This modern nativity set will fit right in if you are creating an all-white Christmas decor scheme. Place the set on a wood mantle or tuck it among your books on a wooden bookshelf.

Highly stylized, this is the most modern of these six nativity sets. Finished in high gloss silver, the set would look its best set on a glass tabletop or a mirrored tray. Expand the collection with three wise men, an angel, a shepherd, a camel, a donkey, and a sheep. Decorate your Christmas dining table with three of these charming vignettes.

Modern Free Standing Nativity Set
Each of the 11 pieces in this modern nativity set is hand-cut and either stained or wash-painted by the artist. The standard color options include shades of brown with a white wash finish or a set with individually colored robes. Custom color finishes are also available.
Designer Advice:
We love how this nativity set is made with separate, free-standing pieces. This lets you arrange the set on different elevations. Place the shepherd with his three sheep on a stack of antique books to mimic the feel of a hillside overlooking the stable where Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the donkey are. Position the three wise men away from the stable as “coming from a far country.”
