Maestro | Simpich Carollers

$1,200.00

The Maestro | Pristine Condition | Base dated 2000

Both hands are up, one finger lifted on each. The choir is waiting on him.

The Maestro leads the Simpich Carolers, and Robert Simpich sculpted him in the half-second before the music starts. His mouth is open, his eyebrows are raised, and his blue eyes are fixed on the singers. He doesn’t have a baton. His hands do the conducting.

Look closely at those hands. The gray fingerless gloves are part of the sculpture, with the knit texture pressed right into them, and his bare fingertips are painted pink with the cold. Everything else he wears is hand-sewn from real fabric: a long gray cape, a deep red coat with small metal buttons, charcoal trousers, and a twisted green-and-burgundy cord with tassels to hold the cape at his collar. A black hat tops it off.

Robert Simpich, who founded the doll shop with his wife, Jan, sculpted the original. This piece was then cast, hand-painted, and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich Doll Shop. His wooden base is stamped with the shop’s mark from 2413 West Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs and dated 2000.

He is in pristine condition. The cape is unfaded, the red coat is bright, and both tassels are intact.
