Baptismal font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM52001959]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Année de création : 1568". The restoration of the 16th-century font here is noted and illustrated in JHM.FR [https://jhm.fr/les-fonts-baptismaux-en-renovation/] [accessed 2 March 2024]: "Walérian Loyon, conservateur-restaurateur du patrimoine, a exécuté un travail de rénovation sur un mobilier ecclésiastique : les fonts baptismaux de l’église de Giey. En premier lieu, il a dépoussiéré, refixé la peinture, consolidé des écailles, comblé des lacunes et nettoyé à la vapeur. Les morceaux brisés ont été recollés et remis en place. Le faux marbre, qui est probablement d’origine (XVIe siècle), a été rénové et la peinture daterait certainement du XXe siècle. La date de 1568 est inscrite sur les fonts baptismaux qui sont d’un style Renaissance et gothique." There is no cover present on it now byt the upper rim of the basin has at least onemetal staple from an old cover.
