We know and understand you, the Santos enthusiast and collector.

An item from our gallery might spark that unique, personal connection to your roots and culture, and to that unique era when these artifacts were once venerated and treated with the utmost care and respect.  The santos and other artwork in our gallery once adorned churches and chapels where the faithful gathered.  They also adorned the home altars through which Christian families expressed and focused its faith in God. You may have a passion and  very special relationship with the Santos, an indescribable attachment and feeling of ownership. When you visualize the Santos character, the flowing carved vestments, the reverse inset glass eyes, the ivory age lines, the cracked polychrome paint, the exposed gesso, the worm holes, the aging cracked wood or the bent silver crown laden with patina, it produces an elation, a surge of adrenalin.  We at Antique & Vintage Santos Connection understand this unique experience so we select and offer only specimens worth collecting.

Our collection process considers all types of sculpture media, with an emphasis on each item’s artistic value, level of craftsmanship and expertise at utilizing such materials so that we can offer you specimens created with various mediums like ivory, wood, terra cotta, marble, plaster, wood/gesso, bronze and porcelain.
