This beautiful figurine is a must-have for any collector of high-end hand-crafted holiday decor. It features a majestic polar bear carrying Santa and his sack, hand-painted with exquisite details on a wooden base. Measuring approximately 10 inches in length, 8 inches in height, and 3.5 inches in width, this Russian-style Santa figurine is a perfect addition to any collection. Celebrate Christmas or add to your collection with this stunning handmade piece. CREATED IN 2003, THIS PIECE IS #327 OF 1200 MADE AND IS PERSONALLY SIGNED BY ANDRE DEBREKHT. IT IS TITLED "POLAR BEAR SANTA -- SANTA AROUND THE WORLD."This is a beautifully crafted piece of art. It actually comes in two pieces, so you attach Santa and the Bear to the base with three prongs that come out of the bear's foot. The detail on Santa's coat and blanket are phenomenal and the painted scene on the base is just beautiful. A wonderful example of Old World Nostalgia and Whimsey. My parents were big collectors of folk art. They traveled the world buying artwork from Indigenous peoples and cultures. This particular piece was personally signed to them on the base by André DeBrekht himself: "To Pat & George. With Respect André DeBrekht" and the date. And then he also included a little illustrated insignia. So this piece is definitely a pre-loved piece with a lot of history to it. The signature alone should make this a valuable piece to collectors of DeBrekht's unique artwork. The piece was no doubt displayed by my parents a few times during the holidays, but then it was packed up and stored for almost twenty years. I never had room to display it, so it has been sitting in its box looking for a new home. It comes with a Lifetime Breakage Guarantee, which I will included in the box. SHIPPING: The box is a big, awkward size, which means it will have to go in a very big box. The box that Santa comes in will be wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioned inside a bigger box with plenty of packing materials around it to make sure it has a safe journey to your home. Or you can pick it up locally in NJ.Here's a little about G.
