France currently has restrictions on the sale and commercial movement of all elephant ivory items, including pre-1947 “antique” elephant ivory items.  Christie’s is unable to arrange shipments of any elephant ivory lots to France until further guidance is issued by the French authorities.  Bidders who intend to ship an ivory lot to France bid at their own risk. A delay or inability to export elephant ivory is not grounds to cancel the purchase of a lot, and buyers remain responsible for all storage charges that accrue in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

The House of Lubomirski is a Polish princely family who have been involved in the history of Poland since the 10th century. The economic foundation of the family came from the development of salt mines in Kraków province leased from the government. The family also established private mines in Małopolska province. The financial rewards from the salt trade allowed the family to purchase many properties and to build on its economic position over many generations. The combined estates were eventually to become the third largest holding in the Republic of Poland, enabling the family to enjoy political, military and economic influence in the country. Prince Constantin Lubomirski (1786-1870) served as a colonel in the 1st Regiment of Russian Foot Guards.
