Why You’ll Love It
This wonderfully characterful one-of-a-kind 1:12 scale Santa by IGMA Artisan Julie Campbell captures Father Christmas in a quiet workshop moment, finishing a few last handmade gifts. Permanently seated, Santa wears bright red trousers, a textured white shirt with beautifully detailed suspenders, black leather boots, wire spectacles, and a soft mohair beard. In his hands is a tiny wooden Nativity toy, while the accompanying side table holds a few attached items including a miniature carved reindeer, paint pot, brushes, and paint tubes creating a complete little story of Santa as artisan and toymaker. Also included is the wooden chair he is shown sitting on.
Perfect For
Perfect for a Christmas workshop, Santa’s cottage, traditional holiday room box, nostalgic toy-making scene, collector’s Christmas display, or collection of Julie Campbell character dolls. The separate chair and detailed worktable make it especially easy to build a rich vignette around him.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
