This item is based on an ancient 19th-century piece. Richly laden with gifts the felt coat dressed Santa Claus floats in a balloon through the festively decorated room. Both the ballon and the basket are made of MAROLIN papier mâché.
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.
