Boston Common at Twilight (1885-86) by American artist, Childe Hassam (1859-1935)
The soothing effects of dusk on freshly fallen snow are juxtaposed with Boston’s busy streets in the beloved painting by Hassam. This image adorns the coat of this chalkware Santa that was created by Judi Vaillancourt originally for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Handcrafted in Massachusetts using a vintage chocolate mold, each Santa is then decorated using a combination of decoupage and hand painting to create an heirloom-quality keepsake you’re sure to delight in each holiday season.
Vaillancourt is a family owned business located in Sutton, Massachusetts and is best known for their handmade and hand painted chalkware figures. These figures are made using vintage and antique chocolate, candy, and ice cream moulds. The Vaillancourt’s have the largest private collection in the USA and have been creating these heirloom masterpieces meant to be passed down from generation to generation since 1984.
