Duncan Royale Santa Collection

 My parents were avid collectors and I have shared some of their collections before such as their glass pumpkinsvintage toys and crystals.



 They loved Christmas and their house was a feast for the eyes during the holidays. 


One of their favorites was a Santa collection made by Duncan Royale. Duncan Royale made Santa figurines in the 1980’s and 90’s, but the company is no longer in business. They are exquisitely made with lots of detail. They represent different forms of “gift givers” through the ages and different countries.  Originally the figures cost over $200 a piece.







 







Unfortunately, we lost both Dad and then Mom this year. So now it was time to divide up all of their cherished collections. We are a large blended family of 10 kids and the parents had 12 figurines so we each would get at least one. I discovered that several of us siblings liked the Duncan Royales so much that one was not enough! It's possible to find these collectibles on ebay , etsy or if you are lucky antiquing. 

So several us us have already added to our new collection and are fondly displaying their treasures and remembering our parents and their love of all things Christmas.




Wishing you all a safe, healthy and Merry Christmas!

    2. Do you get them on auction sites or flea markets? These are super cool.
