Antique Primitive Santa Claus Doll – Folk Art Christmas Figure

Authentic antique primitive Santa Claus doll, full of early folk art charm and character. This Santa features a wonderfully crackled painted face, wire-frame glasses, a hand-shaped nose, and a thick wool beard and hair. He’s dressed in a red knit sweater with green felt pants and well-worn fabric boots, all showing honest age and patina. Santa is holding a charming toy vignette including a wooden sled, greenery, and a small plush animal, adding to the storytelling quality of the piece. The materials, construction, and wear suggest early to mid-20th century, possibly earlier, and clearly handmade. This is not a modern reproduction; it has the soulful, slightly eerie charm that primitive and Americana collectors love. Details: • Genuine antique / vintage primitive Santa • Handcrafted folk art construction • Original aged paint with craquelure • Wire glasses, wool beard & hair • Rich patina and wear consistent with age • Perfect for primitive, farmhouse, or antique Christmas décor Condition: Good antique condition for its age. Visible wear, fading, and surface cracking consistent with age and display — all part of its authentic character. Please see photos for details.
