Antique French Chalice Ref 8164

Antique French Chalice and Paten in solid silver gilt.
Chalice and Paten made in France by the French Silversmith Paul Brunet, who worked in Paris in the second half of the 19th century.
Both pieces are made in solid silver, finished with part gilt and part contrasting silver elements to the design.
Both are hallmarked with the French silver hallmark of the period and both have the maker's mark.
The calix to the cup has four scenes engraved in contrasting silver. These depict The Annunciation, The Nativity, The Baptism of Christ and The Garden of Gethsemane.
Round the top of the Calix is an enamelled band with the words 'Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei'. Striking deep blue rectangular stones are set between the panels.
The circular stem has four panels leading to the knop. The knop is set with four further blue stones, and the names of the Four Evangelists worked on silver panels in blue.
The circular base is divided into four panels, each with a silver engraved scene. These depict The Crucifixion, The Descent from the Cross, Christ laid in the Sepulchre and The Supper at Emmaus.
Four further blue stones sit on columns equally spaced round the edge of the decorative base.
The matching well shaped Paten is also made in solid silver. It is mainly gilded, with a contrasting silver image of Our Lord with St John in the centre.
