n France there are many beautiful religious icons, religious items and artefacts. These range from large crosses and crucifixes, small plaster statues to wonderful oak furniture.
Solid oak pews make wonderful original pieces of furniture, and are often beautifully made, sometimes with intricate carvings or detailing. These look great when placed in a large hallway or against a kitchen wall. Cats tend to gravitate to oak pews and will happily spend the whole day curled up on a cushion, snoozing the day away!
Small plaster statues are also very lovely items, which look very attractive on a fire mantle or in a wall niche over a bed. Some of these are painted and some are left in plain plaster, both of which look very pretty.
A large cross or crucifix, often made from highly decorated cast iron or granite also looks great both indoors and out. While some may see these are "too religious", they are also historical pieces too.
