Antique French Sterling Silver Vermeil Lidded Ciborium with Cross – Religious Liturgical Vessel
Beautiful antique French religious liturgical vessel, a charming small lidded ciborium crafted in sterling silver with a richly gilded vermeil interior.
The piece is decorated with a cross, adding to its important religious and ceremonial character. It bears the French Minerva hallmark, confirming its sterling silver composition, as well as the maker's mark of Chevron Frères, Paris, active from 1885 to 1894.
With its elegant proportions, silver construction, and gilded interior, this antique ciborium is an exceptional example of late 19th-century French ecclesiastical silverwork. Its refined craftsmanship and historical character make it an appealing piece for collectors of religious antiques, French silver, and Catholic liturgical objects.
