Provenance
Déjà dans la collection de Robert de Balkany en 1992.
Condition
In overall very good condition. Impressive size.
Maker's mark could be that of Charles Delaire, Paris, 1882-1898. The fact that is it is also stamped with prestige marks for Paris could give another explanation: made in Hanau and remarked when imported in France.
