About the Item

An important and visually striking gilded copper chalice, finely engraved with the armorial bearings of the noble House of Schwarzenberg, one of the most prominent aristocratic families of Central Europe. Executed with strong architectural form and rich symbolic detail, this piece reflects both ceremonial function and dynastic prestige. The chalice features a gracefully waisted cup engraved with the quartered Schwarzenberg coat of arms, surmounted by a coronet. The heraldry includes recognizable elements associated with the family’s historic territories and titles, rendered with confident line engraving indicative of bespoke or limited ceremonial manufacture. The stem rises from a broad, domed foot embellished with raised lobed bosses, a traditional ecclesiastical motif symbolizing abundance and sanctity. The gilding remains warm and intact throughout, with expected patina consistent with age and respectful use. The chalice retains its original fitted leather presentation case, lined in deep purple velvet, a color historically associated with imperial and ecclesiastical authority. The case’s sculpted interior precisely conforms to the chalice and was made specifically for this piece. A small stamped mark is present to the underside of the foot (visible in photographs), consistent with continental workshop or metal marks used on gilded copper ecclesiastical objects of the 19th century. Details Material: Gilded copper Decoration: Engraved armorial bearings of the House of Schwarzenberg Origin: Bohemia / Austria-Hungary Date: 19th century Case: Original fitted leather case with purple velvet interior Condition: Very good antique condition; light surface wear and patina consistent with age; no structural issues observed Measures: 11”H (12.5”H in case) x 4.25”W (5.25”W in case) Historical Context The House of Schwarzenberg was among the most powerful noble families of the Habsburg Empire, holding princely rank and extensive lands in Bohemia and Austria. Objects bearing their arms were typically commissioned for private chapels, ceremonial religious use, or as presentation pieces, rather than for parish use—making surviving examples comparatively scarce. Collector Appeal Noble European heraldry Aristocratic ecclesiastical object Original fitted case Strong visual presence with museum-quality display potential Suitable for collectors of European aristocratic memorabilia, religious artifacts, or heraldic silver metalwork
