Know before you buy
The beard is made from authentic sheepskin, which gives it a natural texture and appearance that synthetic materials cannot replicate.
No, this figurine is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture or direct sunlight may damage the natural wood and sheepskin materials.
Because each piece is handcrafted in Sweden, there will be slight variations in the shape and texture of the sheepskin beard and wood finish. This ensures that every Tomte is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
We recommend gently shaking the figurine or using a soft, dry brush to remove dust from the sheepskin. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the natural fibers.
No assembly is required. The Tomte is designed as a standing figurine with a stable base, allowing it to sit securely on any flat surface like a mantel, shelf, or tabletop.
