Description

Explore the history of material culture through this academic study by Routledge. This book examines how Nordic private collectors displayed Chinese objects within their homes between 1700 and 1950. It provides a detailed look at the evolution of collecting trends throughout the twentieth century. Minna Tomra analyzes the distinction between items used as decorative pieces and those kept as collectible objects. By studying four specific Scandinavian collections, the text offers a deep look into the lives of collectors like Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black, Osvald Sirenen, and Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen. These case studies include individuals with diverse professional backgrounds, such as a jeweler and businessmen, to show how different social roles influenced the acquisition of Chinese art. This work is an essential resource for those interested in museum studies, exhibition catalogs, and the history of private collections.
