This is not a case of the simple repatriation of objects. People from China want to be surrounded by art they are familiar with from the past, that they have seen in museums, and in books or remember from their parents and grandparents homes--rather than English silver and French furniture. There is no logic to what they will pay--no price tag. If they want something, there is no stopping them. They will go through the roof to buy it.
