The Crèche is a 17″h x 20″w x 11.5d three-piece assembly, designed for the Willow Tree Nativity collection, made of wood, hand-painted, and featuring an antiqued blue-gray finish. It consists of a backdrop and base with a center vertical portion, cross beams, and rusted nail marks, and can be folded flat for storage. The Willow Tree Nativity, including the Crèche, has been cherished since its introduction in 2000, known for its enduring simplicity and timeless classic form. It is often chosen as a Christmas or wedding gift, and has become a beloved family tradition, packaged in a fitted box for convenient gift-giving. The Crèche is the creation of artist Susan Lordi, designed and painted by hand from her studio in Kansas City, MO, based on her original prototype. It is designed for easy display on a shelf, table, or mantel, and can be cleaned by dusting with a soft brush or cloth.
