Provenance
Private property, Austria;
The father of the current owner acquired the box from an art trade in the early 50s.
Our research has revealed just as many circumstances that speak in favour of Fabergé's authorship as those that speak against it. We can therefore neither guarantee Fabergé's authorship nor the correctness of the attribution to this artist.
