A few months ago, we purchased two hand carved saints at an antique store in Colorado. I had the chance to stop by the same booth in the same store earlier in the fall and found another carved saint.
This piece has Honduras mahogany, an artist's name, and '77 written on the back. I would love to know the story!
I think vintage and antique objects capture my heart because of the story and all of the wear and love. This piece is a great example of art with meaning and an amazing story, if only from my imagination.
The corner of our living room features my little collection of saints. I find a great deal of comfort in looking at them and imagining them looking over us.
