A donkey is drawing Santas cart through the wintry night. The handcrafted cart is decorated with a garland of goose feathers and a brass bell from the 1930s. Sitting on the cart Santa is wearing a felt jacket with a bright embellishment beard and hair are made of sheep wool. His right hand carries a goose feather twig in the left hand he holds a whip. The cart is filled with a sack full of presents and a big packet.
Founded in 1900, Richard Mahr of Steinach, Germany created the finely detailed papier-mâché figurines that have since become internationally known and collected. Marolin figurines are hand composed using a combination of kaolin, chalk, paper fibers, organic paste, and clay before being hand poured and painted. These figurines, not unlike Vaillancourt’s Chalkware, are known for their artistic quality and detail.
