An early Victorian sterling silver travelling communion set dating to 1849 comprises a matching chalice, paten, and a glass bottle with an original stopper, housed inside a fitted leather case. The silver items display an engraved IHS christogram and a radiant sunburst detail, while the interior of the case is lined with red velvet. The exterior box shows wear, and the silver pieces remain in very good original condition. The set measures approximately 9 cm by 9 cm in size. In a contemporary home, this piece sits neatly on a bookshelf as a decorative cabinet object or a collector display item.

FAQs

A travelling communion set is a compact, portable collection of miniature liturgical vessels used by clergy to administer Holy Communion outside of a church, often to the sick or housebound.

These sets were typically constructed from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver, accompanied by cut glass bottles and housed within velvet- or silk-lined leather cases.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmark stamps including a lion passant, makers initials, location mark, and date letter, along with traditional engravings like the IHS christogram.

These historical sets are best displayed open on a library bookshelf, inside a glass cabinet, or on a dark wood sideboard alongside other silver collectables.

Clean silver elements gently using a soft, specialised silver polishing cloth to avoid removing delicate engraving, and store the set in its fitted case away from moisture.
