We are back again with one of the most stunning Consignment Highlights thus far.

The 12 Apostles, individually hand carved by Frank Pescosta during the WWII era.

These fantastic life-like figures range in height from 66" tall to 68" tall. Each apostle is adorned with his specific biblical symbol (i.e, Peter and the keys, Simon and his saw, etc...) They also are masterfully engraved with the respective name of the saint at the front foot of each base. The detail in each statue shows elaborate attention to both what each apostle stood for, and the anatomical accuracy of the human figure - even down to the work around the wood grain!

All are now available for purchase individually ($7,500.00 USD/Each) on our website:

Today we would like to take the time to give thanks and honor to all of the brave men and women who have offered their services to protect our country.

May God bless you.

Psalm 91: My Refuge and My Fortress

91 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

It's been a while; so we thought we'd revive our Consignment Highlights for you!

Pictured below is an antique home scale altar that stands 33 inches tall, with a base measuring in at 22 inches wide and 14 inches deep. Every part of this altar was made entirely by hand, including the stunning framed centerpiece, and most of the furniture!

At the heart of the altar where, traditionally, the tabernacle sits - is a rotating alcove which can be opened and closed by the spinning the door. The base (which follows the proper standard of placing the altar on the top of 3 steps) is upholstered in a red velvety lining, with pins along the edges keeping the fabric in place.

There are 12 Wooden candlesticks (6 tall, and 6 short), 2 large wooden 3-lite candelabra, 2 small metal candelabra, 1 metal paschal candle stand, 2 small metal candlesticks with faux rose adornments, 3 gold painted glass bottles (likely to represent ambry bottles), 2 clear glass bottles (likely to represent cruets or holy water bottles), a gold painted metal monstrance, 2 dome shaped finial crosses, 11 small flower pots, 2 porcelain Sacred Heart figures, 2 porcelain Immaculate Heart figures, 2 porcelain St. Joseph figures, and 2 porcelain adorning angels with gold painted wings (one damaged).

The history of scale home altars such as this one is a bit fuzzy. Outside of the standard reasoning for scale models used in architecture - scale model altars have been used to educate children about the significance of the traditions of the mass, as well as stories of these altars having been used for home devotion, especially during times of religious persecution.

While there are "vintage" toy altars for children that date between the 1950s to 1980s, these antique altars were used often for home devotion, the popularity being traced to the early 1900s and earlier.

Though we can't say for sure the exact date this ornate piece was built, the foundational condition of the wood, velvet, and centerpiece lead us to believe it is nearly 100 years old.

The sale price is is set at $2,000.00 USD

Ash Wednesday - February 14th 2024;

We hope you all have a blessed start to the Lenten Season.

Matthew 6:16-18 - “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
