Nordic PrivateCollections of ChineseObjectsMinna Törmä, University of Glasgow

Series: The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting,1700-1950

This book explores the ways in which Nordic privatecollectors displayed their collections of Chinese objects intheir homes. This leads to a reconsideration of how todefine collecting and display by analyzing the differencebetween objects serving as decorative or collectible items,while tracing collecting and display trends of the twentiethcentury. Minna Törmä examines four Scandinaviancollections as case studies: Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black,Osvald Sirén and Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen, allof whom had professional backgrounds (a jeweler, twobusinessmen and a scholar) and for whom collectingbecame a passion and an educational endeavor.
