Santa?…..Gnome?

Santa?…..Gnome?

Jan 25

Here’s another great figural nutcracker I picked up that I gave to my wife for Christmas.

These seem to get classified as a gnome and sometimes as Santa. Since this one was a Christmas gift, it’s a Santa in our house. 🙂

As you can see in the photos, he had some condition issues. The most obvious was a chunk missing from the bottom of his beard. He also had some small chips here and there, but was generally in really good shape.

The restoration went very well and the new finish really shows off the carved details.

Thanks for looking.

Stay tuned, more great pieces are on the way!
