In recent years, with the warming of the art market, cultural relics with a long history have risen again in China, and the popularity is far better than that of Song, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China, and the bronze artifacts are naturally the highlights. Driven by the interests of unscrupulous profiteers, they changed the pattern of forging bricks and deceiving collectors. They used modern equipment and technology to start antique craftsmen from the fields of styling, ornamentation, inscriptions, and rust. The bronzes were made to be true and false. With the fascinating stories told by the promoters, some collectors and even powerful private museums have paid a lot of tuition.
The height of the magic is one foot, and the road is one foot high. Now let me explain how to distinguish the true and false bronzes. There are two main reasons for the falsification of the common bronzes in modern times: one is the antique handicrafts produced by enterprises for the sale of art, which are taken by commercial vendors to impersonate. This kind of device strives to simulate, the style of decoration remains unchanged; the other purpose of producing antique bronzes is to deceive the collectors and obtain huge profits. The cast bronzes are taken from the imitation of the reputation and the rare objects of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The ornamentation aspect is often changed. Although it is surprisingly outrageous, it also brings us the clues of discerning.
Bearing in mind the ancient Chinese bronze ware has a rich shape, it is an important basis for authenticity. This is because the emergence and evolution of various types of devices can more accurately represent the etiquette system, aesthetic standards, customs and technical conditions of the era. If you are familiar with and good at recognizing its shape and appearance, you have mastered a more reliable method of identification.
For the shape of ancient bronzes, we must observe from the ear, mouth, flow, neck, abdomen, ankle, foot, bottom and instrument. As long as the size and proportion of each part of the body, and the weight of the object are thick, and then refer to the various features such as ornamentation, rust, inscription, etc., analysis and comparison can distinguish between old and new.
It recognizes the ornamentation on the bronze ornament, and it has the same characteristics as the shape. And because of the continuous enrichment and improvement of the bronze casting process, the styles and expressions of different periods have different styles and characteristics in different periods. This is a strong evidence for the generation and identification of bronzes in the past.
Read and understand the rusted bronze tripod and other objects buried in the ground, affected by various substances in the underground and above-ground environment, such as inorganic salts, sulfides in the soil and sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air. Among them, cuprous chloride and basic copper chloride are harmful to bronze. These rusts are white-green and powdery, so they are called "powdered rust". In addition, there are many types of harmless rust on the copper. These rusts are produced over many years and are generally hard. They are produced in the eroded copper, which grows layer by layer, is firm and dense, and is not easily peeled off.
Pseudo bronzes or partially fake objects must be camouflaged with copper rust. And the table is also subject to various camouflage processing, but no matter how disguised, the fake must not become true. Although the method of "soil rusting" is disguised as if it is a camouflage, it will fall off when it hits a hard object, and it will be powdered. It is very good to use rusting with copper sulfate, ammonium chloride, etc., but it is not a rust that naturally forms for a long time, so there is a lack of layering, and it appears that rust is floating on the surface of the object.
In short, mastering the shape, ornamentation, inscriptions and rust of ancient bronzes is crucial to the identification work. However, it is not enough to identify the worksheets with book knowledge. It is also necessary to explore and accumulate rich experience from practice, so that we can truly verify the truth.
