The North Pole Estate

Description

Welcome to the center of Christmas myth and magic. This is the majestic residence of Santa Claus himself. This northern estate is where Santa, his family, and personal entourage live and direct the plans for the coming Christmas season. A few of Santa's young helpers can be seen around the castle grounds. A polar bear delights in placing presents about the Christmas Tree. Thomas the Russian Blue cat and a winter snail are part of this scene.

On the opposite side of the grand marbled entrance is a bench with two teddies and a ragdoll that will be sent out on Christmas eve. The little Christmas train is also a toy and can be moved. The little brown owl nicknamed Clockwork loves to survey and report on the festivities. There are two potbelly bears in the forest and one is playing with Stomper, the toddler Abominable snowman. You will also find Pepper the penguin on the balcony and Santa can also be moved to sit there too. One more elusive winter snail is under an evergreen tree to the left side of the grand staircase.

This is my largest Castle ever and is made to my favorite color scheme of red and green with bright red swarovski crystals and silver embellishments. There is an asian influence here too present in the red montage framed windows, central balcony, and tower. There is even a little silver Santa as part of the balcony edging. Hills of snow, sparkling winter mums, and evergreen forests, and snow and glitter on top create a winter wonderland. The back of this piece is completely decorated also and offers Santa magical views to the back of his estate also.

There are small hooks and icy garland strung throughout the roofline. If you prefer this can be removed and actual working miniature lights can be added. You can do this yourself or I can help. There is still plenty of room with this large set to keep adding to your collection. This is approximately a 1/24th scale or 1/2 inch scale. My figures from this years Christmas line are all compatible with this display.

This is a One of a Kind Artist Creation and will not ever be reproduced as seen here. This is sure to be a family Christmas treasure for years to come. This structure is meticulously handmade and designed for lovely 360 degree views. You will find spectacular detail everywhere you look. This has been such a labor of love and I hope you enjoy its enchantment as much as I do. Merry Christmas!

The estate measures 20 inches wide (51 cm) by 12 inches deep (30 cm) by 16 inches high (41 cm).
