An enchanting harmony of color. The S447 chalkware Santa is a luminous example of European-inspired folk art. The coat features a complex, all-over Florentine design, reminiscent of 18th-century Italian tapestries and hand-painted giltwood.
The background is painted in an antique cream with a unique iridescent shimmering quality that creates an ethereal glow as it catches the light. The intricate botanical motifs—stylized tulips, delicate fleur-de-lis, and ornamental hearts—are rendered in a soft palette of coral, garden green, and dusty rose. A gold glaze luster is hand-applied to the design and hat, lending the piece a regal, antique patina.
Product Details: Cast from a rare French Létang fils antique chocolate mold measuring approximately 5 inches, this Masterwork figure is accented with sparkling fine diamond crystals that mimic the look of fresh frost.
Every figure is hand-signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.
