Michael Aram Santa by the Fireplace Ornament

There is a moment on Christmas Eve that belongs entirely to the imagination. The Santa by the Fireplace Ornament captures it in goldtone metal with metallic and glittered hand paint, a scene so familiar it feels like memory, Santa at the hearth, the fire warm, the night quiet, the magic entirely real. At 3.75 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall, this ornament carries the full weight of the holiday in a form small enough to hold in one hand. Each piece emerges from hand-sculpted clay, giving it the sculptural depth and handmade warmth that sets Michael Aram's ornament collection apart from anything else on the tree. The glittered hand paint catches the light with the same shimmer as tinsel, the same glow as firelight, the same feeling as childhood. As Michael Aram reflects: "Each ornament is like a little jewel, with its own story and its own connections. Every year, they make their highly anticipated appearance and it feels like they bring a particular magic with them." The Santa by the Fireplace Ornament is that story made tangible, a piece of the season to hang, admire, and return to every year. A joyful gift for collectors, families, or anyone who still believes in the magic that gathers around a fireplace on Christmas Eve. 6"W x 3.75"H Packaged in the Red Box Goldtone, Metallic Hand Paint, Glittered Hand Paint Ornament stand sold separately
