Nordic Private Collections of Chinese Objects Minna Törmä, University of Glasgow Series: The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700-1950 This book explores the ways in which Nordic private collectors displayed their collections of Chinese objects in their homes. This leads to a reconsideration of how to define collecting and display by analyzing the difference between objects serving as decorative or collectible items, while tracing collecting and display trends of the twentieth century. Minna Törmä examines four Scandinavian collections as case studies: Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black, Osvald Sirén and Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen, all of whom had professional backgrounds (a jeweler, two businessmen and a scholar) and for whom collecting became a passion and an educational endeavor. 20% Discount Available - enter the code FLR40 at checkout* Hb: 978-1-138-35180-6 | £96.00 * Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount and only applies to books purchased directly via our website.
