Stunning. Remarkable. Distinctive. Classic. The word duomo derives from the Latin word domus, meaning “house”, as a cathedral is the “house of God”, or domus Dei. This one of a kind all wood nativity ‘houses’ the Holy Family in an intimate, glowing setting, under a soaring dome and nestled in a grove of handmade palm trees. We have adapted this all-wood piece from Architectural Models to represent the influence of the church and expressions of faith during the Christmas season. Intricate Architectural Models are created in cherry and birch wood, beautifully finished in subtle shades of light and dark honey and incorporate sinuous curves and arches. All pieces are resplendent with a distressed French finish.
Note the angelic cherubs circling the very top of the cupola. And peer into the dome to see the amazing detail inside.
