Nativity Stable Scene Rochard Limoges Box

The nativity unfolds inside a humble stable, with the Holy Family sheltered beneath its roof on the first Christmas night. Rochard made the whole scene as a single hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France.

No Room at the Inn

The stable is the setting everyone knows from the Gospel of Luke, where a manger became a cradle. Gathering the scene into one piece makes it easy to display even where there is no room for a full creche. The painters bring out the figures and the wooden stable by hand, so each box has its own soft variations.

A Quiet Corner for Christmas

Set it on a bedside table, a small entry shelf, a desk at church, or among the candles on a mantel. It makes a meaningful present for a pastor, a choir director, a godchild's family or a friend in a nursing home who misses decorating. It also suits an Advent wreath table or a Christmas Eve candlelight service.
