Inspired by the tomte and nisse of Scandinavian folklore (the bearded household guardians said to watch over homes through the long winter nights), Santa Fritte brings a little Nordic magic indoors. Here he stands beside a snow-dusted Christmas tree, as if he's just stepped out of a frosty forest.

Look closely and you'll find plenty of detail. Every layered branch of the tree is finely etched and sparkles with a glittering, frost-like finish. Fritte's metallic silver hat catches the light against his charcoal-grey coat and soft, textured white beard, and a button nose peeks out beneath the brim.

He's a charming Christmas ornament for the mantelpiece or a festive table display. He also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves Scandinavian decorations and characterful gnome figurines.
