Mexican nichos

These fun and colourful wooden boxes, known in Mexico as nichos, have their origins in the simple little shrines that families bought from artisans to decorate with images of saints and virgins.

Over the years, these nichos lost their votive character and began to adapt to more light-hearted images. In particular, skulls and representations of the Day of the Dead were added.

Handicraft from Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende

Mexican handicrafts are undoubtedly some of the most colourful and authentic in the world, which makes them so dazzling. The Nichos we offer are made in Oaxaca or San Miguel de Allende, two of the best known areas for their quality and creativity.

The outside of the box can be made of wood or metal and can be in the shape of a box or a cross. The figures inside are made of papier-mâché or plaster. The metal niches are fitted with a small glazed door to allow you to insert the picture you want.
