Joseph – Fontanini® 12" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #72911

Strong, steady, and reverent, the Joseph Figure from the Fontanini® 12" Collection beautifully portrays the quiet guardian of the Holy Family. Standing with staff in hand and cloak gently draped over his shoulder, Joseph’s slightly bowed posture reflects humility, devotion, and unwavering faith. His lifelike expression and carefully sculpted features capture both watchfulness and tenderness as he gazes toward the Christ Child.

Expertly crafted in Italy, this 12" scale figure is made of durable polymer and meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans. The flowing layers of his garments are rendered in soft, traditional tones, with sculpted folds that create depth, movement, and remarkable realism. Every detail reflects Fontanini’s century-old commitment to heirloom-quality craftsmanship.

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 small family workshop has grown into a world-renowned creator of exquisite Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece continues to be crafted in a multi-generational, family-guided process that honors both artistry and faith.

Today, House of Fontanini proudly carries this tradition forward, offering retail and e-commerce sales directly to collectors across the country. For over 25 years, we have been a locally owned small business committed to sharing the beauty of Fontanini. From our Minnesota warehouse, we lovingly stand by our mission:

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