Every village needs a good foundation. We re-set the villages in our Littleton store every season, and our customers searched and searched for the pieces that turn a display into a town: a horizon, a path for the villagers, a little water for the skaters. So we made them. These exclusive village set up accessories are designed by St. Nick’s, made in the USA, and sold nowhere else.

Backdrops, Paths, and Water
The Mountain Backdrop sets a frosted range behind the town, 23 inches wide, and the City Backdrop gives your street a skyline; both are acrylic. Cobblestone Path pieces come straight or curved, cut from wood to suit the era of any village. The Water Accessories are blue marble acrylic: straight and curved rivers, plus lakes in four sizes up to nearly 14 inches long.

The Fine Touches That Complete the Scene
A display becomes a Christmas village in the spaces between the buildings. Lay a path to the church door, wind a river past the mill, stand a backdrop behind it all, and the whole table gains depth without a single new building. Made with Department 56 villages in mind, these pieces work under any collectible display that could use a scene.
