Description

A beautiful and interesting solid sterling silver chalice cup. It is hallmarked with Hanau (German) marks and tests as high grade silver. I suspect the cup dates to c1890-1910 slightly earlier than the inscription which interestingly relates to Sir Hugh Denis Crofton who was entitled to be the 8th Baron of Mohill Castle Co Leitrim Ireland - there are photos in the national gallery of him as a baby (simply Google his name) which is when he would have received this. It is in super condition being free from dings splits holes distortions and repairs. It measures approx 4.5 inches (11.7cms) tall by 2.5 inches across the rim and weighs 102 grams. A very interesting piece.

Declaration

FAQs

A chalice is a footed goblet intended to hold wine or sacramental liquids, historically used in religious ceremonies or formal banquets.

Authentic period chalices are typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as hammering, casting, chasing, and hand-engraving.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamps indicating the assay office, metal purity, and date letter, alongside natural patina and wear consistent with age.

An antique silver chalice can be displayed on a bookshelf or mantelpiece as a sculptural object, contrasting effectively with contemporary minimalist decor.

Preserve antique silver by dusting with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and using specialised silver polish sparingly only when necessary to maintain the natural oxidisation in recesses.
