About the Item
Beautiful German Belsnickle / Santa Claus Paper Mâché Christmas Figure – c. Early 1930s
This charming German Belsnickle / Santa Claus figure dates to the early 1930s, likely crafted prior to World War II. Made of paper mâché, it is hand-painted and displays excellent character and detail. The figure features a slightly open hand designed to hold a small sack or festive accessory, allowing for creative holiday display options.
The piece shows scattered wear appropriate to its age, adding to its vintage charm and authentic patina. A wonderful example of original period craftsmanship, it reflects the nostalgic quality for which German Christmas décor is celebrated.
A fantastic addition to any antique holiday collection, and especially appealing to admirers of early Santa figures, Belsnickle forms, and Old World Christmas décor.
