RUSSIAN SANTA CLAUS withRED & GREEN FLORAL CLOAK #2985 HAND PAINTED WOODEN STATUE
This amazing hand carved Russian Santa Claus is hand painted by the artist to enhance details in the face, costume, and beard. Santa's cloak is beautifully hand painted with a gorgeous floral pattern in reds, greens, and golds with white and gold highlights. Santa is holding a lovely walking staff in his hand and his stuffed toy pack is sitting by his side. SEE CLOSE UP PICTURES OF THE FLOWERS AND THE LOVELY EXPRESSION ON SANTA'S FACE! This Santa is painted with a unique style called Abramtsova.
This technique is extremely rare and time consuming. It requires the artist to paint a layer of clear frosted paint then quickly removing a portion of the paint before it is dry. This creates a frost layering over the previous layer of paint giving an iridescent look. Currently, Natasha, the artist who painted these Statuettes, is the only artist we know of using the Abramtsova technique.
This Santa is lightly lacquered so it is easily cleaned and protected. The solid linden wood is dried for almost 2 years before it is carved so it will last a lifetime.
Linden wood was once used to make drafting boards because it is so stable once properly dried. It does not warp, change shape, or crack and these artistic pieces will bring enjoyment for a lifetime! Please Note: These are not molded or mass produced as are some molded resin Santas from China. This Santa (or Grandfather Frost as he is called in Russia) is made in Sergei Posad, Russia and is signed by the artist.This Santa measures just under 11 inches tall by 6.25 inches wide.
