Large Antique French Church Altar Set of Four Pricket Candlesticks with Fifth Central Stick

God bless you, Mr. John,
The package arrived today. That was extremely fast shipping! Everything was packed exceedingly well. It is very good that you put those three layers of cardboard on top of the spikes of the candlesticks. The bigger candlestick had almost busted through the third layer.
I also appreciate your excellent communication through the whole process.
I shall certainly remember you and the business in my prayers when I offer Holy Mass using these candlesticks.
Prayers and sacrifices,

1920's Vintage French Statue of Our Lady of Lourdes BV with Glass Eyes

Antique Church Furnishings is a great place for anyone looking to find quality, unusual, hard to find articles of an ecclesiastical nature. Well worth a browse around the store.
I found two wonderful old religious statues, of the quality and type you don’t find very often nowadays.
The staff are really friendly and helpful, especially Annie who is a treasure herself. I was kept updated at every stage of the purchase from payment to delivery. This is real customer service which you seldom find today. I have no hesitation in recommending Antique Church Furnishings. Glenn A

Just a quick e-mail to say how very impressed I was when the Victorian Church Altar Cross I purchased from you arrived today. The packing of this 130 year old artefact was absolutely brilliant, nothing was left to chance and it took me nearly 5 minutes to completely unwrap the cross. From start to finish, my experience in dealing with you has been first class, many thanks to all at Fryleigh Farm Barn, I will most certainly use your company again should I need another religious piece.

You couldn't find a nicer company. Stunning objects, very reasonable prices, and a fantastically helpful team. I bought some lovely chapel chairs and the ACF people let me pick them up (safely and socially distanced) and we're really helpful with my questions about refinishing.

Subject Table, Chairs & Pew

February 2021
Good morning Annie and John,

As you'll know, on Wednesday the pew, table, and chairs were safely delivered to us in Devon by Stuart . I wanted to tell you how thrilled we are; the grain and sheen of the table in particular is wonderful, complemented by the small and cosy pew! With the chairs, they're just right, sitting now in the heart of our victorian home - and we know that they'll be enjoyed by all generations of our family for many years to come.

Thank you so much for your excellent service, your efficient communication (including quick correction of my error when ordering), and the fast friendly delivery - and all at very reasonable cost.

Sending best wishes for your continuing success!
