The name Favier has a long and charged history, starting approximately 1824 and ending in 1976. The Favier silversmiths were famous manufacturers of ecclesiastical silver works such as chalices, ciboria, monstrances, patens, cruets and plates. Their work can be seen in many cathedral treasuries. At least 179 works are inventoried and protected today in the name of historical monuments in the Ariège department. Religious silversmithing was profoundly innovated by the Favier family by excerpting on medieval sources and later by joining movements of symbolism and Art Nouveau. All four brothers were born at Meximieux, a municipality, 37 km north-east of Lyon, Ain department, region Rhône-Alpes: Jean-Marie-François-Henri Favier (also named François) on 28 July 1800, André-Michel Favier on 29 September 1805, Pierre-Henry Favier on 11 July 1809 and Joseph Favier on 8 August 1811. The Maison Favier in Lyon was established between 1824 and 1827 by two brothers François and André-Michel. Pierre-Henry, André and Joseph Favier (François died in 1827 in Lyon) were very close and worked together in Lyon from 1824 until Pierre-Henry moved to Paris in 1846, followed a few years later by Joseph (before 1851). François had three sons, Philippe (gilder, b.1821-d.1864), Claude (silversmith, b.1824-d.1849) and Jean-Baptiste (silversmith, b.1824-d.1899). André-Michel and his nephews Claude and Jean-Baptiste managed the business Favier Frères in Lyon until 1860.

1 Gothic - Style Cillinder Monstrance

Neo-Gothic monstrance in the shape of a tower – Golden brass – Late 19th century – Attributed to Bourdon (Ghent) and what is rare with its custom-made display case. Exceptional architectural-type monstrance, said to be “tower-shaped,” made in gilded brass, attributed to the Bourdon workshop in Ghent, active in the second half of the 19th century and renowned for its high-quality liturgical metalwork. The ensemble is designed as a true Neo-Gothic architecture: central spire topped by a cross – openwork pinnacles – Gothic arcades – crenellated crown – openwork gallery – finely worked small columns The lunette without glass is present, mounted on a twisted stem, perfectly functional. The carved decoration includes: – An archangel at the top of the tower – Two saints praying placed under side arcades (likely intercessor saints, treated with finesse) The perimeter is adorned with floral rose windows set with colored cabochons (glass or hard stones), alternating red, blue, and violet tones, providing an elegant chromatic contrast to the gilding. Circular base richly chased: – Beaded friezes – Radiant motifs – Regular geometric engraving Careful workmanship, typical of large Belgian precious-metal productions. The monstrance is presented in its period wooden-and-glass display case with a hinged door, perfectly fitted to the object. This case served both for transport and liturgical display. Dimensions of the monstrance: Height ≈ 61 cm x Width ≈ 16 cm x Depth ≈ 19 cm Dimensions of the display case: Height ≈ 68 cm x Width ≈ 31 cm x Depth ≈ 24 cm Condition Very good overall condition. The gilding is well preserved, with slight normal signs of use. The display case is old with a patina of time, the structure is sound. A rare piece for its architectural format, its engraving quality, and its iconography.
