Anders Hellström, living in Mölndal had started to collect bronzes early. He obtained a substantual number of bronzes from Orvar Karlbeck but he also frequently purchased bronzes from the great European dealers. He thus built up the most important private collection of ancient Chinese bronzes in Sweden with a great number of unique pieces. After his death his large collection (some 1300 items) was bought by the museum. The most important bronzes were published by Karlgren in "Bronzes in the Hellström Collection" (Karlgren 1948), but a large part of his collection has remained unpublished.
