Description from the seller

Travel Eucharistic receptacle (custode) on a stand — silver and gilded brass — France, 20th century

A rare Eucharistic receptacle intended for the transport and preservation of a consecrated host during pastoral visits.
The object consists of a circular silver custode that opens into two halves, adorned with a stylized cross engraved in a geometric design inspired by modernist liturgical aesthetics. The lid is surmounted by a trilobed cross that serves both as a handle and as an Eucharistic symbol.

The interior is gilded in gold in accordance with liturgical prescriptions.
The monstrance rests on a base of gilded brass, enabling a stable display during the celebration or administration of Communion at home.

The engraved decoration, sober and structured, is part of the aesthetic renewal of French religious goldsmithing in the mid-20th century.

Presence of five silver hallmarks and a master mark indicating French manufacture.

Very good overall condition with normal signs of wear.

Photos are an integral part of the description of the items and complement their presentation.
They allow for appreciating its condition and features.
Please review them thoroughly prior to any commitment.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.

Happy bidding!
