Brand: House of Fontanini | Part Number: 57704

Complete your life-size Nativity display with the beautifully crafted 70 Inch Manger Only by Fontanini. Designed specifically for Fontanini's impressive 70-inch scale Nativity Collection, this heirloom-quality manger provides a reverent resting place for the Christ Child and serves as the symbolic centerpiece of your Christmas display. Richly detailed with realistic wood grain, hand-sculpted straw, and elegant hand-painted accents, this manger captures the humble beauty of the stable in Bethlehem while reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship that has made Fontanini renowned around the world.

Expertly handcrafted in Italy, the manger is produced from marble-based resin, giving it exceptional durability while preserving the warmth and beauty of finely carved wood. The carefully layered straw texture surrounds the cradle with lifelike realism, while subtle gold accents along the interior highlight the place prepared for the newborn King. Every detail has been thoughtfully finished by skilled artisans, creating a stunning focal point worthy of churches, chapels, schools, outdoor Nativity displays, and collectors seeking the very finest in large-scale Christmas décor.

Whether displayed as part of a permanent parish Nativity or assembled each Christmas season, this magnificent manger beautifully complements Fontanini's life-size Holy Family and 70-inch Nativity figures. Its timeless design allows the Christ Child to remain the visual and spiritual center of the Nativity scene, reminding all who gather that Christmas begins in the humble manger at Bethlehem.

At House of Fontanini, we invite you to shop Fontanini with confidence, knowing you're purchasing authentic Fontanini creations from people who share your passion for preserving the Christmas story. Whether you're furnishing a church sanctuary, creating a parish display, or building an heirloom-quality outdoor Nativity, this beautifully handcrafted manger represents the quality and artistry collectors have trusted for generations.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, nestled in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, Italy, where Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. What started as a small family business has become one of the world's most respected names in heirloom-quality Nativity collections. Today, Fontanini artisans continue to handcraft each masterpiece using traditional sculpting, molding, and hand-finishing techniques that have been passed down through generations.

For more than 25 years, House of Fontanini.com has proudly continued that tradition by offering authentic Fontanini collections directly to churches, collectors, and families throughout the United States. As a locally owned Minnesota small business, we don't simply sell Fontanini—we truly love it. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains:

"Telling His Story, one piece at a time."
