The Best of Antiques
and Collecting
What are you looking for?
Santa’s image is associated with a broad range of antiques and collectibles, from dolls and figurines to snowglobes, dinnerware, ornaments, assorted paper and even Coca-Cola items (the company featured Santa prominently in its ads in the 1930s and beyond). Companies like Waterford and Woolco mass-produced Santa figurines for decades. And many other Santa antiques are unique works of folk art, having been hand-crafted from paper mache and other materials.
Christmas antiques and collectibles abound, ranging from hand-crafted folk items to modern limited-edition works. Whether thematic (Santa, nutcrackers, reindeer, elves) or functional (trees, ornaments, lights, bells, records), they usually evoke the warmth and cheer of holidays celebrated the old-fashioned way.
