Antique French Romanesque Passion Chalice Ref 8969

Antique French Romanesque Chalice and Paten in solid silver gilt.
Chalice & Paten made in France by the French Silversmiths Demarquet Freres (Louis et Arthur 1889-1939), who worked in Paris.
Both pieces are made in solid silver, with the main gilded parts gilded, and two-tone contrasting silver panels and scenes.
Both are hallmarked with the French silver hallmark of the period and both have the maker's mark.
The Chalice is a Passion Chalice with themes of the Passion worked throughout.
The lower part of the cup has instruments of the passion worked in six circular roundels, including The nails and crown of thorns, the scourging at the pillar, the hammer and pincers, Christ's robe and dice, the ladder and spear, the sponge and vinegar.
Between these is a contrasting decorative frieze worked in silver.
The circular stem has a central circular knop, with contrasting silver band engraved with the text 'Hoc Facite In Commemorationem Meam'.
The circular base has six very finely engraved contrasting silver roundels. Between these is a silver engraved frieze. The base is further finished with numerous diamonds.
The roundels depict Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ before Pontius Pilate, The Stripping of the Garments, The Crucifixion, The Burial of Our Lord and The Resurrection.
The matching well shaped Paten is also made in solid silver gilt and fits the Chalice well.
It has a contrasting silver centrepiece with a fine engraving of Our Lord with St John, and the text 'Qui Manducat Hunc Panem Vivet In Aeternum'.
Chalice height 20cm. Base diameter 14cm. Diameter of top of cup 11.5cm. Diameter of Paten 14.5cm. Overall weight of Chalice & Paten 914g.
Complete with original lined, fitted carrying case, supplied by A Delcour & F Duprez of Lille.
