Description from the seller
Modern-style ecclesiastical chalice.
A minimalist-design jewel belonging to liturgical jewelry, a reliquary of golden light that evokes Renaissance and Baroque mastery, forged with the meticulous craft of Italian artisans devoted to the sacred tradition.
An ovoid, wide and flared cup shines in gold-plated solid brass, crafted through a lost-wax casting process that guarantees a monolithic structure with no visible joints, followed by deep hand chasing where ultra-fine punches inscribe pierced silvered friezes in intricate sacred and floral motifs; symbolic grapevines, evangelical lilies, and angelic volutes emerge in three-dimensional relief to enhance the pure whiteness of the silver against the warm gold, creating a play of shadows and glints that captivates the soul.
The sinuous stem, shaped by precise turning and internally reinforced for perfect balance, features multicolored knots adorned with fine engravings and burin reliefs, blending functional sturdiness with aesthetic grace, while the monumental base, turned and knurled at the base for ceremonial stability, radiates eternal solemnity thanks to perforated edging and antique galvanic finishes that preserve its integrity for centuries.
Stands as a museum icon, the beating heart of devotion and supreme art, ready to consecrate altars with divine elegance and to tell, through every manufacturing detail, the artisanal devotion of a timeless era.
Derived from a private collection.
