Description from the seller
Neoclassical silver and vermeil chalice – Joannes Josephus Van Damme – Bruges, Belgium – 1832–1869
An elegant 19th-century Belgian liturgical chalice, crafted in silver with a vermeil-gilt interior to the cup, attributed to the silversmith Joannes Josephus Van Damme (1798–1869), who worked in Bruges.
The chalice features a wide, flared cup resting on a baluster-shaped stem, adorned with twisted mouldings and foliate motifs. Its circular foot is richly decorated with a raised frieze of acanthus leaves.
The piece is a fine example of 19th-century religious silversmithing.
Hallmarks on the cup and foot
Joannes Josephus Van Damme’s maker’s mark, Bruges.
Belgian Minerva guarantee mark (1832–1869).
Double Janus mark, indicating second-standard silver, or 800/1000.
In good overall condition, with signs of use and fine surface scratches consistent with its age. The silver has a lovely sheen, and the interior gilding remains intact.
The photographs form an integral part of the description and complement the presentation of the items. They allow you to assess the condition and features. Please examine them carefully before making a commitment.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
