Vintage Japan Felt Santa Pipe Cleaner Figure MCM Mid Century Christmas

Vintage felt Santa Claus figure in a classic mid-century Christmas décor style. Features a red felt suit with white trim, long pointed hat, wool beard, celluloid face, and raised candle detail. Constructed with felt, fabric, wool, and pipe cleaner armature, a common technique used in mid-century Japanese holiday exports. The flexible internal structure allows for gentle posing and contributes to the characteristic lean often seen in vintage pipe-cleaner figures. Although unmarked, this Santa is likely made in Japan. Materials, construction, and design are consistent with mid-century Japanese Christmas exports. Good vintage condition with expected age-related wear. Note: figure leans slightly backward when standing. Approximate measurements: 10.5" H × 3" W (base). Stored in a pet-friendly, smoke-free boutique and packed with care.
