Hand-Colored Neoclassical Chalice Engraving

This item is a framed, hand-colored engraving depicting an ornate neoclassical chalice or goblet. The central image features a deep ruby-red bowl cradled in a golden or gilt architectural stem, which is decorated with festive garlands and scrolls. The base is footed with winged or shell-like motifs, evoking late 18th to mid-19th-century European design aesthetics. The engraving is presented within a complex, multi-layered matting system consisting of a green textured outer mat and a gold-toned inner fillet with red accents. The entire piece is housed in a substantial gold-gilt wooden frame featuring a repeated egg-and-dart or scroll molding. Notable markings include a small 'No. 5' or similar inscription in the top left corner of the print, suggesting it belongs to a series or a larger folio. The condition shows visible foxing and dark staining on the right-hand side of the print, along with significant dust and debris trapped behind the glass. The black outer mat appears aged with some surface mottling. The craftsmanship indicates a refined decorative print, likely produced as a plate for a historical design catalog or interior decoration manual.
