" Chalice In Silver, Embossed, Chiseled With Renaissance Decor, Italy, Early 18th Century"
Chalice of the Catholic Church in solid silver (440 grams), repousse and finely chiseled with Renaissance decoration:, vermeil inside the cup. The hexagonal foot and the ovoid node showing winged cherub heads, three Saints and a Saint (The Virgin or Mary Magdalene?), surrounded by rocailles and accanthus flowers. The slightly openwork false cup with the same decoration and garlands of leaves and fruits and small lilies. Italy, probably Tuscany from the beginning of the 18th century. Very good condition.
