Hand Crafted Chalkware Santa with Cape and Cardinal
S622 — 5 3/4 inches tall
Version #2: Alternate Trim Design
|
The Artistry:
This Belsnickle is a study in winter contrast. The deep red of the Northern Cardinal—a symbol of hope and vitality in the dead of winter—stands out beautifully against the Santa's elegantly draped cape. The intricate flowing vines and botanical details are hand-painted with a fine brush, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Of Special Note:
Cast from a rare antique chocolate mold, this piece features the iconic Belsnickle form with a unique textured cape. We are showing two versions of this design: one with traditional vine-work and a second version featuring an alternate trim pattern. Both are aged with our signature vintage patina and are signed, numbered, and dated.
