keep the wooden box in a damp place. For example, small pieces of high-grade stone are best soaked in porcelain pots filled with vegetable oil. If it is large, in order to save fuel, you can also wrap the stone blank in oil with transparent paper and put it in a damp place.
