Frank Theodore is an artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Frank Theodore spent years hunched over library manuscripts and museum drawers, sketching medieval church silver until his hands cramped. He didn’t just copy the ornate chalices, he traced their shadows, the way light slid off the beaten gold and chased the engravings. He left behind three exacting drawings of rare church cups from Somerset to Yorkshire, all done in the same three years. Tap “The Nettlecombe Chalice” next–it’s the one with the twisted handles that look like frozen vines.
