Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de la famille Celery d'Allens, du Languedoc (comté de Foix), probablement pour Jean-Charles Antoine de Cellery d'Allens, qui épousa en 1738 Marguerite de Montaut-Miglos.
Le musée Calvet d'Avignon possède également une paire de flambeaux au rare poinçon de Limoux, mais par un autre orfèvre.
