Ecclesiastical Silver

04.22.2011 by Eileen Moylan //

Since this is Easter weekend I’m taking a look at some contemporary ecclesiastical silver. The history of silver is strongly linked to religion since church commissions throughout the ages kept many silversmiths in business. It can be seen in museum collections of silver and gold that many of the most expensive and elaborate pieces have a religious association. These days there is less ecclesiastical work being made which makes it all the more special when you come across beautiful pieces like these.
