Jay Strongwater Holy Family

Our Gilded Nativity—a new introduction for us—began by sculpting each figurine’s fluid draping in clay, followed by forging in solid pewter with a heightened focus on engraved textures and finely detailed, raised decorations. Artisans individually polish each Holy Family figurine before burnishing with two metal patinas: first, antiqued silver for select lustre highlights, and then the final gilding in antiqued 18K gold—a challenging process for our master craftsmen in Rhode Island.

• Materials: Cast pewter with an 18K gold and light brown antique finish with high-polishedareas and silver-tone highlights. Handcrafted in New York and Rhode Island.
  
  
• Dimensions: Mary: 3.75" W 4.25" H 3.75" D; Baby Jesus: 2.25" W 1.5" H 3.25" D; Joseph:3.75" W 5.5" H 3.75" D
