Gilt Silver Chalice, France Circa 1850, By Trioullier, Goldsmith

This gilt silver chalice was crafted by the renowned Parisian silversmith of the 19th century, Trioulier Charles Eugène.
Its domed foot is engraved with a cross and decorated with a frieze of water leaves. This motif, enriched with pearl collars, is repeated on the stem in alternation with toric rings.
The knop, shaped like a Medici vase, harmonizes perfectly with the stem, creating a remarkably balanced ensemble. Trioulier here signs a piece of silverwork of great sobriety and refined elegance.

Comital coat of arms on the foot’s molding.
