Catalogue Note

Les armes sont celles de la famille Odde de la Tour du Villard, du Languedoc, dont la filiation remonte à 1517 ; ils furent créés marquis romain en 1891. Ces mouchettes auraient pu appartenir à Jean-Antoine Odde, seigneur de la Tour du Villard qui épousa en 1707 Suzanne Rajon du Prat.
