Nativity Figurines
& Accessories
 |
Nativities clearly express the all-important true meaning of Christmas and form really glorious displays in a home or church. The Fontanini range is just one of many different styles & sizes of nativities available in our store but it is possibly the most collectible of them all. And, whilst certainly not toys, Fontanini figurines can be safely handled by children because they are virtually unbreakable and lot is learnt by a "hands-on" experience of the various pieces. Having a family nativity scene is sure to clarify the significance of the birth of Jesus in a child's mind. |

The Story of Fontanini Heirloom Nativities
From humble
beginnings in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Fontanini Heirloom Nativities have
risen to world-wide
acclaim. Over a century after Emanuele Fontanini founded the House of
Fontanini in 1908, its hand-painted Nativities grace the Vatican, international
cathedrals and appear in Hollywood films. Fontanini’s
unique blend of Old World craftsmanship with modern innovation has made classic
Italian sculpture accessible to families everywhere, even the youngest
child!
Working with the most talented sculptors and painters of Tuscany, Fontanini figures today are still made by the fourth generation of the family who take pride in monitoring the production of their nativities.
The company has always specialised in hand-crafted, hand-painted Italian nativity figures which have become Christmas symbols throughout Italy and the world. However, there are also many figurines in the Fontanini collection that depict the Easter message.
Thanks to the remarkable medium of polymer, each figure resists breakage yet faithfully reproduces the exquisite detail of the original clay sculpture.
Start your own family tradition with an Heirloom Nativity, the heart of Christmas celebrations and cherished memories for generations.
A gift of Fontanini is certainly a 'forever' gift - a beautiful Christmas present, but equally appropriate for Easter, a birthday or any other special occasion.
So if you’re looking for an extra special gift for the person who has everything, remember Fontanini figurines.
