Guadalupe Shrine

Our smallest Virgen de Guadalupe shrine is tastefully decorated and comes with a small hook for easy wall mounting at the backside, the silhouette of the Virgin of Guadalupe is covered with a subtle line of golden glitter.

In Mexico, the small shrines are called Nichos and are a classic decorative element on the Day of the Dead altar. Nichos with themes like the Virgen de Guadalupe or other religious motifs, mostly stay decorated throughout the entire year as a steady house shrine installation. Initially, Nichos were a traditional adaptation of the elaborate Retablo art of the Roman Catholic Church.

We buy our shrines directly from a family clan in Mexico City who invented this kind of folk art generations ago and who maintain a widespread network of manufactories. It's a matter of course for us, that we offer this particular speciality in exquisite quality only, as all of them have been hand-picked from limited productions while the majority of our Nichos has even been customized for us.
