A hidden surprise: Mr. Chen and his "accidental discovery"

Last Wednesday afternoon, we received a WhatsApp inquiry from Mr. Chen. He sent a few photos, and in the photos was a box of red box Louis XIII that was quite well preserved.

Mr. Chen is a middle school teacher. Recently, because his elderly father's physical condition has deteriorated, his family has decided to arrange for his father to move into a nursing home with a better environment so that he can receive round-the-clock care. While cleaning out the belongings of his father in an old tenement building in Sham Shui Po, Mr. Chen found this slightly dusty red box Cognac in an old cloth bag on the top floor of the wardrobe.

"This wine was probably a gift given to my dad by his former boss when he was young. He was always reluctant to drink it and kept it as a treasure. Now that he is older, the doctor strictly limits his drinking, and I only drink some beer. This bottle of wine is really a waste of money at home." Mr. Chen said with a smile on the phone. After a family meeting, they decided to find a new owner who truly appreciates this bottle of top-quality Cognac, and planned to use the recovered funds to buy a high-end electric massage bed for their father to make his life in a nursing home more comfortable.

Professional home appraisal: details determine value

Considering the high value of Louis XIII and the fact that it is inconvenient and risky to move around with a heavy crystal bottle, we have arranged a free on-site identification service.

When I arrived at Mr. Chen's home, I put on my gloves and carefully opened the iconic red gift box. This is a very classic bottleRed box version Louis XIII:

  1. Outer box and accessories: The appearance of the red box is well preserved, and the golden lily texture is still clear. The Baccarat exclusive crystal stopper next to it is intact without any bumps.
  2. capsule and liquor: I carefully checked the golden seal on the bottle mouth (as shown in Figure 2). Although it has been stored for many years, the surface of the gold foil has slight traces of age and subtle oxidation.The seal is extremely complete and there is no sign of leakage at all.. Observing the light, the fill level of the wine was very ideal, which proves that although Mr. Chen’s father didn’t know much about wine, he stored it in a cool and dark place, which gave the bottle of wine the best storage environment.
  3. Bottle number: Check that the unique number on the bottom of the crystal bottle is consistent with the certificate and confirm it is original and authentic.

I explained these details to Mr. Chen in detail and gave him a buyback value that far exceeded his expectations. Mr. Chen was very pleasantly surprised and decided to close the deal immediately. We immediately transferred the money via FPS (FPS) and completed this pleasant and warm transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: My Louis XIII does not have the crystal plug, or the red box is missing. Do you still buy back it?

A1: bought back. Although Louis XIII pays attention to the "complete set" (original box, crystal stopper, certificate, and bottle number are the same), and the accessories are complete and the price is the highest, but for a single bottle of naked wine, we will still give a reasonable high price estimate based on the fill level of the wine and the sealing condition.

Q2: The golden packaging on the bottle mouth is a little wrinkled or darkened. Will it affect the price?

A2: After many years of storage of old wine, it is normal for the gold film to naturally oxidize or wrinkle slightly (as in the case of Mr. Chen this time). As long asNo damage, no leakage, no disassembly, the impact on the subject's value is minimal. Our appraisers will make professional judgments.
