The Father Christmas of Christmases Past.

Charmed House Interiors · Tabletop

This is Santa as the Victorians imagined him — and all the more charming for it. Our Father Christmas bust sits on a gilded plinth in a holly-trimmed top hat and round wire spectacles, his magnificent white beard tumbling over a deep red coat and green waistcoat. The antiqued, gold-flecked finish gives him the air of a treasured heirloom unpacked each December, while the twinkle in his expression is pure old-fashioned cheer. Genuinely lovely up close, with a face full of warmth.

He's the heritage centrepiece for the home that loves a traditional, storybook Christmas.

The Father Christmas you'll want to bring out every single year.

Two Ways to Style It

On the mantel, front and centre. Surround him with greenery and candlelight so his holly-trimmed hat crowns the display.

On the entry console. Set him by the door to welcome guests with a proper, old-world Christmas greeting.
