What should I pay attention to when visiting Panjiayuan antique market?

When visiting Panjiayuan antique market, you should be careful not to directly say that the goods are fakes, and don't inquire about the origin of the seller's things.

At present, 90% of Panjiayuan's objects are antiques, making old and new handicrafts. But when tasting, even if you see it, don't say it's fake on the spot, but you can't say for sure. Because of the particularity of antique trading and antique appraisal, many times experts may also take advantage of the loopholes.

Moreover, some bronzes and imitation Ming porcelain, such as those of the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, cannot all be labeled as fakes. At the same time, if you say it's a fake, the shopkeeper may think you're here to smash the venue, which may lead to some unnecessary disputes. In fact, where the seller's things come from in antique trading has nothing to do with the buyer. That is the seller's eyesight and chance, and it is also the secret of the seller.

Buyers only judge the authenticity of things and whether the price is appropriate. As for where the other party got it, it has nothing to do with himself. Get to the bottom of it, you will only ask for it, or let the seller tell you a bunch of stories.
