Description from the seller
Imperial-style liturgical pisside – two-tone nickel fusion and 24 kt gold plating – height 20.5 cm
Elegant liturgical pisside crafted in a rigorous Imperial style, characterized by harmonious proportions, formal balance, and high-precision workmanship in the finest details. The piece’s architecture develops on a strongly vertical fluted foot, with a direct nod to Neoclassical taste, supported by a central decorative knot that introduces the hemispherical cup with perfectly mirrored surfaces.
The structure is made in two-tone nickel fusion with refined 24 kt gold plating, a technical solution that gives the pisside an elegant chromatic contrast between the argentated parts and the inner and outer gold surfaces. The two-tone scheme, balanced and never excessive, clearly distinguishes it from common monochromatic liturgical productions, enhancing its solemn and precious character.
The lid, finely worked with a radial fluted motif, is topped by a gilded apex cross, a symbolic and decorative element that completes the stylistic layout with coherence and authority. The gilded interior respects liturgical tradition, ensuring material nobility and suitability of use.
Dimensions are about 20.5 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, ideal proportions for use on an altar or for Eucharistic custody and conservation. The ensemble returns a striking presence, luminous, capable of reflecting the surrounding environment with a mirror-like effect of great visual impact.
Conservation state: very good – surfaces bright, plating well preserved, slight and physiological signs of use compatible with the object’s nature and not visually invasive. No structural deformation, lid perfectly matching.
Liturgical object of strong elegance, suitable for ecclesiastical use or for high-quality sacred collecting.
The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to professionals in the sector.
