Aplices
Aplices are metal lamps that are placed on both interior and exterior walls. The first silver aplices appeared in the 17th century, while porcelain and pseudo-gold have been used since the 18th century. In their early days, they held candles or torches and their light was intensified by a reflecting back surface.
Aplices are widely used by the Orthodox Church for the decoration and lighting of the interior of the Holy Temples.
Our catalog includes aplices made of brass and aluminum with one or more lights. They are gilded and made with Christian symbols such as the Cross and the double-headed eagle or with images of Saints.

"...After a very long day caring for my three grandchildren, my wife and daughter and I arrived home to find a very tidy, compact crate sitting on our doorstep. I felt as if I didn't want to open it at first, fearing I had possibly ordered the wrong thing or the item would be damaged. But,as usual, my wife Presbytera Elizabeth could not wait any longer and we both opened the crate. What a joy it was to see the font exactly as I had envisioned without one scratch or dent on it. Glory be to God! Your packaging was PERFECT and protected everything beautifully. I cannot thank you enough for caring for our humble needs in such a personal way. God bless you for your labors. I will sneak the font into the church so that everyone can share the surprise and joy upon seeing it for the first time. And thank your craftsmen who hammered and turned the copper so beautifully. Everything is beautiful! Thank you again and again...."
