Baroness Eugène de Rothschild, sold Christie's, London, 6th December 1979, lot 51.

In overall good condition. Very miniscule tarnishing and surface dirt to the gilt-bronze and very minor chips to the marble base. There are a couple of medium sized chips to the corner of one marble base. The cherubs have some wax residue but this does not detract from the piece.
