Both this pair of tazze and the following pair of Campana urns are photographed in the Drawing Room at Croft House circa 1926. Both pairs also appear in a study of the Drawing Room, Croft House by Francis Cadell (1883-1937) painted in 1934. See The Harrison Collection, these rooms, 12 June 2018, lot 112.

Condition
Elegant despite wear and losses to some elements. With old losses to some areas and corners. Some old repairs. Would benefit from a deep clean. Metal mounts tarnished. Losses to some veneers. Some localised filler. In Country House condition. A lovely pair that would benefit from some considered gentle repair.
