Further to the thermoluminescence test, the correct dating of this lot is late 18th Century and not late 15th/early 16th Century as stated in the catalogue. The revised estimate is £2,500-4,000 and not as stated in the printed catalogue.

The Rucellai family established themselves as wool dyers in 15th Century Florence and with their accrued wealth commissioned the building of the Palazzo Rucellai, designed by Leon Battista Alberti. Giovanni di Paolo or 'Giovanni I' was second only to Cosimo de'Medici as a patron of the arts.
