Sterling Silver Chalice - Antique Charles I

Description

This exceptional antique Charles I sterling silver chalice has a tapering cylindrical bell shaped form onto a circular knopped pedestal and domed circular foot.

The surface of this chalice is plain and encircled with bands of tooled decoration.

This antique chalice has a fine colour and patination*.

This 17th century chalice is one of the finest of its type you could hope to acquire; early pieces such as this are often crudely crafted and a poor quality, this particular piece however is in exceptional condition.

* Patination or Patina is a subtle colouration or tarnish which forms on the surface of some metals, produced by oxidation or other chemical processes. A good patina proffers an aesthetically pleasing look.

NOTE: After surviving the Great Fire of London the records at the London Assay office were destroyed by fire in 1681; their catalogues and documentation began again in 1697. Due to this unfortunate event we are unable to associate a maker to this chalice.

Condition

This impressive 17th century sterling silver chalice is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
