Frilli Art Gallery (Antonio Frilli)
The Frilli Art Gallery was established in Florence, Italy, in 1860. In the 1930s, the gallery was acquired by the Marinelli family, and since this time all Frilli production has been directed by this family. According to the gallery records, the present sculpture was no longer in production after the Marinelli family took over.
