Provenance

Property formerly in the collection of Harry J. Haon II (1901-1989), thence by descent.

Haon was employed by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, and was promoted in 1954 to the Foreign Relations Department as Manager of the European Office, London, England, until his retirement in 1962. Mr. Haon continued to live part-time in London into the late 1970s. It is believed that many of the Asian arts in his collection were acquired during this time in London.

Fading to wood, loss to underside of one base stretcher (table rocks); some scattered water staining and wear to top; two side spandrel segments lost to inside edges of legs, scattered stains to wood, oval patch to side edge of one leg under top; scattered shrinkage cracks along grain, as is typical
