Baroque-style church chalice and ciborium with Gospel scenes. Made in Italy in two-tone brass with rich hand-sculpted detailing. Both sacred vessels present a harmonious alternation of golden and silvered finishes that accentuate numerous relief scenes on the base, knot and cup. The highly worked base shows finely modelled sacred images framed by decorative motifs that follow the form. The stem, enriched with small figures and ornaments, joins the cup through an elaborate knot that recalls the style of the entire set. The chalice cup is smooth and gilded on the interior and is supported by a band with sculpted scenes; the ciborium is finished with the same decorations and features a gilded lid decorated with relief figures and topped by a gilded cross. The meticulous attention to detail and the richness of the workmanship make these items especially suitable for solemn celebrations and liturgical contexts where a sacred vessel with a strong aesthetic presence is desired. Chalice measurements: 32 cm height, 8 cm cup diameter. Ciborium measurements: 37 cm height, 13 cm cup diameter. Cleaning advice: use only a soft, dry cloth; avoid strong chemical substances that may compromise the metal's luster.
