$80.00 Choice Folk Art Santa
I purchased these Santa figures years ago – they are absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t resist!
They were hand-painted by a very talented painter and are creatively made from re-purposed pieces of wood. These may be Russian Santas – I have been unable to find any information about them but they do have many characteristics of Russian hand-painted Santas.
The blue Santa appears to be driftwood while the white Santa has a groove on one edge so I surmise that he was actually a piece of tongue and groove!
Blue Santa measures 11 1/4” tall (at tallest), and 2 3/4” wide (at widest). He does not have an attached wooden base because his width makes him free standing.
White Santa measures 10 3/4” tall and 1/2"” wide (which is why he has an attached wooden base for stabilization). The base measures 5 1/2” x 2 1/2” x 1/2” and is a beautiful piece of wood (looks like pecan).
Both pieces are signed and dated on bottoms: E. & L. S. 1991. The original price tags/stickers of $25 are also on the bottoms.
Beautiful pieces of folk art – you’ll love them!
