Catalogue Note
L’extrême qualité de ciselure de ces appliques ainsi que leur dessin les rapprochent de l’œuvre de l’orfèvre autrichien Ignaz Joseph Würth (1742-1792). Les feuilles d’eau de nos appliques se retrouvent sur les montures d’un vase et d’un candélabre montés par cet orfèvre et conservés tous deux dans les collections princières du Liechtenstein. Un candélabre en argent de cet orfèvre reprend aussi cette composition de feuilles d’eau, de perles et de flammes sommant le fût (conservé dans une collection privée parisienne).
