All Chapellier labeled items offered descend from the Georges Chapellier Estate while all other items from the Chapellier-Rosenberger family may have other sources via Rosenberger prior to inheritance by the Long Island family from whom we acquired this work. This particular lot does not have a Chapellier label or a Chapellier exhibition citation and thus the provenance is Chapellier or Rosenberger.
