Wood and metal decorative plaque featuring the Serenity Prayer with Art Nouveau floral design, manufactured by Home Interiors (HOMCO)

This decorative wall plaque was produced by Home Interiors and Gifts (HOMCO), a direct sales company founded in 1957 that became one of America's largest home décor party-plan businesses. The company specialized in affordable religious and inspirational wall art during the 1970s through 1990s, with the Serenity Prayer being among their most popular designs. The prayer itself, written by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the 1930s, became widely adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other recovery programs, making it a meaningful piece for many households. Serenity Prayer plaques appeal to collectors of vintage home décor, religious memorabilia enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century American domestic culture. These pieces are particularly valued by collectors of HOMCO products and individuals seeking nostalgic reminders of 1970s-1980s home interiors. The Art Nouveau-inspired floral border and combination of wood with metal overlay represents the affordable decorative aesthetic that made Home Interiors products accessible to middle-class American families during this era.
