Provenance: Ruzzo Heinrich Prinz Reuss Graf von Plauen. Prince Ruzzo was the son of Prince Heinrich Enzio Reuss of Plauen (1922–2000) and a Swedish mother, Baroness Louise Peyron (1918–1989). His father was a member of the German princely House of Reuss. His mother's family, Peyron, immigrated to Sweden from France in 1740, was ennobled in Sweden in 1825, conferred baronial status in 1841 and introduced at the Swedish House of Nobility the following year. After his mother he inherited her estate in Glumslöv outside Landskrona, wherefrom this set of furniture comes.

He was educated in Sweden, where he was a schoolfriend of King Carl Gustaf of Sweden, having attended the same boarding school. Prince Ruzzo and the then-Crown Prince of Sweden enjoyed hunting together.

The crowned monogram of Juliane Marie (1729–1796) was only used for a period of two years. As Christiansborg burned down in 1794, the royal family had to move and the Dowager Queen Juliane Marie moved to Moltke's Palace in Bredgade which she bought from Frédéric de Coninck. The stay was short, unfortunately she died in 1796 during a summer stay at Fredensborg castle. Later on her furniture and furnishings was sold at auction directly from the palace.
