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 analysing the difference between objects serving as decorative
or collectible items, while tracing collecting and display trends
of the twentieth century. Minna Toerma examines four Scandinavian
collections as case studies: Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black, Osvald
Siren 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
endeavour. This book will be of interest to scholars in art
history, museum studies, Chinese studies and design history.
