中国安徽省一户拥有 200 年历史的富商大宅 “ 消失 ” 约40年后，飘洋过海在马六甲望万 “ 重现 ”，变身为内有逾2000件古董的 “ 张深水古屋收藏馆 ”。 这栋布满雕刻并由樟木作为梁木的古宅，原本是富豪盐商的私宅，让古宅重生的是现年 73 岁的张水木。 古宅是在嘉庆晚年时期所建，是其父亲张深水在约 40 年前的中国文革时期，在中国买下，拆除后运到马六甲。 由于几乎花完整幅家当，张深水没能力将它重建，只得建一座货仓放置这些建材，并绘出大宅建筑草图，待有机会重建。

40 年后，张水木为继承父亲遗志，决定重建这座清朝徽派式古建筑物。

2008 年左右, 张水木开始筹备，并请来中国 4 位工匠，花了数年，依据张深水所绘的草图，终于完成了整个相信不但是全国唯一的徽派式古建筑物，而且在中国也很难看到的古董屋。

张水木对古董的热爱不亚于父亲，他曾在中国逗留长达 13 年，专司收藏古董, 如今所有收藏品都收纳在收藏馆，供民众及游客参观。中国亦难再看到马六甲张深水古屋收藏馆内的一些古董, 收藏已超过 2000 年，大部分也有数百至逾千年历史，价值不菲。”

张水木计划与马六甲博物院机构研究, 将这收藏馆，在宪报颁布为文物展馆，并协助推广。张深水古屋收藏馆逾 2000 件展示品，不少是汉代文物，年代最久是超过 2400 年的春秋战国时期出土文物：几何纹瓶与滤钉纹罐。

馆内的古物叫人叹为观止，包括沉香木雕刻的达摩祖师像、中国故宫限量发行黄金宣纸 “ 清明上河图 ”、百年中国古年代 “ 松鹤延年 ” 祝寿屏风、鎏金粉彩刀画瓷瓶及仿制兵马俑等。

馆前也展示多幅以巨石雕成的石狮石鼓等，这些都是与大宅一起运过来，显示豪宅主人身分极为显赫。

张水木的孩子张蛎蛴, 小时不知爷爷为何要堆积这么多 “ 木头 ”，文物也收在屋内或店里，当时爷爷曾告诉他 “ 这些都是宝贝，再不留以后就没有了。”

他当时并不了解，现在终于明白了.
 

40 years ago, a 200-year-old mansion disappeared into thin air in China. Now it has reappeared in Bemban, Melaka and is known as the ‘TKS Antique & Heritage Gallery’, and displays more than 2000 pieces of antiques.

The mansion with carved camphor wood as beams was originally a private residence belonging to a wealthy salt merchant. It was brought back to the present day by Mr. Teo Chwee Bock, a 73-year-old retired merchant.

The old mansion was built before the end of Emperor’s Jia Qing’s rule and was bought over by Mr. Teo Kin Swee, the father of Mr. Teo Chwee Bock during the Cultural Revolution of China, 40 years ago. It was then dismantled and sent to Melaka.

Mr. Teo Kin Swee spent all his saving on dismantling and transporting all the materials to Malacca, so he could not afford to rebuilt it. What he did was to build a warehouse to store the bits and pieces. In the meantime, a plan of the mansion was sketched.

Now, Mr. Teo Chwee Bock is able to carry out his father’s wishes and had the mansion rebuilt according to the original style, i.e. the Qing dynasty Huizhuo style.

In 2008, he engaged 4 skilled craftsmen from China. They managed to complete the rebuilding of the mansion. This rare replica of the mansion is the only Huizhuo style building not only in Malaysia, but also worldwide.

Mr. Teo Chwee Bock’s passion for antiques is not less than that of his dad. During his 13 years stay in China, he collected antiques which are now being displayed in this museum for the public’s viewing. In fact it is difficult to find these precious antiques even in China some of which are more than a few thousand years old.

Working hand-in-hand with the Research Institute of the Malacca Museum, Mr. Teoh Bock Swee plans to promote the museum as the Heritage Gallery and to create awareness among the public. Out of the collection of the antiques in TKS Antiques and Heritage Gallery, quite a number of the antiques were from the Han Dynasty. The most ancient of which were the Geometric pattern vase and Routine pattern can were from the Warring State Periods – more than 2400 years ago.

The antiques are acclaimed for their perfect workmanship/ craftsmanship. This included the statue of Bodhidharma carved out of agar wood, the limited edition of the Forbidden City “Panorama along the river during the Qing Ming Festival” on gold rice paper; a century old “Pine tree and Crane folding screen”, porcelain, pottery and imitation of terracotta warriors and horses.

The entrance of the Gallery also display gardian lions and drums carved out of rocks which express the prominent identity of the owner.

In his younger days TBS’s son was puzzled why his grandfather collected so many blocks of wood and cultural relics. At that time, his grandfather replied: “These are treasures, if we do not keep them, they will be extinct.” 

At that time the boy could not understand, but now he realized the underlying significance of his grandfather’s words.
