Clément Floch

Magnificent and opulent silver-plated alpaca Kiddush cup, used ceremonially for the sanctification of Shabbat and Jewish holidays, with a distinctive eclectic/neo-Baroque style. It stands out for its profuse ornamentation and the setting of turquoise cabochons (likely colored stone, quartz, or glass). It is a piece of great cultural importance, representative of European Jewish ceremonial art of the period.
-Material: Silver-plated alpaca (also known as German silver or maillechort in France).
-Use: Kiddush cup (Jewish ceremonial use).
-Mark: No visible mark.
-Origin: Spanish or Iberian Jewish community. The style is consistent with production in Spain or for its market, reflecting the re-establishment of Jewish community life in the early 20th century.
-Estimated period: First half of the 20th century (approx. 1900-1930). - Style: Eclectic/Neo-Baroque. Ceremonial object characterized by dense ornamentation, scrolls, and the use of vibrant colored embellishments that lend it a sumptuous effect, in keeping with the popular decorative trends of the period.
- Technique: Stamped (die-cut) with contrasting textures (matte or perforated background), typical of high-quality production from this period.
- Ornamentation: *The body features an elaborate pattern with stylized architectural and vegetal motifs (scrolls, acanthus leaves).
*Cabochons: Set with four oval cabochons of turquoise blue (probably stone/quartz or colored glass).
*Base: Solid design with a flared base and bas-relief ornamental details.
-Measurements: Height 12.8 cm / Mouth diameter 9 cm / Base diameter 6.6 cm (more detailed measurements in the photo).
-Condition: The cup is in the condition shown in the photos. It retains its silvery luster on the exterior, with crisp reliefs and cabochons. The interior displays a natural dark/reddish patina/oxidation due to its use in historical rituals and prolonged contact with wine, which certifies its authenticity. A small, barely visible dent on the bottom of the cup is shown in the last photo within the yellow circle.
    It is important to note that the photos are a fundamental part of the description, so please examine them carefully, as they show all the details of this magnificent piece.
   This piece is ready for display or use as a high-end decorative object.
