Extremely Rare Early 1900s Brass Altar Server Set or Church Mass Teaching Set

About the Item

For the collectors of very rare and museum worthy church 'teaching tools'. We had heard of the existence of sets like this, but we had never seen one anywhere. To have found one from the Arts & Crafts era and in this amazing condition more than made our day. Including the altar cards (of which we are not sure if they are original to this set) and including the spoons we have counted 24 pieces in total. We learned that these sets functioned as a training tool for altar boys and this particular set has been extremely well taken care after. The wear on the holy water sprinkler with its ebonized wooden handle shows us that this set has been used more than what the excellent condition brass pieces would lead you to believe. Included in this set are 6 candle holders, a monstrance, a ciborium, a holy water container, a church censer, a boat, a sprinkler with vessel, altar cards, a chalice, an altar bell a bible stand, several spoons and a few pieces of which we don't know the names. Many of the pieces even come with their original, terry-cloth-like bag. This set would look great on display in a museum, but if it would again be used in a church then that too would be perfect. We found it difficult to price these rare antique church relics, because you just don't find them anywhere. We want them all to stay together as a set and we have priced them in such a way that they can also go to a private collector, to a church or to a monastery with a more modest budget. Maximum height x width x depth of the monstrance: 9 x 4 x 3.4 inches. Maximum height x diameter of the ciborium: 6.6 x 3.45 inches. Maximum height x diameter of the six candleholders: 3.5 x 2.9 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
