Marble Sanctuary Furniture Hand Carved in Italy

Henninger's recently installed a set of marble sanctuary furniture for St. Jude Church in Columbiana, Ohio.  The furniture set included:

• Altar of Sacrifice
• Altar of Repose
• Ambo
• Baptismal Font

This project was a successful collaboration of the three company team that is featured on Hand Carved in Italy (www.handcarvedinitaly.com): Henninger's, Franco Spagnoli, and Ferdinand Stuflesser 1875.  The following images will help illustrate the different steps that made this project a reality:
