MOVE TO "Helen D. Ling" when complete
Helen Dalling Ling (née Dalling; 28 July 1901 – 15 May 1982) was an American-born collector and dealer of Asian art and antiques. She married chemist and physician Tien Gi Ling in 1928 after which they moved to Shanghai, where she opened a "famous" antiques shop. The couple fled to Singapore in 1951 following the Communist takeover of China and she opened another antique shop. After her death, some of the items in her collection were acquired by the Freer Gallery of Art.
