Acquired by current owner from a dealer in Mumbai, India during the 1970s, who stated the wall lights had been in the collection of the Maharajah of Bikaner.
No record of prior loss or theft, according to the Art Loss Register (see attached report).
In addition provenance inquiries were made of the present owner, and the information above was provided. The Getty Research Institute�s German Sales Catalogs, 1930-1945 were also consulted online, and there were no such objects listed. One of the few Nazi loot databases that contains any reference to decorative arts (albeit in small numbers), is that of the Jeu De Paume Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg database. This resulted in non-reference to the objects proposed here for acquisition.
Likewise an online search was also carried out via the Central Registry of Information on Looted Cultural Property, 1933-45 in the UK, and no match results were found for the objects concerned.
