Catalogue Note
Le poinçon d'orfèvre ACS est celui insculpé après l'association de Thomas-Joseph Armand, sa femme Jeanne Calliat et sa belle-soeur Louise-Nicole Calliat, en vigueur de 1854 à 1907. La maison Armand-Calliat est une des deux plus prolixes maisons d'orfèvrerie religieuse françaises au XIXe siècle avec le parisien Poussielgue-Rusant.. Son développement fut considérable et ses oeuvres, souvent émaillées, ont essaimé dans le monde entier.
