"This deal was a loss." Upon hearing the expert's words, the bald shop manager regretfully patted his head.
It seemed that purchasing this bronze lamp did not make him any profit.
This is also why the prices of antiques in pawnshops are usually appraised very low, even at about thirty to forty percent of the market price.
Because with antiques, not only must authenticity be discerned, but one must also understand the price differences between antiques from various countries.
If this little bronze lamp really was from the Huaxia Shang or Zhou period,
its value would be at least upwards of ten thousand US Dollars, even without a change in shape.
This is because Huaxia civilization has continued to today, whereas Ancient Rome has long vanished into the river of history.
Civilizations with continuity, their ancient cultural products serve as testimony and continuation for later generations.
