King Melchior – 27" Masterpiece Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53114

Regal, reverent, and rich in symbolism, King Melchior from the Fontanini® 27" Masterpiece Collection brings grandeur and meaning to your Italian Nativity display. Portrayed as one of the Three Wise Men, Melchior presents his gift of gold — a symbol of kingship and honor for the newborn Christ — with quiet dignity and devotion.

Expertly crafted in Italy, this 27" scale figure is meticulously sculpted in marble-based resin and hand-painted by skilled artisans. His flowing robes, layered in rich crimson, gold, emerald, and soft ivory tones, reflect the depth and movement characteristic of traditional Italian Nativity artistry. Intricate detailing in his crown, beard, fur-trimmed garments, and treasure chest create a refined and timeless presence suitable for churches, institutions, or grand home displays.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. What began as a humble family workshop has grown into a world-renowned legacy of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece continues to be molded and hand-painted in a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Here at House of Fontanini, we proudly carry on that tradition. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has been dedicated to sharing these meaningful works of art with collectors, churches, and families across the country. Our mission remains simple:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
