Three generations of the Rasquinha family, making sacred art for churches, chapels and homes around the world.
Our Lady.
Lourdes, Fatima, the Assumption, the Immaculate Heart, Mount Carmel, Perpetual Succour.
Our best-loved statues: the blue of the mantle, the gold of the hem and the gentleness of the face, all painted by hand.

The Expectant Mother.
Mary awaiting the birth of her Son, her hands upon the Child she carries.
One of the statues our customers ask for most: for parish shrines, maternity wards and the homes of families awaiting a child.

St Joseph.
With the Child Jesus in his arms, and lilies in his hand.
For parish churches, schools, workshops and homes: in colour for indoors, or in white for gardens and grottos.

Crowned, holding the orb, with two cherubs at his feet.
