From the Collection of Ingenjör Gösta Nordstrand and his wife Valborg Nordstrand, born Ahlmark. Gösta had a great interest in Asian Art, a lot of the pieces were purchased at Victoria Lindström Antikhandel, Grevturegatan 28, Stockholm in the 1960s. The black and white photograph shows the apartment of Valborg Nordstrands parents arpartment and thebig bronze censer next to the cabinet. Her father were Oscar Ahlmark (1859-1934). Thence by descent.
