Why You’ll Love It
Tiny, functional, and wonderfully festive, this 1:12 scale sterling silver stocking holder by IGMA Fellow Pete Acquisto turns a familiar Christmas tradition into an extraordinary miniature collectible. A meticulously sculpted Santa Claus pops from a brick-patterned chimney, his hands raised in greeting, and is ready to sit atop a dollhouse mantel. From it extends a slender sterling silver hook designed to hold a miniature Christmas stocking. A playful seasonal piece that feels right at home atop the tiniest Christmas fireplace.
Perfect For
Perfect for a Christmas mantel, traditional holiday parlor, Santa-themed dollhouse, miniature stocking display, collector’s Christmas room box, or collection of artisan sterling silver miniatures. It is especially delightful paired with hand-knit miniature stockings and other heirloom-style Christmas accessories.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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