Advent Calendar Wood Appraisal

Nativity Scene Wooden Advent Calendar Cabinet

This is a shadow-box style wooden Advent calendar featuring a central Nativity stable scene. The construction appears to be medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or structured plywood, painted in a deep midnight blue palette. The central artwork depicts a three-dimensional relief of a thatched stable under a starry night sky, with a golden light emanating from the interior. The border consists of twenty-four individual small pull-out drawers, numbered 1 through 24 in a gold-colored serif font. Each drawer is equipped with a small, round brass-tone metallic knob. The drawers alternate in color between a reddish-brown and the primary navy blue of the frame. The item is encased in protective plastic wrap, which obscures some fine surface details but suggests it is being sold as a refurbished or secondhand retail item, evidenced by a 'Value Village' price tag of $12.99 visible on the bottom right corner. Its style is contemporary folk art, likely manufactured within the last 15-20 years. The condition appears excellent with no visible chipping, though the plastic wrap makes a definitive assessment of the paint finish difficult. This piece serves both as a holiday countdown and a decorative seasonal display.
