Add Pew Cushions to Church Pews for More Comfort

18 May 2012

Posted by Joseph Coupal

Are your church pews uncomfortable? Are the pew cushions worn out? Egan's Church Furnishings and Restorations upholstery team can come to your church and reupholster your existing pew cushions and kneelers or completely replace the foam and re-upholster your cushioned pews.

Egan's upholstery team assisted St. Joseph's Church in Leicester, MA to add comfort and to their historic church pews. Structurally sound, but uncomfortable, Egan's installed new, 2-inch thick pew cushions which made these church pews much more comfortable without losing the beauty of their historic church.

Egan’s assisted St. Anthony of the Desert in Fall River, MA with the complete interior make over. The pews were structurally sound, but the parish wished to "change the look" without having to purchase new church pews. Egan's upholstery crew added 2-inch thick pew cushions to the seats and 1-inch thick cushions to the seat backs with a nice  fabric to compliment the new carpet.

Contact Egan's Church Furnishings and Restorations to help with your church pew repair or upholstery project. If your pew cushions are ripped or worn out, we can bring them back to "like new" condition.

If your kneelers are broken or damaged, we can replace them with the highest quality replacement kneelers with solid steel brackets. Call us.

Custom Created Religious Statues for Your Church or Institution

11 May 2012

Posted by Joseph Coupal

Egan’s Church Furnishings and Restorations is your best and most complete solution for new custom designed religious statues.

Take a look at the photos of a new custom designed 72" St. Francis Xavier solid Carrara marble statue. This marble statue was commissioned and delivered to Laureate Clinic & Hospital in Tulsa, OK (a division of the St Francis Health Care System).
 
The Laureate Clinic & Hospital asked Egan’s to assist in creating a new outdoor marble statue of their patron saint, St Fancis Xavier.  They submitted a picture of St. Francis  from a catalog.  After consultation with our studio in Italy, Egan’s was able to quote the price for a 72" custom, hand carved marble statue.  

The hospital’s statue donor was pleased with initial design and the price we quoted.  After the hospital placed a 10% deposit, we had our artist in Italy sculpt a clay model of what the full round sculpture of St. Francis Xavier would look like. (Clay models are used so clients can ask for alterations, which can easily be done with the clay material before carving the actual marble).

After the clay model was reviewed and approved, we sent a “rough cut” picture to the customer. After a few minor changes were made, the final design of the St. Francis Xavier marble statue was commissioned and created.
 
A picture of the finished marble statue was emailed to The Laureate Clinic & Hospital prior to crating in Italy and shipping.  The statue now stands at the main entrance and greats all patients and family members as they come to the hospital for assistance.

If your church, hospital, University or place of worship is in need of marble, wood, or bronze statues, contact Egan’s Church Furnishings and Restorations.
