PROVENANCE:

Property formerly in the collection of Harry J. Haon II (1901-1989), thence by descent

Haon was employed by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, and was promoted in 1954 to the Foreign Relations Department as Manager of the European Office, London, England, until his retirement in 1962. Mr. Haon continued to live part-time in London into the late 1970s. It is believed that many of the Asian arts in his collection were acquired during this time in London.

Top with star fissure in one corner of marble, surface abraded and slightly soiled; wood joints loose, later gluing, minor chips to edges of feet; minor losses to inside edge of skirt; scattered cracks along grain with some associated fill; some alligatoring to finish
