FONTANINI ~1960s 12 Inch Scale Nativity Collection Set Hand Painted Italy
SOLD $990.00 Sold: Nov 14, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
eBay Charming collection of vintage Fontanini 12” scale nativity characters. Hand painted composition type material, after the switch from papier-mâché, dating these to around the mid-20th Century. First offering as a set but after sufficient time and reasonable offers to for individual pieces, I may be willing to break up the collection. Conditon: One of the wise men has suffered a crack. The piece can be glued back together with little noticeable difference or you can take it to a repair person that will glue it back together and paint it to look as new. Leaving this one as-is for the buyer to decide. The ass has also suffered some damage. Apparently the head came off at one point and has been glued back on, with a piece missing out of one side. It’s the back side so it’s not very noticeable when displayed. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
