George Chien-Tze ("C.T.") Wan was born in Jiangxi province, of China. He became interested in Chinese porcelains when, in Shanghai, Mr. Wan worked as a representative for importers of Chinese porcelains to the United States. Through this work, he obtained sponsorship to immigrate to the United States in 1949. Within a year, C.T. Wan & Co., dealer in Chinese art and antiques, was inaugurated in New York City at 116 East 28th St. Thus began a dedication and passion for Asian art and collecting that was to fulfill Mr. Wan's excellent life until his passing in 2019. The store moved twice, first a few blocks away to 235 Fifth Avenue in the 1960's and then across the avenue in the 1980's to 242 Fifth Avenue. In the 2000’s, surrounded by his collection, Mr. Wan would smile and reflect on what great satisfaction and pride his life's work had brought to him.

萬寶古董行庫藏。該行由江西籍古董商萬氏創立，萬氏上世紀中葉在滬從事瓷器出口貿易，1949年移民紐約，于28街東116號經營瓷器，店名C.T. Wan & Co，后遷五大道235號，再遷242號。店址雖多次變動，都位於五大道與28街交匯處，這是當年紐約亞洲藝術交易的中心，如山中商會就在254號，與萬寶古董行一街之隔。千禧年后，萬氏年高，淡出經營，2019年下世，本次上拍子女繼承的部分庫存。
