Antique Handmade Cotton Santa Claus and Paper Mâché Sleigh and Cotton Reindeer

  

This is a RARE set!!! Santa Claus and paper Mâché sleigh with papier-mâché or cotton reindeer! Please see photos of the reindeer. There is string showing on the tummies, which draws me to the conclusion.. These are actually cotton reindeer!

Handcrafted with care, this handmade set is perfect for collectors of all kinds. The gold glitter and mica add a touch of sparkle to the sleigh and reindeer, making it a great addition to any holiday display. Whether you're looking for a special gift for a loved one or just want to add something special to your own collection, this antique and handmade cotton Santa and paper mâché sleigh and reindeer made of papier-mâché or cotton is sure to delight. They do serve as description for this set.

The first reindeer has had his antler repaired or replaced. It does not look bad nor does it stand out. The repair looks to be good. Again, please study over Photos. Santa Claus helps to add to the wondrous papier-mâché sleigh and reindeer made from papier-mâché or cotton.

His left arm is a little worn. The sash attached to the pocket or bag is faded. Santa has a porcelain or bisque face with great detail, of which dates him back to 1850 to 1870. His beard and mustache are cotton. The trim on his robe is cotton white.

His black leather belt is with splotches of what looks to be white paint around the belt. Santa's body under his robe is cotton and is in RED. Santa Claus has original hanging string at tip of hat and Red in color. His mustache is A HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE and is very bushy and long, almost to the point of reaching the bottom of Santa's Beard! Santa's face is porcelain or bisque with wonderful details. The reindeer, if you look at the underneath at the tummies, you will see string which draws me to the conclusion that the reindeer are made from cotton, but you need to be the judge. If the reindeer are cotton, that would bring the sleigh and reindeer to the same era as Santa Claus, to the 1800s.

They should help to determine what they are made of. 14 day return only if damage during transit but not with buyers remorse. I do make goose feather trees of all colors and many heights. The sapling goose feather trees are very popular right now.

Many colors to choose from. Thank you for your patronage.
