Burr-tholemew — Simpich Snowman | Heirloom Condition | Signed by the Artist

Let it snow — Burr-tholemew insists!

Meet the merriest weather-watcher ever to wear a top hat. With his twig broom at the ready, pipe puffing contentedly, and a wild tuft of tinsel-silver hair escaping from under his blue-banded hat, Burr-tholemew is a snowman who has seen a few winters — and loved every single one of them. His bright blue scarf is knotted snug, his glittering red mittens are laced with frost, and his grin says it all: the storm can come whenever it pleases. He'll be out here, sweeping the walk and greeting the flakes by name.

Created by David Simpich in 2004, Burr-tholemew was the first of David's whimsical snowmen, sculpted with the same storytelling spirit that animates all of his work. Look closely and the details keep rewarding you — the dappled, sparkling snow texture of his rounded frame, the blue shadows painted into every dimple, the tiny carved pipe, the cheerful red cheeks. Every element is shaped and finished by hand, no two alike, and with the studio's original holiday creations long since concluded, no more are being made.

Produced in very limited numbers, Burr-tholemew has become a highly sought-after collector's piece — a small, joyful chapter from the final years of the Simpich studio. In Heirloom Condition, he stands ready to take up his post on a mantel or shelf and do what he does best: welcome winter with open mittens, and remind everyone who passes that the best storms are the ones that bring joy.
