Description from the seller
Large Nativity Scene with Star – Wood Carving with Gold Leaf – Bernardi, Val Gardena, Italy – Second Half of the 20th Century
Professionally shipped – more than 1,000 five-star reviews worldwide.
A large, richly detailed Nativity scene by Bernardi of Val Gardena (South Tyrol, Italy), carved from wood, with hand-painted polychrome decoration and gold-leaf gilding.
The scene depicts Joseph holding a lantern and shepherd’s staff, Mary with folded hands beside the Baby Jesus in the manger, a kneeling shepherd boy playing the flute, and a lamb. Rising above the group is a large, curved shooting star, its rays finished in gold leaf.
The figures are finely carved, with particular attention to the faces, hands, hair, and folds of the garments. The gilded details create a beautiful contrast with the warm polychrome decoration.
The Nativity scene rests on an integrated wooden base bearing the original Bernardi Wood-Art metal mark.
Total height including the star: 60 cm.
Height of Joseph: 46 cm.
Good condition, with minor signs of use. Signed with the original Bernardi Wood-Art mark on the underside.
The photographs form an integral part of the description. Shipped with track and trace.
