Professor Robert de Strycker and his wife Isabelle discovered Chinese art while on a trip to London in the 1930s. They began collecting Chinese art in 1938, buying in Paris and Belgium and corresponding with scholars in this field throughout Europe. They meticulously documented the acquisitions. Some of the pieces from the collection were shown in the exhibition "Oude kunst uit Leuvens privébezit" (Old art in private collections of Leuven).
