Collections and styles for every setting
The collection encompasses a variety of interpretations designed to harmonise with diverse spaces and aesthetic tastes. Those who appreciate ready-coordinated arrangements can opt for complete handcrafted wooden nativity sets, ideal for creating the entire scene with a cohesive visual feel and meticulous attention to detail. For contemporary interiors, modern wooden nativity sets offer clean, minimalist lines that focus on the tenderness of the family embrace and the purity of form.
The range also features collections designed for limited spaces, such as small wooden nativity sets, and individual sculptures carved from a single block in the section dedicated to wooden nativity scenes. To build a bespoke display, you can individually choose single wooden nativity figures, completing the scene with essential wooden nativity animals and traditional wooden nativity stables and houses.
Guide to choosing the ideal nativity set
Selecting the perfect nativity set requires an initial assessment of the proportions and style of your home. A key consideration is the scale of the figurines: to maintain a flawless visual balance, all pieces added over time should match the proportional height of the Saint Joseph figure. Compact sculptures fit easily onto shelves, bookcases or console tables, whereas larger sculptural displays require a dedicated surface or a suitably proportioned stable.
A second aspect is the wood finish. Natural versions highlight the authentic grain and warm glow of the timber, pairing perfectly with rustic or modern settings. Figures finished with hand-blended oil colours, by contrast, offer extraordinary visual depth, lending intensity to facial expressions and accentuating drapery in the finest tradition of wooden nativity sets from Val Gardena.
Frequently asked questions about wooden nativity sets
What is the difference between a nativity scene and a complete nativity set?
A nativity scene comprises solely the Holy Family with Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, whilst a complete nativity set also includes the stable, the Three Wise Men, shepherds and animals.
How do you clean wooden nativity sculptures?
We recommend dusting the figures regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a fine-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical solvents that could damage the wood.
Can the set be expanded over the years?
By keeping to the same collection and scale of the figures, you can add new characters, shepherds and animals at any later stage.
