Why You'll Love It
This cheerful companion to his fellow elves, this toothy-grinned elf features bright green eyes, a mop of blonde hair, and a wide, open smile full of festive mischief. He wears painted red-and-white striped stockings, brown shoes, green shorts, and a red-and-white gingham top — he seems to be full of energy and perfect for scenes of Christmas joy. He is a hand-sculpted Christmas elf by artist Cynthia Baron. Entirely hand-painted and hand-sculpted in metal with delicate fabric costuming, this little folk-art treasure has a nostalgic charm that belongs beside a miniature Christmas tree, in Santa’s workshop, or building toys in a workshop. Permanently seated, he’s the perfect companion for any holiday vignette that celebrates warmth and whimsy.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
