According to the owner, the present lot, amongst other Chinese works
of art, was sold to Raffaello Landini in the 1950s as part of Villa Vitiano
and its furnishings, which previously belonged to Mr Moriani, who, in
turn, had acquired the Chinese art collection from Count Gregorio Calvi
di Bergolo in 1947 as part of a Rome apartment and its furnishings.

The present lot is thought to be no. 23 in the inventory list of objects
acquired by Mr. Moriani from Count Calvi di Bergolo.
