Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de José Manuel de Goyeneche y Barreda, né à Arequipa (Pérou) en 1776. En 1802, il devint chevalier de l'ordre de Saint-Jacques. En 1811, il fut à la tête des troupes royalistes qui emporta la victoire sur les rebelles argentins à Guaqui en Bolivie. En 1815, il fut créé comte de Guaqui et mourut à Madrid en 1806.
Jean-Charles Cahier devient maître en 1801. En 1821, il achète le fond de l'atelier de Biennais. Il cède son atelier en 1849 à Placide Poussielgue-Rusant qui se spécialise dans l'orfèvrerie sacrée.
