Ino Schaller Santa

Because each piece is individually hand-painted and shaped using traditional papier-maché moulds, there will be subtle variations in the expression and finish. While the overall design remains consistent, these small differences are a hallmark of the artisan process and ensure your figurine is unique.

Papier-maché is surprisingly lightweight and durable, though it is not as impact-resistant as solid wood or metal. It is designed as a decorative heirloom piece, so it should be handled with care and kept in a stable, dry environment to preserve the integrity of the material.

To maintain the finish, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle dusting brush. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the hand-painted surface and the papier-maché structure.

At 7.09 inches tall, this Santa is designed primarily as a tabletop or mantelpiece decorative object. While it is lightweight, it is not intended to be hung as an ornament on a tree.

Ino Schaller uses historic moulds that have been preserved for over a century. This process honors traditional German craftsmanship, ensuring that the figurine retains the authentic, vintage silhouette and character of pieces made generations ago.
