🦙 From The Andes has been curating rare finds since 1987, family-run in Taos, New Mexico.
If your holiday décor needs a little charm upgrade, this handmade Peruvian retablo delivers personality in a compact, beautifully crafted package. Built in the Ayacucho tradition, it brings color, culture, and a touch of whimsy to any shelf, mantle, or entry table.
Open the double doors and you’ll find a detailed two-tier scene. The upper level holds a classic Nativity tableau, each figure molded and painted by hand with expressive details. The lower tier features Andean villagers and musicians ready to bring a festive spirit. Every detail carries the small irregularities that only happen when a real artisan creates something by hand.
The exterior panels are painted with bold floral motifs that instantly brighten a space. Because this is a true handmade piece, light surface wear and small paint variations are part of its authentic character, giving it that “collected” feel you won’t get from mass-produced décor.
