27" Joseph Nativity Figure

House of Fontanini | Item #53111

Bring reverence and timeless beauty to your display with the 27" Joseph Nativity Figure from the renowned Fontanini® Masterpiece Collection. In this large-scale presentation, Joseph is portrayed with a gentle, reflective presence, holding his staff close as he lovingly watches over the Holy Family.

His flowing garments are hand-painted in soft mauve, warm brown, and ivory tones, with subtle shading that enhances the depth and sculpted folds. The expression on his face conveys quiet strength, protection, and devotion — hallmarks of Joseph’s sacred role in the Nativity story. Each brushstroke and sculpted detail reflects the heirloom-quality craftsmanship that collectors and churches have trusted for generations.

Crafted in Italy from durable marble-based resin, this 27" scale Joseph figure is designed for institutional and large-format Nativity displays. Whether placed in a church sanctuary, school, or outdoor setting, this figure makes a powerful visual statement of faith.

A Legacy of Italian Craftsmanship

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 workshop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the family business grew into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines.

Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled Italian artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process. Today, House of Fontanini continues that tradition by providing direct retail and e-commerce access to collectors and churches across the country.

For over 25 years, we have proudly operated as a locally owned Minnesota small business that doesn’t just sell Fontanini — we love it. From our Minnesota warehouse, we live by our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
