Description from the seller
Elegant 19th-century liturgical chalice, characterized by a slender, harmonious structure and refined decorative workmanship.
The cup, internally gilded, presents at the bottom a refined undercup in 800 silver, finely worked with ornamental motifs of volutes and stylized leaves. The stem is articulated by several molded knots, with a central oval-shaped knot, while the broad circular base features a succession of concentric frames. The body is silver-plated with a substantial thickness, tested with a reagent, but internal examination by specialized personnel confirms that it is metal.
Cup: metal
Undercup: 800 silver
Stem: metal
Particularly interesting is the base, which bears an ancient inscribed mark, an element that testifies to the object's history and use over time.
The chalice shows normal signs of age, light oxidations, superficial marks and scratches, consistent with its age and original use. Overall it retains a strong antique charm and a beautiful decorative presence.
Dimensions:
Height: 23 cm
Cup diameter: 8.7 cm
Base diameter: 11.3 cm
Total weight: about 650 g
Era: 19th century
Undercup: 800 silver
Inside of the cup: gilded
An interesting object of 19th-century sacred art, ideal for collectors of silverware and antique liturgical objects, but also of great effect when inserted into a collection or a refined setting.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the state of conservation, workmanship and the inscription present on the base.
The object will be entrusted to professional, particularly careful packaging, suited to its delicacy and value.
