Elevate your holiday decor with this stunning Vintage Silvestri Woodland Santa Tree Topper, a brand renowned for its distinctive and high-quality Christmas figures. This large and impressive piece embodies a folk art, woodland aesthetic, portraying Santa as a rustic Father Christmas or Belsnickel figure. It is expertly crafted with natural materials, featuring a character-rich hand-painted resin face and a crown-like wreath of grapevine adorned with holly and berries on his head.
Santa is dressed in a red hooded cotton coat over a plaid paper mâché robe, accented with a woven shoulder bag and natural raffia on the sleeves. He comes bearing charming woodland accessories, including a bundle of twigs, a miniature birdcage-style lantern, and a tiny squirrel perched on his shoulder. While designed to be a show-stopping tree topper, this piece also serves beautifully as a standalone centerpiece for a mantel or console. The back features a plug meant to attach to a light strand to illuminate the head feature; however, this function is untested and not guaranteed.
This item is vintage, over 35 years old, with many similar woodland models dating back to 1987. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
