Antique Religious Nativity Scene – Gilded Holy Family with Glass Dome – 60 cm - papier-mâché, Glass - 20th Century

Antique Gilded Papier-Mâché Holy Family Under a Glass Dome – Decorative Religious Nativity Scene

Refined religious statuette depicting the Holy Family, made of papier-mâché with an entirely gilded finish. The sculptural composition is rich in detail and highly expressive. The scene shows Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary gathered around the Christ Child, lying in the manger, in keeping with traditional Nativity iconography. Saint Joseph is depicted standing, leaning slightly toward the Child, wearing a long robe and a voluminous cloak with deeply modeled folds. The Virgin Mary, kneeling beside the manger, has her head covered with a veil and wears a serene, contemplative expression. The figure of the Christ Child is particularly finely crafted: He is shown lying on straw, with a halo of rays behind His head. The circular base features raised detailing depicting the ground and straw in the manger, adding to the realism of the composition. The entire surface is covered in a luminous gilded finish that enhances the drapery, facial features, and sculptural details. The statuette comes with a tall, transparent cylindrical glass dome with a rounded top, ideal for protecting and showcasing the piece. An object of great devotional and decorative appeal, perfect for collections of sacred art, classic interiors, private chapels, or as an impressive display piece during the Christmas season.
