Multi-Piece Traditional Nativity Set with Wooden Creche

This is a comprehensive, multi-piece nativity set presented on a white mantelpiece. The collection includes approximately 14 to 15 individual hand-painted figurines and a central wooden creche (stable). The creche features a classic A-frame design with a dark brown wood finish and a small side window, appears to be constructed of solid wood or plywood with a rustic aesthetic. The figurines represent the Holy Family, the Three Wise Men (Magi), several shepherds, and various animals including a donkey and sheep. The figures appear to be made of molded resin or porcelain with a matte, polychrome finish. Detailed craftsmanship is evident in the drapery of the clothing and the facial expressions, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century religious decor, possibly of European origin such as Fontanini or a similar quality manufacturer. Notable features include the varying postures of the Wise Men—kneeling and standing—decorated in muted tones of gold, blue, and burgundy. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant paint loss from this distance. The scale of the figures suggests a standard 5-inch or 6-inch series. The assembly is flanked by four white metal and glass lanterns of varying heights, which are modern decorative accents not original to the nativity set itself.
