C. T. Loo
Ching Tsai Loo, commonly known as C. T. Loo (; 1February 1880August15, 1957), was an art dealer of Chinese origin who maintained galleries in Paris and New York and supplied important pieces for collectors and American museums. He has been called "the preeminent dealer of Chinese art and artifacts for the first half of the twentieth century," 〔(Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery )〕 but also criticized for his active role in removing antiques and archaeological treasures from China for sale to western collectors.
==Early life==
He was born Lu Huanwen in Lujiadu 卢家渡 (Lu Family Ford) a village in the Huzhou district of Zhejiang Province, some west of Shanghai. His family had lived in this single-surname village since the 10th century. Orphaned at age ten, he raised by his uncle, but he decided as a teenager to try his luck in Nanxun, a center of the silk trade. He did well working under Zhang Baoshan, a successful merchant, whose son, Zhang Renjie, was appointed to the Chinese Embassy in France. Loo accompanied Zhang to Paris in 1902 at the age of 22. Few Chinese were living in France at that time, but Zhang Renjie invited Loo to work as doorman at his teahouse and then in his family Chinese goods import business, the gallery Ton-ying, in the Place de la Madeleine. Zhang used his connections in China to obtain antiques and works of art for the company. On his return to China, Zhang became an early financial backer of Chiang Kai-shek.〔 pp. 146, 190, 451–452.〕
