She had it brought around to her apartments at the various imperial palaces at Gatchina Palace, Anitchov, Peterhof and Livadia. Recently it came to her Danish residence “Hvidøre” in Denmark, after which it was inherited by his daughter, Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna. Later, she gave it to the family Ussing in Ballerup, Denmark, whereafter the present owner bought it.
