Antique French Gothic Chalice Ref 8526

Ornate Antique French Gothic Chalice and Paten in solid silver gilt.
Chalice & Paten made in France by the silversmith Pierre Jolly who worked in the second half of the 19th century.
An engraved dedication to the underside is dated 1885, probably the date the Chalice was originally made.
Both pieces are made in solid silver, gilded throughout.
Both are hallmarked with the French silver hallmark of the period and both have the maker's mark.
Round the top of the cup is a blue and gold enamel with the words 'Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei+' in Gothic lettering.
The calix to the cup is made in fine filigree work. It is set with four amethyst stones and four oval enamels, finely painted. These depict Faith, Hope and Charity and the Sacred Heart.
The quatrefoil stem is formed from four circular columns, and is finished with fine engraving throughout.
The central knop has four quatrefoil shaped coloured enamels, depicting the Four Evangelists.
The quatrefoil shaped pointed petalled base is finished with ornate decoration. Each petal has a tear-trop shaped filigree finish, set with a coloured oval enamel.
The enamels show The Holy Family to three sides, with the Papal Tiara being the fourth. Between each is a large red stone.
The edge of the Chalice steps down with further decoration to the bottom edges.
The matching well shaped Paten is also made in solid silver gilt and fits the Chalice well. It has a very fine enamel of the Last Supper to the centre, with filigree work round the edge.
Chalice height 27cm. Base diameter 15.5cm. Diameter of top of cup 10cm. Diameter of Paten 15.5cm. Overall weight of Chalice & Paten 990g.
Complete with original lined, fitted carrying case, supplied by Le Roux of Rennes.
Please ask if you would like any further details or information about this magnificent piece.
Price £22,000.
