Biais, Paris – 1936 Elegant French chalice in vermeil silver, accompanied by its matching paten and preserved in its original fitted transport box. The piece is signed by the Parisian maker F.

The cup bears an engraved inscription band around its exterior, with the interior fully gilded, in accordance with liturgical tradition. At the underside of the foot, a dedicatory inscription engraved and dated 5 July 1936. The accompanying paten, also in vermeil silver, is engraved with a radiant cross motif, harmonizing perfectly with the chalice. Condition: Very good overall condition. No structural damage or repairs. Minor wear consistent with age and careful devotional use. A complete and historically documented liturgical set, preserved with its original box — increasingly rare.
