PROVENANCE
By repute, this and lot 125, inherited by Prince Alexis Dolgorouki's nieces Elizabeth Taube (later Mrs Harold Roberts) and Olga Subotina (Soubbotine)
Gifted by the above to the present owner
The proposed vase was originally presented to the London-based Prince and to his wife Princess Francis on the occasion of their house-warming by his parents who sent it from St. Petersburg. Their weekend house in Buckinghamshire, playfully named "Nashdom", was built by Edwyn Lutyans between 1905 and 1909 as a Classical Villa for lavish entertaining.
