Appraising Treasures with Tingquan: Where Did a Scrap Dealer Like You Get an Imperial Seal?!

The Tingquan Appraisal livestream. Tingquan: “I’ve been looking at junk all night. Got anything good?!” Then the next viewer, Li Qingyun, turned out to be a junk collector... Tingquan put on an ugly face. “All right, buddy, go work on yourself for a while.” He was just about to end the call and wrap up the stream when he spotted the huanghuali horseshoe-back armchair beneath Li Qingyun! Tingquan’s expression changed in a flash. “Wait, buddy... No, brother! Sir! Grandpa! Don’t hang up! Could you stand up for a moment so I can get a look at the chair under you...” Li Qingyun: “You mean this?” The camera panned over, and Tingquan’s eyes widened! “Everybody, on your feet!” “This is a late Ming huanghuali horseshoe-back armchair! The saying ‘take the top seat’ originated from this very chair! One of these once sold for the astronomical price of 1.2 billion yuan!” “This is the real deal!” “This thing is so authentic, it could open the gates of heaven!” He was just about to play Spring Snow when he suddenly spotted a silver dollar on the ground... “Holy crap!” “Brother, pick up that silver dollar on the ground and let me see it!” “Is this... Marshal Zhang’s warlord coin?!” “A Republic of China Sun Yat-sen silver dollar from 1929, one of China’s ten rarest silver dollars! Fewer than thirty are known to exist!” Stacks of black ten-yuan notes by the box; A dragon robe used as a tablecloth; Blue-and-white porcelain jars used to pickle vegetables; Golden nanmu wood turned into fire pokers! The viewers were stunned. “You call this guy a junk collector? He’s basically living in a museum!” But even all that was enough to shock them... Until Li Qingyun, unable to find a hammer while cracking walnuts, brought out the Imperial Jade Seal.
