In a remote alpine meadow there is a workshop where the gifted artisans of ANRI woodcarvers sculpt heavenly creations. ANRI is a family firm that has preserved the ancient art of woodcarving to produce the world's finest hand carved nativities. St. Patrick's Guild is proud to offer such a fine collection of Christian Art.

The artists of ANRI have designed hand crafted nativities that are unique works of art. Every ANRI figure is a meticulously hand carved sculpture, lovingly fashioned from a single block of alpine maple. Each carving is decorated by artisans who brush on the finest hand mixed oil paints and apply the purest gold and silver leaf. Throughout the artistic process, the techniques used are those that have passed from generation to generation.

Ulrich Bernardi was born in the Groden Valley not far from the ANRI workshop. Following his studies at the Academy of Arts in Ortisen, Bernardi returned to this peaceful valley to devote his life to design and sculpting.

A quiet man, Bernardi is recognized as a master woodcarver for this beautiful religious sculpture and elaborate nativity scenes. This Bernardi Wood carved Nativity features figures in the 6 inch scale. 15 pieces total as well as a stable.
