Marble altars and marble sanctuary furniture
Marble altars have been used in churches of all denominations for centuries. Egan Church Restorations work with numerous marble studios in Italy to provide almost any design marble altar or sanctuary furniture you many need.
Marble altars and marble church furniture.
Church altars are the focal point of all churches and we have them available in many styles and sizes. We have shown below just a handful of designs for your review. However, most churches will choose to have a custom design to fit their new church or for a major renovation.
When choosing an altar for your church, it is important to match the overall style of architecture of the worship site. Colonial, gothic, romanesque, contemporary or modern, matching styles will enhance your sanctuary design. Next, it is important to plan an altar size appropriate for the functionality of the sanctuary. Planning for normal movement in the sanctuary for daily masses and special occasions needs to be planned for ease of movement.

All our marble furniture is imported from Italy, not China. Our studios are multi generation of highly skilled stone carvers and are located in the Carrara region of Italy. In addition to many designs of beautiful marble altars, our studio’s can create matching Pulpits, Baptismal Fonts, Tabernacle Stands, Altar Rails and more.
All marble furniture is “made to order” for each client. The images above are just some previous examples created by our studio’s in Italy. Some installations of these were done by other vendors. We will be glad to work with your architect or liturgical designer to create an altar and matching sanctuary furniture for your site. Traditional, contemporary, or any design you prefer.
To get started on custom marble furniture designs, we can start with your architectural drawings of the sanctuary or for an existing church, some good quality photos of the sanctuary and main church. Next we would need your input on what your ideas are for the new furniture, traditional, contemporary etc, color marble and any decorative carving or mosaics. Lastly we would need your measurements either of the furniture to be replaced or the planned sanctuary.
We can also assist with custom wood altars and sanctuary furniture as well as marble, wood or porcelain tile flooring. Visit our other pages for some examples of our previous work.

Italian marble VS Chinese marble furniture: We only buy from Italian Carving Studios that have multiple generations of highly skilled artists to create the highest quality furniture. Chinese sources are “new” and have unskilled crafts people that come and go regularly. The quality of one piece may be good, but the same piece a year later could be suspect. In addition, many types of marble for church furniture originate in Italy. Chinese firms then have to purchase and import the marble, 10,000 miles away in order to create your furniture.
