Notes
By family repute, this piece was believed to have been owned by Baron Joachim von Plettenberg, Governor of the Cape 1771-1785, and was presented by him as a wedding gift to Johann Sebastian Leibbrandt, (1747-1817). It has been in the Leibbrandt family for six generations, and was inherited by the current owner in 1968.
