dear dennis, just because auction house databases only came online after the internet was widely available to the public (the 1990s) doesn't mean that those auction houses didn't hold auctions of chinese art before that time. Auctions of Chinese art have been going on in major western cities such as New York or London at least since the early 20th century, and the truth of this fact has nothing to do with whether or not your local doctor knows anything about Chinese antiques.
