Les Ateliers Marcel Carbonel has created small santons figurines since 1935. All the characters and buildings are made of clay and painted by hand. Each subject is unique, the fruit of handcrafted artisanal work. This Provençal tradition illustrates the nativity of Jesus and the inhabitants of a typical french village. Each piece is signed Marcel Carbonel or MC on the small figurines.
The size references for each number correspond to the height of an upright adult character (ex: Bartoumieu no. 2 = 7 cm). The other subjects (animals, children, accessories) are proportional.
The numbers on the houses and the accessories correspond to the number of the santons. Certain accessories are adapted and sized according to the backgrounds (ex: mills, villages, ect.).
