Hans Öström (1879-1964) worked for Sigge Björck Art dealer and Auctioneer, Stockholm before starting his own dealership which supplied the Far Eastern Museum of Antiquities in Stockholm, the National Museum and the Museum of Ethnography.
Emil Hultmark was an art historian, collector, donor and patron of the arts. He combined important work as an art historian not only with the creation of one of the largest and most remarkable private art collections in Sweden, but also with the construction of an archive of Swedish artists and art craftsmen unparalleled in its extent, together with a library containing almost all that has been written about Swedish art. He loaned to the seminal International Exhibition of Chinese Art, Royal Academy, London, 1935-1936, no less than five objects, Catalogue nos.140, 1872, 1949, 2983 and 2985.
