<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 7871384, member: 10944"]That is a great reason to collect. The work is mind blowing on Chinese silks of good quality. My mind literally cannot comprehend the time, skill, and labor involved in something like one of these robes. I guess I would have assumed it was women’s work but never knew for a fact that it was the exclusive domain of women. At this relatively early stage in my time as a collector and peddler my interests are far too varied and far reaching to have a specialized knowledge in any one area. I suppose like in the rest of my life I’ll be a Jack of many and master of none in the world of collecting. It’s early yet though for me. That could always change. Nothing wrong with a dilettante collector from where I stand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
