S449 Heritage Chalkware Santa with Tree

The Artistry

Timeless colonial charm. The S449 is a classic Santa-with-tree design with an early American, primitive collector feel—scaled at 7.25 inches and cast from a rare antique German chocolate mold. The coat is painted in a hand-mixed heritage antique green shade with an intentionally time-worn finish.

A weathered antique-white hat is trimmed with feather-tree greenery and bright red berries, capturing a primitive appeal collectors love. The base is finished with an alternating feather-tree and fleur-de-lis border—a traditional motif that gives the piece a measured folk-art rhythm and a quiet, grounded presence on a mantel or cupboard shelf.

The surface is completed with Diamond Frost glass glitter, catching lamplight and candlelight with a soft, antique sparkle—more “old Christmas” than modern shimmer.

Product Details: Bittersweet House Folk Art captures the character and warmth of the German folk art tradition of chalkware. Each piece is individually hand-cast from an antique chocolate mold and meticulously hand-painted.

Every figure is hand-signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom: Bittersweet House Folk Art, Kathryn Campbell.

Styling ideas: Pair with redware, salt-glaze, and pantry boxes; add a small feather-tree sprig or a bundle of dried bittersweet at the base; or set against a matte-white cupboard interior for a high-end “primitive in a museum” look.
