VILLAGE GIFT IMPORTERS Nativity Creche Stable 12" Tall 19" Wide — Handcrafted Italian Moss, Hay & Wood Rustic (2 Styles)

The VILLAGE GIFT IMPORTERS Nativity Creche Stable is a handcrafted Italian stable, 12" tall and 19" wide, made from wood, moss, hay and fabric to create a lifelike setting for your Nativity figurines.

This creche stable blends traditional materials and old-world craftsmanship to create a rustic backdrop for your holiday display. Designed and assembled in Italy, the stable uses textured elements—sticks, hay, moss and fabric roof accents—to provide a believable setting for Nativity figures of various sizes. Its footprint and open-front design make it easy to arrange characters, animals and accessories so the scene feels both intimate and authentic.

How large is this stable and will my figurines fit?

The stable stands 12 inches tall, stretches 19 inches across the front, and is about 8 inches deep, offering generous room for a standard Nativity grouping. The open interior accommodates a range of figure heights and positions so you can create a balanced display.

• Overall height: 12 in (30.48 cm)
• Front width: 19 in (48.26 cm)
• Depth: 8 in (20.32 cm)
• Open-front layout for easy arrangement of figures

What materials and finishes give the stable its realistic look?

Artisans combine natural and crafted elements—rough-hewn wood, bundled sticks, simulated hay and patches of moss—plus fabric accents to replicate a humble shelter. These materials are assembled by hand to highlight texture and irregularity, important details that create visual depth in the scene.

• Hand-applied moss and hay for organic texture
• Wood and stick framing for rustic authenticity
• Fabric pieces used for roof or interior draping details
• Subtle irregularities from the handcrafted process

Are there style options and how do I choose between them?

This creche is offered in two distinct stylistic versions, each emphasizing slightly different finishes and arrangements of materials. Choose the style that visually complements your figurines and home decor—one may favor darker weathered wood while the other highlights lighter straw and moss tones.

• Two available styles with unique wood and moss arrangements
• Select based on figurine color palette and display lighting
• Both styles share the same size and construction quality
• Good for pairing with vintage or modern Nativity sets

How should I place and care for the creche to keep it looking its best?

Position the stable on a flat, stable surface away from direct heat and moisture to preserve materials. Light dusting and gentle handling will maintain the handcrafted details without damaging the natural accents.

• Display indoors on a level tabletop or mantel
• Avoid exposure to dampness or prolonged sunlight
• Dust with a soft brush; avoid water on moss and hay
• Store in a breathable box when not in use to protect details
