The history of dressed Santons can be traced back to the Italian nativity scenes of the 18th century. They were not produced in series until the early 19th century. It was only in the middle of the 20th century that dressed Santons were produced in series in sizes ranging from 6 to 12 inches and made available to the general public. They quickly became items sought after by collectors. Santons are collected for their beauty as well as their representation of a time gone by.
Much research is done to ensure that they are historically accurate.
Through them, we truly can discover the beauty and history of a time gone by in that magical corner of France which is Provence. Our furniture is hand-tailored, and the vast majority of the work that goes into our furniture is done by hand. The frames are constructed from kiln-dried dimension stock, with larger than standard frames for durability. Only the finest grades of foam and fibers are used, and absolutely no shredded scrap polyfoam. We use heavy duty, solid wood screw-in legs for longer life.
