Ancient locks become the new favorite of the collection market

China's locks have a long history. Wooden locks were found in the Yangshao cultural site in the Neolithic Age. Bronze locks appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and metal locks were invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Animals and insects such as dragons, leopards, unicorns, turtles, and butterflies were patterned. In the Tang Dynasty, locks such as gold, silver, copper and iron were commonly used. The Ming and Qing Dynasties was the heyday of the ancient locks. Locks of various materials developed simultaneously. Most of them were copper locks and iron locks. The craftsmanship was even more exquisite. There was great innovation in the difficulty of unlocking and the manufacturing of the outer shape. For example, the three-color copper locks of the Ming Dynasty, the white crane locks in the Qing Dynasty, code locks, dark door locks, four-unlock locks, inverted zippers, and locks for various figures, animals, and texts are all beautiful. In ancient times, the ancient locks were used to hide the cleverness and the simplicity of Park Chung. The wealth of work in the elephants, the intrinsic artistic conception, and the fantastic design brought us into a mysterious and colorful artistic realm, which enabled us to enjoy a higher level of aesthetic enjoyment. .

The collection value of ancient locks is determined by four aspects: age, material, craftsmanship, and scarcity. First, the age. In general, the older the age, the more money is worth, but for ancient locks, for many reasons, the iron locks of the Song Dynasty and the copper locks of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were more valuable. In particular, the copper locks of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties have greatly improved both in terms of practical value and artistic level, and many fine locks have emerged.

Second, the material. Ancient locks are divided into wooden locks, gold locks, silver locks, jade locks, copper locks, iron locks, stone locks, and cloisonne locks. The more expensive the material, the higher the value of the lock. For example, gold locks, silver locks, and jade locks are worth more than copper locks, iron locks, and wooden locks.

Third, the process. Traditional Chinese locks are hand-made, and the more sophisticated and complex the craftsmanship, the higher the value of the lock. From the technical point of view, the ancient lock is divided into flat carving, open carving, hollow carving, silk flower, gold, gold, gold, gold, mosaic and mold casting. Exquisite appearance, carving realistic, complicated locks have a high artistic value.

Fourth, scarcity. "Things are rare," and ancient locks are no exception. The value of those rare password locks, text locks, dark door locks, inverted locks, and various shapes and character locks and animal locks is even higher. In addition to the common open and reverse operations in traditional Chinese ancient locks, there are also “jaw locks” that require two keys to be opened at the same time. There are institutions that require four keys to be open to each other, and some need to be locked in poems. Such rare locks are naturally favored by collectors.

Because ancient locks have cultural value, artistic value, and historical research value, their collection and investment prospects are very promising. Now is the best time to enter the ancient lock collection. Because the collection value of ancient locks has just been excavated, generally speaking, prices are relatively low, and there is a large appreciation space. And such collections are in the beginning stage, and there are few people in the collection, and they are easy to collect.

Identification of ancient locks have tricks, identify the lock is not imitation, look at the pattern, feel no sense of concavity and feel, with chemical methods "corrosion" out of the pattern may be imitation do. Then you need to check the process of the lock to see if there are any stitching marks on both ends, and you need to open the lock to see if the reed inside is welded up. For cipher locks, authenticity can be seen from the sculpted text. Calligraphy without calligraphy is most likely a copy.
