I approach the materials differently than most classical Chinese furniture dealers, many of whom are primarily interested in specific woods since this often determines the furniture\u2019s value. Though I have a deep appreciation for and collect some of these hardwood pieces, I have an appreciation for folk forms that have long been passed over by other collectors. I\u2019ve had a great time collecting outside of traditional spheres. Betsy Nathan<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Brittany Good and the InCollect team,\u00a0for their\u00a0recent article<\/a> about PAGODA RED founder Betsy Nathan! Good\u00a0explores Betsy\u2019s move to Beijing to study Mandarin in the 1990s, her apprenticeships with legendary Chinese furniture dealers, and her\u00a0opening of PAGODA RED in Chicago in the late 90s.\u00a0Now an expert source for American and Chinese collectors, Betsy has come full circle.<\/p>\n

Read her story and get her take on the evolution of the antiques market:
