A similar pair of black and white marble ornaments in obelisk form were in the collection of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis purchased from Vladimir Barjanasky. She loaned them to the White House during her husband's presidency where they sat on the mantel in the Red Room and were consequently sold with her Estate at Sotheby's New York, 23-26 April, 1996, lot 323.
