A well thought-out mix of different styles can give your crib that certain something and blend in harmoniously with the room in which it is to be set up.
In our online store you will find nativity figures between 5 and 85 cm high. The size in centimeters always refers to the figure of Josephs. All other figures of a certain size are shown in the right proportion to Joseph. The respective centimeter specification, for example 12 cm, does not mean the exact height of the individual crib figure, but tells you that the figure fits the series in 12 cm.

In order for the crib to be shown to its best advantage, you should choose a suitable place in your home. It is best if you take this into account when choosing the size of the crib: the larger the available space, the more impressive the nativity scene can be.
