"Dear Santa" | Simpich Santas Limitied Edition #15/1000

$1,979.00

Sold Out

Condition: Pristine | Limited Edition of 1,000 | Introduced in 1999

This Dear Santa is #15 of the 1,000 numbered pieces in the edition, hand-numbered on his base along with the 1999 date. (Artist proofs made while the design was being developed were left unnumbered, so the numbering begins with the finished edition.) Of all the Simpich Santas, he is the one that captures the classic Santa style, and he carries the tradition of letters to Santa right along with him. From his black boots and wooden stand to his white beard and Elizabeth’s letter, he is in pristine condition.

The letter is the heart of this piece. Santa has paused to read a note pulled from his mailbag, and that note was written by my sister, Elizabeth. More letters peek out of the black “Mail – North Pole” bag on his shoulder, waiting their turn.

He wears red velvet trimmed in white fur, small round spectacles and a bell at the tip of his cap.

Sculpted by my grandfather, Robert Simpich, then cast, hand-painted and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich Doll Shop in Colorado Springs.

For any family that still writes letters to Santa, he belongs by the tree.
