Provenance: |
Acquired by us in 2023 from the German private collection of Dr. Klaus Morkramer. Acquired by him in the 1960s or 1970s at the ancient art dealer Axel Weber from Cologne, Germany. Dr. Morkramer built a large collection of high-quality ancient artworks, with an academically motivated cross-section of bronzes, glasses, as well as jewellery and sculptures from the Greek and Roman period. The first part of his collection was sold in the 2000s and is now represented in well-known collections. For example, the glass vessel with inventory number 2007.233 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the 2020s the final part of the Dr. Klaus Morkramer collection is offered by us. We feel priviledged to work with the artefacts and give them into the good care of a new owner. |
