Vintage Silvestri Santa Tree Topper: Folk Art Woodland Father Christmas Figure

Vintage Silvestri Woodland Santa Tree Topper. Measures 16.5" in height. He has a plug in the back that would attach to a light strand to light the lights on his head. This feature is untested and not guaranteeed. Very good condition.

Elevate your holiday decor with this stunning vintage Santa tree topper by Silvestri, a brand renowned for its distinctive and high-quality Christmas figures. This piece embodies a wonderful folk art, woodland aesthetic, portraying Santa as a rustic Father Christmas or Belsnickel figure. Crafted with incredible attention to detail, this Santa features a character-rich face, a beard made of wood-like shavings, and a crown-like wreath of grapevine on his head.

His layered red and plaid outfit is accented with natural raffia or straw on the sleeves. He comes bearing charming woodland accessories: a bundle of twigs, a tiny squirrel perched on his shoulder, and a miniature birdcage-style lantern.

This large and impressive figure is designed to be a show-stopping tree topper, but it also serves beautifully as a standalone centerpiece for a dining table or entryway console. It is an exceptional gift for a dedicated collector of Silvestri Santas or anyone who appreciates the unique beauty of folk art-inspired holiday decor.

This item is vintage, approximately 30 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
