11 Piece Nativity Figure Set with Italian Stable – Fontanini 5 Inch Collection

Brand: House of Fontanini | Fontanini Item #54490

Celebrate the wonder, beauty, and sacred meaning of the first Christmas with the 11 Piece Nativity Figure Set with Italian Stable by Fontanini, Item #54490. A true Fontanini classic, this magnificent 5-inch scale Nativity brings together the Holy Family, Three Kings, Gloria Angel, sheep, ox, and donkey beneath a beautifully handcrafted Italian stable.

This is the kind of Nativity that can become the heart of a family's Christmas.

At the center rests Baby Jesus in the manger, lovingly surrounded by Mary and Joseph. Nearby, the ox and donkey quietly share the humble shelter while two gentle sheep complete the peaceful stable scene. Above, the Gloria Angel proclaims the joyous news of Christ's birth.

Then come the Three Kings, bringing another important chapter of the Nativity story into your display as they journey to worship the newborn King.

Together, these eleven beautifully detailed Fontanini figures create a complete and compelling Bethlehem scene filled with faith, warmth, and Old World Italian character.

11 Fontanini Figures Tell the Story of Christmas

This substantial Nativity set includes:

• Mary
• Joseph
• Baby Jesus in the Manger
• Three Kings / Wise Men
• Gloria Angel
• Two Sheep
• Ox
• Donkey
• Traditional Italian Stable

Rather than purchasing only a Holy Family starter set, Fontanini Item #54490 gives you many of the most important characters of the Christmas story in one beautifully coordinated collection.

The Holy Family creates the sacred center.

The Gloria Angel recalls the heavenly proclamation.

The sheep, ox, and donkey bring warmth and humility to the stable.

And the Three Kings allow you to extend the story beyond the manger and recreate their journey toward Bethlehem.

A Handcrafted Italian Stable Filled with Old World Character

One of the most striking features of this Fontanini Nativity is its substantial Italian stable.

Measuring approximately 16.75"W x 11.5"H x 8.5"D, the stable provides an impressive backdrop for the 5-inch figures while remaining practical for a mantel, console table, Nativity cabinet, Christmas display table, or area beneath the Christmas tree.

Natural wood, bark, and moss create wonderful texture and rustic character. Architectural details, stone-inspired elements, a distinctive staircase, wooden beams, and natural moss accents give the stable the appearance of a structure that belongs within an ancient Bethlehem village.

The result is more than a backdrop.

It creates a setting.

And once the figures are arranged beneath and around it, the Nativity begins to feel like a moment from the Christmas story brought to life.

Hand-Painted Fontanini Figures Made in Italy

The figures are crafted from Fontanini's durable polymer and made in Italy, where artisans carefully hand-paint each character.

Look closely and you'll discover what has made Fontanini so beloved by generations of collectors—the serene expressions, flowing garments, carefully modeled poses, subtle colors, and individual personality given to each figure.

The polymer construction also offers an important advantage for family Nativities: durability.

Fontanini figures are made to become part of Christmas traditions—to be carefully unpacked, arranged, admired, and returned to their boxes year after year.

That combination of artistry and durability is one reason so many Fontanini collections are eventually passed from one generation to another.

A Nativity Made for Storytelling

Fontanini has always been about more than placing figures around a manger.

It's about telling the story.

The figures in this set can be arranged to help that story unfold throughout the Christmas season.

Begin Advent with the stable waiting.

Place Mary and Joseph on their journey.

Bring the Holy Family together at Christmas.

Position the Gloria Angel above the scene.

Gather the animals around the manger.

Then place the Three Kings farther away and move them gradually toward the stable as Epiphany approaches.

Instead of becoming a decoration that simply sits unchanged throughout December, your Fontanini Nativity can become a meaningful part of how your family celebrates the Christmas story.

Fontanini Story Cards Add Another Layer to the Tradition

Fontanini collectors know that every character has a story.

This set is gift-boxed, and specialty Fontanini retailers report that the figures include Fontanini story cards, offering historical details and insight into the daily life, challenges, and simple joys of people living during biblical times.

Those cards help turn collecting into something more meaningful.

Children and adults can learn about the characters, imagine their place within Bethlehem, and understand how each new figure contributes another part of the larger story.

It's another reason a Fontanini Nativity can become much more than Christmas décor.

An Exceptional First Fontanini Nativity

For someone beginning a Fontanini collection, Item #54490 offers an outstanding foundation.

You aren't starting with only three figures.

You already have the Holy Family.

You already have the Gloria Angel.

You already have traditional stable animals.

And you already have the Three Kings.

That means your Nativity looks beautifully established from the very first Christmas while still leaving enormous opportunity to grow.

Your Bethlehem Can Grow Every Christmas

Once the stable and primary Nativity characters are in place, the real fun of collecting begins.

Add shepherds tending larger flocks around the outskirts of Bethlehem.

Introduce camels and attendants to expand the journey of the Three Kings.

Bring villagers, merchants, craftsmen, women, and children into the streets.

Add wells, walls, market stalls, bridges, pathways, and fences.

Create the surrounding landscape with Fontanini palm trees, cypress trees, rocks, and other scenery.

Then add buildings and shops until the humble stable at the center of your display becomes part of an entire Bethlehem village.

One new figure can become a Christmas gift.

One building can become a family memory.

One accessory can inspire an entirely new arrangement.

That's the joy of building a Fontanini Nativity one piece at a time.

A Meaningful Heirloom Christmas Gift

The 11 Piece Nativity Set with Italian Stable #54490 makes an extraordinary gift for someone you want to give more than ordinary Christmas décor.

Consider it for:

• Families beginning a Nativity tradition
• Newlyweds celebrating their first Christmas together

• Grandparents beginning a Fontanini collection for grandchildren

Before long, the collection doesn't simply represent Bethlehem.

It represents your family's Christmases together.

The Fontanini Tradition Since 1908

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled among the beautiful hills of Tuscany.

In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop, establishing a family business that grew from humble beginnings into a world-renowned creator of Nativity figures and religious art.

Generation after generation, the Fontanini family continued the tradition.

Fontanini figures became known for their expressive faces, detailed sculpting, beautifully painted garments, natural poses, and unmistakable Old World character.

Made from durable polymer, the figures are meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans through a multi-generational, family-guided process.

The result is a Nativity tradition that has endured for more than a century.

A Fontanini collection isn't intended merely to decorate the house for one Christmas.

It's created to become part of Christmas itself.
