Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles des marquis de Foudras, d'extraction chevaleresque, une des plus anciennes du Forez. Cette maison s'est éteinte avec Roland, marquis de Foudras, mort à l'ennemi en 1914. Cette famille a connu de très nombreux chevaliers de Malte. Un de ses membres s'est distingué au XIXe siècle par ses écrits sur la vénerie, parmi lesquels Les gentilhommes chasseurs.
Jean-Baptiste de Gournay fut un des initiateurs du métal plaqué d'argent. Sa production s'étale de 1768 à 1795.
