Ostensoir En Argent Doré, France Vers 1883 Par Adrien Brigaud Orfevre

Sun monstrance in gilded silver, embossed and chiseled. Rectangular pyramidal base rests on 4 feet in the shape of lion paws and images of angel heads. On the faces: the Mystical Lamb lying on a radiant background and the Trinitarian Triangle in a cloud on the reverse, on the side faces: bunches of grapes. The lower part of the base is decorated all around with acanthus leaves, cabochons and scrolls on an amati background.
The barrel, screwed onto the pedestal, is composed in the upper part of a sheaf of wheat and bunches of grapes joined by a ring and a knot decorated with two cherub heads in the round and vines. The glory is made up of repelled and cut rays of light, in its center a bezel surrounded by ribs with a hinged portico on the rear face, clouds on a guilloché background decorated with cherubs' heads. Above rises a Latin cross decorated with silver-gilt flowers.
This monstrance was made by the Parisian goldsmith Adrien Brigaud whose hallmark was inscribed in 1883 as evidenced by the hallmarks worn on the work.
