Property of a French noble family, the collection was formed by the present owner's great-grandfather, from late 19th century to early 20th century.

專家說明

The word for elephant in Chinese is xiang, which can also mean appearance. Elephants also provide another message when combined with a precious vase. The combination of an elephant with vases thus suggests the phrase taiping youxiang, 'great peace in the world'.
