Description from the seller
Neoclassical silver monstrance – Joseph Convert, Lyon (1798-1809)
Silver monstrance, neoclassical.
It rests on a richly chiseled pyramidal base with Eucharistic motifs, including the Lamb of God, the Trinity, and ears of wheat associated with the vine. The knop adopts the shape of an urn, surmounted by a sheaf of wheat entwined with grapevines, supporting a radiant glory arranged around a cloud. Crescent lunette absent.
The piece bears the Poinçon au Coq, 1er titre des départements (1798-1809).
The maker’s mark corresponds to Joseph Convert, active in Lyon (vertical diamond with the initials J C, accompanied by a clover at the top and a point at the tip), used from 1798 to 1809 and then around 1813 until before 1832.
Presence of the large department guarantee mark (80 for Fontenay in Vendée). An “ET” mark is also visible on the foot, near the title mark.
Weight: 755 g. Height: 51 cm. Presented in its original case.
Note: a ray/band to be re-soldered (see photos)
A comparable monstrance, in vermeil and from the same workshop, is kept at the parish church of Saint-Maurice d’Épersy (Savoie), catalogued under reference IM73000393.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow appreciation of its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any purchase.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
