Note du spécialiste

Marble Turtle With Triton – Bronze, was exhibited by the firm Caldwell at the 1903 exhibition at the Architectural League of New York. Single lamps featuring Poseidon were sold at Bonham's, Los Angeles, 13 April 2011, lot 2124 ($36,600) and Christie's, New York, 14-15 April 2011, lot 118 ($35,000).
