Description from the seller
Double Janus Head (1831-1868), Southern Netherlands (Flanders), circa 1859.
gilded silver ciborium on a fluted round foot and baluster stem, adorned with cartouches, foliate work and grapevines, ears of wheat and volutes. Vase-shaped knop with flutes. On the cup, cartouches including a flaming heart and the symbols of faith, hope and love amidst ears of wheat and grapevines. The lid crown with a fluted dome and Greek cross. Marked on the base. Donated in 1859 to a cleric affiliated with a Carolus-hospitium (hospice).

Seller's Story
Snackers Antiques & Fine Art
Based in Maastricht since 2020. Specialized in religious art.
Vincent Snackers is the owner of Snackers Antiques & Fine Art, he was very interested in the Catholic faith and all the rituals that go with it at a young age. Palaces and museums also fascinated him. Through collecting, he eventually started the store in 2020, and he continues to collect himself, because a beautiful 18th century cupboard or a pair of Empire candlesticks never gets boring.
It is always a nice challenge to find out the background of the object. And when the object then goes to a new owner who enjoys it, the circle is complete again.
