Grandmama and Grandpapa - Carollers

$1,500.00

Condition: Pristine | Sold as a pair

Grandpapa and Grandmama are out for the last of their Christmas shopping, arms full of gifts for the grandchildren.

Grandpapa is dressed for the occasion: black top hat, red waistcoat with a gold watch chain, gold cufflinks, a black satin cravat and a red plaid scarf. He carries his gold-topped cane in one hand and a foil-wrapped box in the other, and his eyes are crinkled shut mid-smile.

Grandmama wears a blue wool dress trimmed in black lace, a black shawl, and a bonnet tied with red ribbon. A painted rose brooch sits at her lace collar, and her lace-cuffed mittens are full of packages: holly paper, a red polka-dot box, and green and red bows.

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

Every Caroller set needs someone bringing the presents.
