Collectible Unicum Lotto: 11 Miniature Elements for Modeling and Nativity Scene – Antique Workshop / Historic Library in 1:12 Scale and Vintage Chapel (Fully Hand-Made - Unique Pieces) Splendid and exclusive collection of 1:12 scale miniatures, ideal for enriching traditional dollhouses, creating a evocative Book Nook, enriching large artistic Nativity scenes, or displaying a diorama with timeless nostalgic charm. The lot recreates the atmosphere of days gone by in an Italian antique workshop or bibliographic studio. Each piece is a unique work of art, entirely handmade with artisanal cabinetry techniques (cutting and shaping solid wood) and enriched by a multitude of micro-books and vintage details patiently created with the recovery collage technique. Details of the 11 elements included in the lot (faithfully drawn from the original cards): 1. Antique Trapezoidal Library “Libreria di Firenze”: Tapered structure to optimize perspective in the diorama, hand-carved molded canopy and a truly openable drawer with knobs housing a miniature book inside. 2. Very Rare Circular Center-Room Display “Insegne Antiche”: A master piece of modeling, built on a solid solid-wood circular base, with four display sides teeming with volumes, 2 triangular drawers that open and two probably missing. (Cm 16x10x10) 3. Corner Module Complete: Base with floor that simulates an ancient hand-engraved terracotta paving, rustic carved chair with shaped hole on the back, table and shelves with vintage graphic details recalling Italian publishing. (Cm 5.5x12x12) 4. Display Cabinet / High Credenza: Classic two-body structure with lower drawers that open and upper glazed doors (fixed). Mounted on a plinth that simulates a wooden plank floor. (Measurements: 10 x 7 x 4.5 cm) 5. Institutional Library Manageritalia: Unique piece topped with a pediment bearing the association’s name, fitted with fake books and an integrated side table with tomes. (Measurements: 9.5 x 6 x 3 cm) 6. Low Study Library: Two-shelf bookcase richly filled with miniature volumes, each covered with colored covers and geometric details, completed by a spherical metal bookmark stop. (Measurements: 5 x 8.5 x 3.5 cm) 7. Round Faux Inlay Table: Elegant table with lacquered top and a finely finished circular mosaic along the edge. (Measurements: Height 5 cm, Diameter 11 cm) 8. Chest with Secret Drawer: Features two lower drawers that open with tiny golden knobs and a third upper compartment hidden entirely under the main surface. (Measurements: 9 x 13 x 6 cm) 9. Rustic Fireplace: Hand-painted with brick effect. Under the base houses a circular plastic cavity with ON/OFF switch originally intended to power a glowing ember effect light (battery not included, operation not tested).

Miniature Church with Stained Glass Windows (Vintage Craft): Enchanting handmade church model with bell tower, bell and snow-topped roofs. Windows are hand-decorated to imitate stained glass. Excellent as a collectible piece, for Christmas villages or large Nativity scenes. (Dimensions: Height 28 cm, Width 19 cm, Depth 17 cm) Condition and State The items are solid, structurally intact and retain the beautiful workshop patina and the rustic/worn style desired by the artisan. They are in good structural and aesthetic condition, with a gorgeous vintage patina. Normal and slight signs of wear due to time are noted: • Specific details: A small chip on the foot of the round table, the upper doors of the display cabinet are fixed and the fireplace’s electrical circuit has not been tested due to absence of a battery. For the church, the decorative arched cornice above one of the side windows is missing (clearly visible in the photo) and the structure does not include a lighting system (the lower cutout/prepared space exists). • Authenticity notes: Being 100% handcrafted (no industrial kit, no laser cutting), any slight asymmetries or irregularities in the wood and papers attest to the genuine handmade nature and the uniqueness of each piece. An unmissable opportunity to acquire a virtually unavailable miniature setting on the market, rich in history, interactivity and personality. All details are visible in the attached photos, which form an integral part of the lot description.
