| Provenance | The double-headed eagle holding a sword and sceptre in its claws was used in the 17th century by Holy Roman Emperors, suggesting that this piece was made for either Charles V or Joseph I. The quality of the workmanship of this chest is outstanding throughout. The fact that it is marked 'III' suggests that it was one of a set which almost certainly stood in one of the palaces storing valuable documents and artefacts. Further research is currently being undertaken. |
