Catholic church interiors & sacred art

Church Interior and Sacred Art Services

Lanzini & Sons creates custom sacred art and renews existing church interiors. New statue commissions and other custom work are a central part of our practice, alongside restoration of artwork, furnishings and finishes.

Figures and images

    Custom statues and Stations of the Cross

    Custom statues, the restoration of existing figures, and care for complete Stations of the Cross series. The subject and its place guide the work.

    We design and create custom statues for churches and institutions, welcome private commissions, and restore existing statuary. A new commission can begin with an idea for the figure and its setting; a finished design is not required.

    Murals and religious painting

    New religious paintings and murals, restoration of existing works, and decorative painting that belongs to the architecture around it.

    We create new murals and religious paintings and restore existing works. A commission begins with the subject and setting. Restoration begins with the painting’s construction, condition and history.

    Mosaic design and restoration

    Commissioned sacred images and architectural mosaics, alongside restoration of existing mosaic walls and settings.

    We design and create church mosaics and restore existing ones. A new commission starts with the sacred subject and architectural setting. An existing mosaic starts with its condition, including the surface beneath it.

    Church interior renovation

    We renovate existing church interiors, from a fresh coat of paint to coordinated work on artwork, furnishings and finishes. Projects can include minor changes to the existing interior. Our current scope covers existing buildings; new church buildings and building additions are outside that scope.

    We design custom sanctuary furnishings and restore or adapt existing elements. Work can include altars, baptismal-font arrangements, tabernacle settings and related wood, stone or bronze pieces. The furnishing’s use and its place in the sanctuary guide the project.

    Catholic liturgical design

    Sacred art and furnishings considered in relationship to the altar, ambo, font, tabernacle and surrounding church interior.

    Catholic liturgical design considers how worship, sacred art and the church interior work together. The altar, ambo, font, tabernacle and devotional images each have a purpose, and their scale and placement need to suit the space where they are used.

    Public art and historic restoration

    We welcome public-art and historic-restoration projects, including work outside churches. An inquiry can concern sculpture, paintings, murals or decorative finishes. The material, condition, setting and owner’s goals determine whether a project is a fit.

Catholic liturgical design considers the altar, ambo, font, tabernacle and sacred art in the setting where they are used. For a focused furnishing project, see altars and sanctuary furnishings.

Our custom work includes bronze pieces, woodwork, modesty panels, tabernacle settings and baptismal-font arrangements. The Saint Columban tabernacle niche brings mosaic, marble and lighting together in one setting.
