PARIS SECOND HALF OF THE 19th CENTURY Chalice, its paten in gilded silver and its leather carrying case. It rests on a hexagonal base bordered with pearls, extended by a repoussé of flowers and leaves on a bitter background in poly-lobed frames as a reminder of the false cup. The knot alternates a decoration of crosses in rhombuses and foliage. Minerva mark and goldsmith's mark on the cup, the foot and the paten. The paten is engraved on the obverse of a cross, the symbolism of hope and charity framed by a pearl edge.
