Catalogue Note
Le motif de la grenade éclatée flanquée de feuilles d'acanthe sur le haut du dossier et sur la ceinture rappellent fortement la production en siège de la famille Cresson. Une méridienne estampillé Cresson l'Ainé présentant un décor de grenades proche fut vendue chez Christie's Paris, le 24 juin 2003, lot 348.
