Rare Antique German Santa in Moss Covered Sleigh Lead Reindeer Venetian Dew Base

  

Rare Antique German Santa Riding in Moss Covered Sleigh Pulled by 2 Lead Reindeer on a Venetian Dew Covered Wood Base. Base measures 8" long x 2 1/4" wide.

The tiny glass beads covering the base and part of the runners on the sleigh are known as Venetian Dew. The wood sleigh is covered with moss. Santa's beard is a little sparse but he still carries his original feather tree.

All is original with the exception of the bottle brush tree which I added to fill the sleigh in back of Santa, plus the red yarn around the reindeer was added by someone in the past. This exceptional piece is unmarked but there's no question that it is German. This is part of my personal collection that I have decided to part with. Those of you who collect early Christmas, will know how hard it is to find a piece like this.
