Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de la comtesse Branicka née Engelhardt (1754-1838), de Pologne. La facture de 300.000 francs correspondant à cet immense service commandé à Odiot est datée du 13 mai 1819. Alexandra Engelhardt était une nièce du prince Potemkine, dernier favori de Catherine II. Elle accompagna la tsarine dans plusieurs de ses voyages. Elle épousa en 1781 le comte François-Xavier Branicki qui mourut en 1819 laissant à sa veuve une fortune considérable.
