| Provenance and Comments: | According to the Jeu de Paume inventory of crates packed at the Jeu de Paume, MFu 5 was packed in crate MFu 4. Postwar notes on the ERR inventory match up MFu 5 with an item recovered and brought to Munich on 5 November 1946. According to the Munich Central Collecting Point (MCCP) database, Munich # 13755 is a piece of furniture that belonged to Acatiu Mayr-Fuld and which is identified with the ERR designator of MFu 5. Unfortunately, #13755 refers to a sofa while the ERR card for MFu 5 is a writing table from the Louis XVI period, a fact confirmed by the attached photograph. Hence, until further information shows up, this writing table cannot be declared as having been restituted. The item that is correctly matched with Munich No. 13755 is MFu 6 g. This object was placed in Room 55 at the Castle in Nikolsburg. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
