The Collection of G. B. Sabelström (1888-1944). Sabelström worked for the Indian brewery United Breweries and lived in Shanghai in the 1920s until his death in 1944. He was an important art collector and a member of The Royal Asiatic Society in Shanghai that was closely related to the Shanghai Art Museum. As he passed without heirs, he left his collection to Erik Dahl (1896-1979), a Swedish agent for the Swedish paperindustry stationed in Shanghai and Kobe during the 1920s. Erik Dahl returned to Sweden by the Trans-Siberian Railway and the collection was sent by sea to Sweden after World War II. Thence it was passed by descent.
