These marble planters can be seen in a 1927 photograph of the terrace of the gardens at Villa Paloma, overlooking Monaco, as published in 'Jardins de la Côte d'Azur' by Octave Godard. The Villa Paloma had been bought in 1925 by the Englishman Robert W. Hudson, whose father had founded a fortune from the manufacturer of soap-flakes. The Villa now serves as the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco.
