Step straight back in time to a classic mid-century Christmas with this stunningly nostalgic Santa tree topper. This is not a reproduction; it is an authentic vintage piece from the 1950s, full of retro charm.
The star of this topper is the bright, molded celluloid Santa face, beaming with the rosy-cheeked, joyful expression that defined the era. His face is surrounded by a magical, cloud-like angel hair beard, which sparkles as it catches the light. This delicate, spun-glass detail is a hallmark of post-war holiday decorations and is often the first thing lost to time, making this piece a special find.
Originally designed to crown the top of a sparkling tinsel tree, this lightweight Santa captures the quintessential spirit of a 1950s holiday.
