Private collection (Mr. Ashok Agrawal) India and UK, acquired at Bonham�s Fine Continental Furniture & Works of Art auction, December 4th 2008 (auction number 10610), Lot 81. Sold for 3,600GBP (sterling), which equates to $5,336.28 in December 2008.
No record of prior loss or theft, according to the Art Loss Register (see attached report).
In addition provenance inquiries were made of the dealer, 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.
