Anthony de Rothschild was one of the earliest collectors of Oriental works amassing his extensive collection from his travels during the 20th century, keeping meticulous records of everything he bought, and choosing only museum-quality pieces.

While most of it had been passed on through other generations and was accounted for, this delightful motley crew of porcelain animals from Anthony de Rothschild's Chinese porcelain collection was recently rediscovered at his daughter Renée's private home and is a touching insight into the bond of love that extended between a father and daughter over their lifetimes.
