Yes, stunning items as you say. But just wait until you see the prices on them! I don't see how any of us could afford them.

Not to mention the cost of shipping from the Netherlands. They are beautiful items.

Stunning indeed. The sad part is the provenance of these items. From their History tab, the first and last two paragraphs unfortunately say it all:
In the late sixties and the early seventies of the last century, right after the decision of the Vatican Counsil in Rome to innovate the catholic liturgy, Joannes Peters started collecting attributes. ...
... Since 1972 Fluminalis - as first company in Europe - has been buying complete church-inventories and material & items from demolished religious buildings.
51 Monasteries in Holland, Belgium and France were totally cleared by Fluminalis; 26 big churches and 81 chapels did sell their complete inventory to Fluminalis; from 231 religious buildings Fluminalis bought greater parts of the inventory. From 39 church-towers Fluminalis removed 87 bells...........
Let's hope they're still in business when Restoration time finally arrives. :incense:

Yes, I actually was thinking the same thing as your last sentence after reading their history. 😅
And for the other who talked about the pricing... Yeah... We totally couldn't afford anything from their site...
I am looking into making our own religious outdoor shrines because they are so expensive. 😜
