Mini Story

A charming miniature Nativity set, beautifully presented in its original red velvet hinged display box. Inside, five finely detailed silver-tone figures form a classic Christmas crèche scene, complemented by a printed nativity backdrop inside the lid. Designed as a keepsake rather than a toy, this type of set was often gifted at Christmas or kept as a small devotional or seasonal display.

Compact, tactile, and full of character — a lovely piece for collectors of religious items or vintage Christmas décor.
