Learn more about the craftsmanship

For four generations, our partner workshop has passionately crafted sacred wood sculptures.

It is based in Italy, in Val Gardena, a mountainous region where wood carving has been perpetuated since the 17th century.

Expert artists from the art schools of Ortisei and Selva Gardena sculpt the basic models: true works of art, always different and innovative.

These models are then cast in bronze to be reproduced later on a pantograph. Alpine forest wood (from controlled reforestation areas) is best suited for sculpture.

An expert craftsman transforms the wood blocks into sculpture blanks using a pantograph. These blanks are then meticulously handcrafted in every detail.

Learn more about Notre-Dame

The Virgin with Child present in Notre-Dame dates back to the 14th century. First venerated in the old Saint-Aignan chapel on the Île de la Cité, she was integrated into the facade of the cathedral to replace the Virgin destroyed during the revolution, before being placed by Viollet-le-Duc in the transept of the building, on the right side, where an altar dedicated to Mary had always been located. The statue is then prayed to under the name of "Notre-Dame de Paris."
