Provenance

Collection Consul Otto Bernheimer (1877-1960), Munchen
Otto Bernheimer was third-generation proprietor of the famous interiors and antique house L. Bernheimer situated in the palace of the same name in Munich. The house had always also sold Asian artworks, increasingly in the 1930s through exhibitions.
Otto Bernheimer’s private collection, which included Asian works of art, was auctioned by Weinmüller in Munich in 1960. The smart set as well as the international art market were present in equal measures, resulting in a number of high prices.
