Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The paper mâché and fabric materials are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the hand-painted finish.
The Santa measures 9 inches wide by 7.25 inches deep and stands 15.75 inches tall. It is sized well for a mantel, though you should ensure your shelf depth is at least 8 inches to accommodate the base comfortably.
Because this is a handcrafted item with decorative glitter accents, some minor shedding is normal when handling. We recommend placing it in a stable location where it won't be moved frequently to keep the finish intact.
To clean, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle duster to remove surface dust. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the hand-painted details and delicate fabric elements.
While the base is sturdy, it is a decorative collectible made of paper mâché and should be placed on a flat, stable surface. It is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental tipping or damage.
