Ino Schaller Santas

Handcrafted Bavarian Santas made using traditional papier-mâché techniques

Since 1894, Ino Schaller has created handcrafted papier-mâché holiday figures in Bavaria, Germany. Revived by the Schaller family in the 1980s, their glittered Santas continue to be made using traditional nineteenth-century moulds and techniques, preserving a remarkable chapter of European Christmas craftsmanship.

Each Santa is individually painted and finished by hand, creating subtle variations in expression, colour, and detail that make every figure unique. From classic Father Christmas figures carrying toys and gifts to whimsical interpretations inspired by antique holiday decorations, these Santas bring warmth, nostalgia, and old-world charm to festive interiors.

At BON TON goods, we curate Ino Schaller Santas for collectors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, holiday storytelling, and decorations with genuine character. Whether displayed on a mantel, beneath the Christmas tree, or as part of a larger collection of holiday treasures, these handmade figures become cherished parts of seasonal traditions.

Built to be displayed year after year, Ino Schaller Santas embody the enduring appeal of handcrafted holiday objects and the magic of Christmas celebrations passed from one generation to the next.
