A tall corner of an Italian hill town, handmade in Italy. Torre del Borgo ("the village tower") is a traditional Neapolitan presepe of village houses, built to stand on its own or to set the scene around your own Nativity figures. A pale grey house with a white-brick arched doorway and a railed balcony sits beneath a tall ochre tower with a red arched door, while a cream cottage with a terracotta roof nestles below. Cork stairways with wooden handrails wind between them, down to a stone-paved courtyard.
Switch it on and small warm lights glow at the rooftops, doorways and the archway beneath the balcony, giving the village a gentle evening glow. Every wall, stair and tuft of moss is shaped by hand from natural cork, wood, moss and paper.
A collector's piece. With only 6 available, this is a characterful piece to treasure and bring out Christmas after Christmas.
