Hello
Asian style table by Charlotte Horstmann, 20th century
Charlotte Horstmann is considered one of the most illustrious Asian art dealers of the last century, and lived an extraordinary life in Europe, Asia and America. Born in 1908 near Berlin, Germany to a Chinese father and a German mother, Horstmann moved to China in 1912 as a young child and received German education in Beijing. Because of her father's objection to women receiving higher education, Horstmann never went to university but with a good eye and instinct for Chinese art, she soon established herself among dealers, foreign dignitaries and collectors in Beijing in the late 1920s.
