Large Swedish Santa Figure (90 cm) — 1950s Handcrafted Jultomte

A magnificent large-scale Swedish Santa figure from the 1950s, standing an impressive 90 cm tall. This handcrafted jultomte embodies the warmth, craftsmanship, and rustic storytelling of mid-century Scandinavian Christmas traditions.

Made in Sweden, this Santa features a richly textured red coat trimmed with faux fur, classic felt details, and a rope belt tied in the traditional Nordic way. His expressive hand-painted face, long white beard, and soft sculpted boots echo the iconic look of the Swedish gårdstomte — the farm guardian spirit who evolved into the beloved Christmas gift-giver.

He carries a festive evergreen staff adorned with bells, and a full sack overflowing with ’50s-era holiday greenery and ornaments. This large format was often used in Swedish shops (butiker), windows (skyltfönster), and holiday displays throughout the 1950s–60s to welcome visitors with a sense of abundance and cheer.

Whether positioned beside a Christmas tree, in an entryway, or as a statement piece in a holiday vignette, this vintage Santa brings undeniable Nordic nostalgia. He is equal parts decorative sculpture, historical artifact, and pure Christmas magic.

A rare size, beautifully preserved — and a true heirloom of Scandinavian jul traditions.
