King Balthazar – 20" Scale Masterpiece Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53416

Bring regal beauty and reverence to your large-scale Nativity display with King Balthazar, part of the renowned Fontanini® 20" Scale Masterpiece Collection. This magnificent figure portrays one of the Three Wise Men in a humble, kneeling pose as he presents his treasured gift.

Dressed in flowing robes of rose and teal with a regal white mantle draped over his shoulders, King Balthazar holds a gold-tone vessel in offering. His noble expression and dignified posture beautifully capture the reverence, devotion, and majesty of his journey to Bethlehem. Designed to command attention, this impressive figure becomes a centerpiece within any 20-inch scale Nativity scene.

Crafted in Italy from marble-based resin and meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, each piece reflects over a century of Fontanini family tradition. The attention to sculpted detail, color richness, and lifelike expression exemplifies the heirloom quality collectors expect from Fontanini.

The Fontanini Tradition

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop, establishing a family business that has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines.

Each figure is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted through a multi-generational, family-guided process using durable polymer and marble-based resin materials designed for longevity and display excellence.

Today, House of Fontanini.com proudly carries on that tradition through direct retail and e-commerce sales. For over 25 years, we have been a locally owned Minnesota small business that not only sells Fontanini — but truly loves it. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains:

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