This kovsh was presented to Baron Peter Georgievich Wrangel (1874-1951), a Russian Captain and naval attaché in Italy and France. After the Revolution of 1917, Peter Wrangel emigrated to Paris.

The kovshii of this particular design produced by Fabergé were given exclusively to officers of the Equipage of the Guard (Gvardeiskii Ekipazh). For similar examples see the kovsh presented to naval medic Sergei Lentovskii, sold at Christie's, New York, 13 April 2011, lot 143, and the kovsh presented to Captain Dmitry Eyler, sold at Christie's, Geneva, 18 November 1980, lot 15. The Equipage of the Guard was created in 1810 and formed of the Imperial yacht and Court rowing boat crews. In 1892, Empress Maria Feodorovna became the Chief of the Equipage.
