EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chalice of Chelles: A Glimpse into the Past". This print showcases "The Chalice of Chelles" an exquisite illustration from the early 20th-century Dictionnaire d'archeologie chretienne et de liturgie by Henri Leclerq and Fernand Cabrol. The artwork, created by Saussay, A. du in a vibrant color lithograph, offers a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of this renowned artifact. Also known as the Chalice of St. Eligius, this magnificent piece was unfortunately destroyed during the French Revolution. However, its legacy lives on through historical records and depictions such as this one. Believed to have been crafted by the famous artificer St. Eligius of Noyon, it is said that the chalice was adorned with gold, enamels, and precious stones. The intricate design featured in this illustration highlights various elements including a decorative cup with a chequered pattern and enamel work. The goblet's nodus or knop adds further elegance to its overall appearance. Through this image captured from eArchives Charmet's collection at Bibliotheque du Patrimoine in Paris, France; we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic mastery and religious significance associated with such sacred vessels. Although physically lost to history's upheavals, "The Chalice of Chelles" continues to inspire awe and admiration for its beauty and craftsmanship even today.
