Chalkware Santa with Angel

The Artistry

Timeless charm. The S722 chalkware Santa stands 5.25 inches tall and is cast from a rare, highly sought-after Anton Reiche (Dresden, Germany) antique chocolate mold. This piece captures a tender moment as a small baby angel assists a weary Father Christmas with his heavy burden of toys.

Santa is hand-painted in a traditional red coat finished with a richly textured sable fur trim. He leans on a rustic walking staff while carrying a large sack in a beautiful heritage teal—a color that provides a sophisticated contrast to the vibrant red. Peeking out from the sack is a charming doll in a pink dress and a bright yellow toy train, symbolizing the joy of the season.

The small angel, painted with soft, natural tones, is depicted pushing the bottom of the sack to help Santa along his journey. Because this is an Anton Reiche mold, the sculptural details—from the holly leaves at Santa's feet to the gentle expression on the angel's face—are remarkably crisp and clear. This chalkware figure is an heirloom-quality piece that perfectly embodies the spirit of kindness and holiday magic.
