The Antiquarian
She lived in the United States for a long time where she ran a dry cleaning business. Annly then came back to Shanghai, determined to return to her first passion, an artistic activity. Circumstances and her clear determination led to the rest: in a few years, she has become one of the best-known authorities on Chinese antiques. Every period, every style…on the outskirts of town, her immense showroom is known today in the four corners of the world. And she, herself, still continues to search the whole country for new treasures. They are increasingly difficult to find , she says. It's therefore imperative to visit her shop.
