Willow Tree, Shelter for the Holy Family

Giving watch, warmth, protection.

This pierced-metal backdrop was created to complement The Holy Family, a small-scale Nativity that retains all the richness of color, texture and detail of the full-scale Christmas Story. Perfect for those with limited display space, The Holy Family collection is a portrait of complete simplicity. The backdrop can also be used as a beautiful display piece for other figurines.

Each original Willow Tree® sculpture is hand carved by artist Susan Lordi. Using family and friends as models, Susan’s goal is to capture a moment in time or express an intimate feeling. Pieces are cast from her original carvings and individually painted by hand. Softly washed colors, carved and metal accents, and representative icons of nature add depth and sentimentality to this beloved line.
