Description from the seller
Metal ecclesiastical chalice
An important metal liturgical chalice, characterized by refined artisanal craftsmanship and a rich ornamental display.
The cup, gilded on the inside, features an elegant flared shape and a harmonious contrast with the external band, adorned with an elaborate decoration of vegetal motifs, scrolls, and relief interlaces.
The stem, particularly dramatic, is enriched by an angelic figurative composition that gives the object a pronounced sculptural character and a remarkable aesthetic presence.
The base, wide and contoured, is finely decorated with floral motifs, scrolls and arabesques, developed with great decorative richness and distributed harmoniously over the entire surface.
The workmanship of the various parts creates a refined play of surfaces, highlighting the depth of the reliefs and the complexity of the composition.
Overall, the chalice stands out for its elegant proportions, the refinement of the ornamental arrangement and the quality of the workmanship, revealing a significant example of a sacred art artifact.
The chalice presents a slight upward tilt (see photo)
It will be perfectly packed.
