Santos Figure
The glass eyes are stunning grey and with slightly parted lips and a look of fear, give this statue a wonderful unique look.

What Our Customers Say
After searching antique dealer sites for several months with no success in an effort to find a special centre piece/ talking point antique for my new business reception area, following a tip from a friend I checked out “The House of Antiques” and after talking to Harry who I found to be not only very knowledgeable but extremely helpful, they sourced me the most incredible Scratch Built boat that I have ever seen and one that has proven to be a real talking point with all our guests who clearly love it just as much as I do, its truly amazing.
I would definitely recommend The House of Antiques to anyone who is searching for that special something because your bound to find it there. I did.
