Saint Nicholas of the North Post

Handmade Heirloom Santa Figure | One of a Kind | 18" Tall

From somewhere along the snow-laced trails between forest and chimney smoke, comes Saint Nicolas of the North Post — bearer of handwritten letters, heartfelt parcels, and whispered wishes meant only for Yuletide ears.

Standing 18 inches tall on a stained wooden base, this one-of-a-kind figure carries with him the quiet dignity of old-world Christmases. In one hand, a scarlet cardinal perches gently, a watchful companion from the woodlands. In the other, he holds a stack of parcels tied with string — messages from the hopeful, delivered with care.

He wears a grey wool cloak, trimmed in real rabbit fur and lined with a festive Christmas bird print, the kind one might find in a forgotten Victorian catalogue. His waxed canvas hat shades a face hand-carved from clay and painted by hand, while a Tibetan lambswool beard softens his weather-worn expression. At his feet: deep burgundy-brown leather hand sewn boots.

Each Santa is made with intention, care, and artistry in my Stratford, Ontario studio. A true original — he is not a toy, but a decorative heirloom designed to bring warmth and wonder to your holiday home, year after year, generation after generation.
