Catalogue Note
Ce flambeau d'une rare qualité pourrait avoir été fait pour l'église de Sao Roque à Lisbonne. Il est également insculpé une seconde fois de la date 1742 et d'une inscription peu lisible, probablement des poinçons.
Les rapports entre l'Italie et le Portugal sont très nombreux au XVIIIe siècle et il est fréquent pour les orfèvres italiens, et plus particulièrement les plus célèbres orfèvres romains tels Valadier, de recevoir des commandes émanant d'importantes familles ou congrégations portugaises.
