This Paul is worthy of being an expert in the antiques of the British royal family. He even spoke out allusions about the historical figures of the British royal family. It can be seen that he has considerable experience in the study of the British royal family.
"Of course, this kind of rough and heroic personality is a nice saying. If it were another saying, it was a rebellious and very willful. You should know that the British royal family had very complex etiquettes, but this British king disliked obeying those etiquette rules the most. History gave him a good man with mediocre ability and kind heart, but in fact, when he was young, he was famously rebellious, very rebellious, and difficult to tame. It was precisely because of his personality that if it weren't for his two brothers who had no descendants, he wouldn't have the chance to inherit the throne!"
Paul touched his white beard and began to popularize this unofficial history about the British royal family to several people.
"At that time, when every member of the British royal family came into adulthood, they would give them a set of furniture as a souvenir. Each set of furniture was specially made by craftsmen of the exclusive royal family, and the materials used were also mahogany made by the royal family. This tradition has continued to this day, so everyone can see on the market that almost all the furniture used by the British royal family were made of mahogany. However, William IV was very willful at that time. At that time, he followed the British Royal Navy and fought everywhere, in the North American continent, and
The Caribbean is his favorite place. He likes maple syrup, maple trees, and female slaves from the Caribbean. These are no secrets. He also participated in the North American War of Independence that year. Of course, he did not stand on the side of the United States, but served as the Royal Navy Cape St. Vincent. In order to attack the British army, George Washington, the founding father of the United States, secretly formulated a plan to kidnap Prince William IV. However, due to some relations, the plan was not implemented."
Paul then told some secrets about King William IV of England, which was to popularize the king's history and growth experience.
"Because of his experience in fighting in North America, William IV fell in love with the maple syrup and maple wood produced in Canada, so when he returned home, he brought a lot of maple wood materials. When the British royal family was preparing to make furniture for him, he designated to use maple wood as raw material, rather than traditional mahogany. Later, almost all of his furniture was made of North American hard maple wood as raw material. Later, after he retired from the Navy, he did not marry the daughter of a certain European nobleman as the orders of the royal family, but to the Irish actress, Rosia
Jordan fell in love and lived together. Because of the actress's background, the marriage was not recognized by the British royal family, and the two never got married. They lived together for twenty years and gave birth to ten children, including five men and five women. Because of the lack of marriage, all of these children became illegitimate children. Later, because William IV's two brothers had no children, he became the natural heir to the throne. But if you wanted to inherit the throne at that time, you not only had children, but your children must also be baptized by the priest."
Paul's explanation made Jin Muchen and others more knowledgeable.
Peter and John are also experts in this field, but they don’t know much about the secrets of the British royal family back then. After Paul said this, they also gained a lot of knowledge.
"At that time, the illegitimate son could not be publicly baptized by the priest in the church, and the parents would not have the right to inherit the throne without baptism. So for the sake of the inheritance of the throne, the prince used gold coins and a desk he loved to bribe a bishop, Fitz Gralens, and asked him to baptize his children in a private church. This ensured that the legal rationality of his inheritance of the throne in the future! And his unbaptized children still survived as illegitimate sons, and now they have grown up and formed many new families in Britain. The British Prime Minister we know now, David Cameron, is one of the descendants of his illegitimate sons..."
I took it aside, but I didn't expect that William IV was so fierce. More than 200 years ago, he became the king of Britain. More than 200 years later, his grandchildren were the queen of Britain and the other was the prime minister of Britain.
This king is truly a winner in life! Jin Muchen thought with a smile in his heart.
"So, is the table in front of us the one that William IV bribed the priest back then?"
Jin Muchen asked, now that he had probably figured out the origin of this table, he was also very calm.
The doubts that had been hidden in my heart were finally revealed. It seemed that I had made a profit again. If it were really the royal desk of King William IV of England back then, then the value would definitely double.
"It should be right. After William IV and Rosia were together for twenty years, in order to inherit the throne, they had to choose to separate from Rosia and marry the woman who thought the nobles. After they got married, they lived in Germany for a while. During that period, they lived in poverty because the prince was not a good person in finance. After leaving Rosia, he also compensated Rosia a lot of money, so he had to go to Germany where living expenses were low and lived for a while. It was also in Germany that he wanted to bribe the Fiz master.
He could not afford to pay bribes for his children, and he could only borrow money and add a desk he loved the most, so he invited the bishop. However, for this, his children were unable to inherit the throne in the end. Afterwards, he ascended the throne, Victoria, the daughter of his fourth brother, who was the Queen of England who founded the Victorian era! As the king of England, because of his poor ability, he was not highly recognized by later generations, and he could only be regarded as a relatively mediocre king."
Paul finally spread the secrets of the British royal family back then to everyone and also explained the origin of this table.
Jin Muchen suddenly felt like he was guarding the clouds and seeing the moon brightly. When he picked out the table from Capote's pile of stolen goods, Capote joked about him, why didn't he choose so many good things?
I chose such a broken table that looks useless, but I didn’t know that I was the one who knew the wise and just picked out the table from what kind of common things.
With the history of King William IV of England, the cultural relics and archaeological values of this table are immediately different from those before.
Without this history, this table would at best be an old antique table. If you take it on, you will have to shoot it and it will only cost tens of thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
But now, this situation is different. If you take such a table to shoot, you may be able to shoot millions or even millions of them.
You should know that among the rich people in this world, there are many rich people who like to pursue royal demeanor or like to praise the British royal feet. They are quite willing to spend money on such a table used by the British king!
"I don't know which owner installed the rubber cover on the table. At that time, I must have been afraid of hurting the gold foil on the table and the badge of William IV on the ground. So he came up with this trick to protect the table. But he probably didn't expect that just this pack would cover up the main mark of the table's inheritance. So later, his owners might not have realized that this table was actually used by William IV, and they only treated him as an ordinary antique desk. Fortunately, the table was well maintained and not damaged too much."
Paul reached out and gently stroked the desk, as if he was stroking his lover.
Jin Muchen laughed secretly in his heart. Paul guessed that this was true. It was because the owner didn't know about the protective rubber pads on the base of the table that covered the historical mark of the table.
Otherwise, how could such a treasure fall into your own hands?
It seems Capote also told himself that this table was stolen from the warehouse of a wealthy man named Cohen, and according to him, the table was thrown there as second-hand garbage. If it weren't for the treasures he stole, he wouldn't have stolen such a large, worthless broken desk.
It seems that I should really thank you, the owner who put protective rubber pads on this desk!
"Mr. Jin, you see that this desk has been approved. We have talked about it before. I know you want to give this desk a shot. You see, if you want to give this desk, can this desk be handed over to Christie's for auction? Don't worry, I will definitely get you the biggest discount on the commission ratio this time. And you just heard from Mr. Paul that this desk is quite large. It is a royal property in the UK and has a tradition. You are also in the circle.
Experts must also understand the market conditions of such antiques. We at Christie’s have just prepared two auctions in London this year, one is the spring auction that will begin, and the other is the autumn auction at the end of the year! Like yours, with its identity and status, it can definitely be the finale of that auction. As long as you hand over this desk to us, don’t worry, we will concentrate resources to promote your desk to the greatest extent, and ensure that you can finally get a price that satisfies you!”
