17" Vintage Modern Wooden Santa Artist Model

Vintage hand-crafted articulated wood Santa Clause by Design Ideas for CB2. This was purchased around 2002/2003 from CB2 in Chicago. Articulated Santa comes with a metal stand with wood base, but can stand or sit on its own, depending on how you pose him. He measures about 16” tall from his feet to the top of his hat, and is about an inch taller when fasted to the base. Santa is in very good vintage condition with a few light scuffs and marks here and there, as well as some faint graying of the felt beard. It comes with the original box and tag, both of which are in good vintage condition. "Dancing Santa Santa’s so jolly he’s dancing. This DancingSanta has been lovingly hand-crafted by a single artisan toymaker in the centuries-old tradition of the finest woodworking. Each part of Santa is carefully carved from rubberwood. The wooden joints that put a spring in his step are secured with hidden stainless steel pins. He is topped off with a furry beard and an adjustable felt hat, then finished with a carefully hand-painted suit of clothes and the signature of the master who created him. DancingSanta comes with his own metal display stand, though his fully moveable joints allow him to sit or stand on his own. A belly like a bowl full of jelly won’t slow him down. Let him bring joy to your home." From a smoke-free, pet friendly home.
