C.T. Loo (1880–1957), born Lu Qinzhai, was a prominent Chinese art dealer who played a crucial role in introducing Chinese antiquities to Western audiences during the early 20th century. Operating galleries in Paris and New York, he specialised in bronzes, ceramics, and Buddhist sculptures, becoming a key figure for collectors, museums, and scholars seeking authentic Chinese works. His efforts significantly shaped the global appreciation and scholarship of Chinese art and his legacy endures, with numerous pieces from his galleries now housed in major institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the British Museum, London.
