Are y’all still there? 👀 I’ve been busy doing mom things, but I’ve got some great christmas stuff I need to post!
We will start with this gorgeous, Franklin Mint Father Christmas statue. I have had to mend the dove’s wings, but you cannot tell unless you are truly inspecting it. I did a good job, I should say so myself lol. I did research on it and most all of them being sold also have damaged or missing dove wings, so he is definitely fragile. Needs to be in a careful place 💕
The Franklin Mint is renowned for producing high-quality collectible figurines, coins, and other decorative items. Founded in 1964, the company has collaborated with numerous artists to create limited edition pieces that appeal to collectors worldwide. Their figurines often depict historical figures, fantasy characters, and seasonal themes with intricate detail and fine craftsmanship.
This particular Father Christmas figurine, designed by Alejandro Lemus, is a representation of a more whimsical and artistic interpretation of Santa Claus, deviating from the traditional red and white. The use of pastel colors, floral motifs, and the inclusion of symbolic elements like doves and cherubs suggest a blend of Victorian aesthetics and holiday cheer, making it a distinctive collectible for Christmas enthusiasts.
It is $45 💖
