Persia was an important, but politically unstable, oil producer at that time. In 1924, an American consular official was beaten to death by a mob, after which the embassy and Kornfeld were withdrawn. An inscribed c. 1924 carpet (to be featured in our July Auction) and the 12 Persian silver dishes in this sale came into the family during that time. Dorothy Maier was descended from the owners of the American Sponge and Chamois Company, long prominent in supplying natural products, and early pioneers of synthetic sponges. The mermaid statue was for many years in the lobby of their Long Island City headquarters and supplied the imagery for their well-known "Mermaid" brand.
