The price of pre-revolutionary author bronze

[Nikolay Ivanovich]

First would like to thank Gekomed, for his informed opinion.
Now, in order.

1. But what if this same Redkin decided to try his hand at work of his predecessors, nothing good came of it at that, he calmed down?

Maybe so, but I think that if nothing good came of it then it will not be displayed in the museum. Probably all the same that it happened. And that something turned out to be what you experience, what is the previous work. Or do you think that without experience, without the prior works, you can try to paint a picture, try to mold a statue and take it directly to a solid museum? Try.

2. I'm not as expert on bronze is not clear so many references to the word "work of authorship" ... What do you mean? The fact that she signed? Since most of the works before last - the beginning of last century signed. And even many modern. Or the fact that work is the author? So after all, is the author of any work ...

I mean, that there are many copies, it is not a copy. I mean that it is original made by the author. I mean that the there are plenty of works of authorship of the second, third, fourth fill, which were made as the disappearance of the original first filling.

3. Here you have mentioned several times, "Tretyakov, 40 years of collecting, could muster only 9 figurine. You are always looking for a complex explanation? You yourself do not think it strange? Go in any more or less decent antique shop, and you will see how many bronze statuettes. And believe me, they gathered them are not 40 years ... But perhaps easier and Tretyakov they simply did not try to collect? Just a small spin-off collection?

 Visited in the Regional Museum of Art. Total 3-4 statuettes. After that came into the store "Antique" - dozens of statuettes. And the alleged original. Not a single scratch. All Patina. The price of up to 60 000 D. That doubt that in 70 years, the replenishment of the museum assembled a small number of statuettes (though honestly say that their zagashniki not looked), but for a short time from the opening of the store, dozens of them. Maybe Tretyakov simply not collected all of them?

4. Here you almost every his post linking to museums and their experts. So perhaps for you it would be open, but not all of the exhibits are masterpieces. Yes, there are even copies of a large number of missing. So what that in Gatchina is the same statuette? Your really guarantees its uniqueness? I can say on his theme, if you visit the museum exhibiting antique weapons, among other things, and certainly rarity, you will see there is quite a lot of mediocre and ordinary subjects.

My opinion. When museums put up a copy, it means that the originals have practically disappeared. You miss the point of rarity of the work. Either the thing is made in one or two copies, whether in the thousands. My statue is known in 2 copies.

In short nothing personal as they say, just thinking out loud. As for the price of your masterpiece, if you do not like the views of local guru or respected people in other specialized sites, set it up for auction. Only in my auction can determine the true value of antiques ...

But the views of local guru does not suit me. Just look

Accept money for Redkina (I hear about this author, to be honest, the first time) may be no more than 2-3t.u.e. (Subject to authenticity).
     
A copy of the manufacturer of such figurines in a single copy will cost about $ 3000. You're a sensible man. Do you really think that a copy of the original and a century may cost the same price?
 As for "Only in my auction can determine the true value of antiques ..." let me disagree with you. Mistress whispered oligarch "I want a little thing" and he is ready to buy at any price. Is that true value? Ten people want one little thing. Curl one another price. What is the true price, which she paid ten winning bidder or a person who bought the same little thing at another auction at the lowest price due to the fact that there were nine competitors? Often things get at the auctions are not professionals, and money bags. And you think the price proposed by the money-bags real?

Regarding your words "if you do not accept the views of local guru or respected people."
Here's an example uriart. And the title he is the Guru. A look at his posts in this topic.

I realized that in this case, a man DIAGNOSIS

After all, a man not a word said on the subject. On the other hand dials the number of messages in these ways. Note that he is trying to insult different words. And I pity for you that do not know me, you are in the post 25 quoting him, agree with his opinion. Not katites you in this swamp, do not be like him. Of course I would like to ssylochki a scene where I, where appointed six figures prices, and he is white and fluffy, but do not want to make mischief about squabbling.
