Invite the traditional charm of a Victorian holiday into your home with this vintage pair of singing carolers, featuring a delicate lace and stiffened paper texture across an upright, cylindrical silhouette with hand-painted facial details.
Celebrate the season with this soulful pair. Standing at 10 inches in height, these figures are crafted in the classic folk art style often associated with mid-century holiday displays. Each caroler is dressed in flowing white robes accented by oversized, delicate lace collars and matching lace trim at the hem. They are tied with vibrant burgundy satin ribbons at the neck that coordinate with the small songbooks held in their hands.
The hand-painted faces are highly expressive, capturing the singers in mid-song with wonderful detail in their features and hair. These figures are constructed using traditional paper mache techniques, which gives them a lightweight yet sturdy feel and a unique, handcrafted texture that manufactured plastic decor cannot replicate. They are perfect for display on a fireplace mantel, nestled within a greenery centerpiece, or as a focal point in a Victorian-themed holiday scene. This pair makes a meaningful gift for collectors of traditional Christmas decor or those who appreciate the artistry of vintage handmade holiday ephemera.
Details: They measure 10" in height. Good condition, they have some spots and creases.
