The wine cooler formed part of the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie R. Samuels housed in their Park Avenue triplex. Mr. Samuels was a retailer who ran I. Miller, and later his wife's family-run department store in Hartford, Connecticut which was sold to the May company for a reputed $40 million. Philanthropists and music lovers, the couple formed a foundation in their name which provides funds for the arts, primarily the Lincoln Center. In 1981, an auction catalogue was produced, but the sale was cancelled as a single buyer purchased the collection in its entirety.
