King Balthazar – 27" Masterpiece Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53116

Step forward into the sacred story of the Nativity with King Balthazar, a majestic figure from the revered Fontanini® 27" Masterpiece Collection. Depicted as one of the Three Wise Men, Balthazar advances in reverence, bearing his gift with dignity and devotion.

His flowing robes are sculpted with remarkable depth and movement, adorned in rich turquoise, ivory, and subtle metallic accents that reflect the grandeur of traditional Italian Nativity artistry. Intricate patterns across his garments, the finely detailed crown, and the expressive sculpting of his face all demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Fontanini’s heirloom-quality creations.

At an impressive 27" scale, Balthazar commands attention in both church and institutional displays while maintaining a deeply spiritual presence suitable for larger home settings. The marble-based resin construction ensures durability without sacrificing the elegance and detail collectors expect from Fontanini.

The Fontanini Legacy

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the family business grew into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each figure is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans through a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Today, that cherished tradition continues here at House of Fontanini.com. For over 25 years, we have proudly operated as a locally owned small business, sharing our passion for these timeless pieces from our Minnesota warehouse.

Our mission remains simple and heartfelt:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

King Balthazar is more than a figure — he is a powerful symbol of reverence, faith, and the global reach of the Nativity story.
