拍场告示
Please note additional provenance for this lot:
The Estate of Ogden L. Mills (sold by order of the legatee); Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, 15 March 1969, lot 153 (when sold with white marble tops).
Ogden L. Mills (1884-1937) was a distinguished financier, statesman and race horse owner. He served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1932-1933 and the stable he ran with his sister bred such celebrated race horses as Secretariat and Seabiscuit. He also amassed a superb collection of French furniture and works of art, much of which was sold in an earlier sale at Parke-Bernet in 1938 from his New York townhouse on 69th Street, while his father Ogden Mills had amassed an equally important collection, including for his celebrated Parisian townhouse on the rue de Varenne.
