Seiffener Volkskunst Schalling Nativity Scene – Arch

This Wooden Arch is the final touch that brings your Schalling Nativity Scene together in a beautifully unified display. Crafted from natural alder wood—a slightly deeper tone than the lighter woods used for the figures—it gently frames the Holy Family, Wise Men, animals, and accessories with quiet elegance. The arch stands freely and measures 32.5 x 17 x 4 cm. It adds structure, focus, and a sense of reverence to the entire scene. It’s a subtle yet powerful element that turns your collection into a cohesive holiday centerpiece.

Nativity Scenes are cherished not only for the story they tell but for the peaceful, grounded beauty they bring to Christmas decorating. This arch is especially suited for small to medium scenes like the 12 cm Schalling series. Use it as a backdrop on a shelf, sideboard, or mantel to draw the eye and create a warm, intentional focal point. Whether you’re completing your collection or starting to build one, now is the perfect time to see what other finely crafted figures and accessories are available.
