The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. Buyers will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import into the USA. A buyer’s inability to export or import a lot is not a basis for cancelling their purchase.

拍品专文

King Frederick William I, son of King Frederick I of Prussia (1657-1713) and his wife, Sophia Charlotte (1668-1705) laid the foundation of power for the success of his son, Frederick the Great (see lot 168). Known as the 'Soldier King', he was a passionate soldier and notorious for his personal regiment of very tall soldiers, 'Lange Kerls'. He also excelled at administration and established a central hierarchy of administrative offices that gave Prussia the most advanced bureaucracy in Europe.
