Description

Chenille Santa Claus Riding Sled Antique Style Ornament. Made of distressed green chenille with a polymer clay Santa Claus face and antique cotton beard.His hat trim is vintage chenille stem.The sled is wood and is painted with acrylic paint.

Santa couldn't resist taking a run down the hill on this boys' belly sled known as a Clipper.

Approx.2-1/4 inches tall X 2-3/8in.long.

Antique originals of these little guys were tied on Christmas gifts and were also used as decorations on Christmas trees and greenery.They had clay,plaster,papermache,or paper scrap faces.The clay, plaster and papermache faces were painted,then beards of cotton were glued on.

I construct my ornaments from antique,vintage and distressed materials for an aged look.I want them to appear as if they have survived 100 or more Christmases.Because of this,there will be minor imperfections,all of which are desirable because they add warmth and patina to
the ornament.For example:minor creasing,yellowing of cotton batting and chenille,age darkened or slghtly faded crepe paper and scraps,tarnished tinsel,etc.
