With extraordinary hand painting and detail, this cozy house Limoges box is all decked out to welcome Santa with wreaths, garland, and lights. The jolly man in red has arrived and is poised at the chimney for his descent. Open the box for a surprise and you will find the interior of the house in bas relief, painted to depict the fireplace and Christmas tree on the right, and a couple awaiting Santa on the left. They appear to be right out of the Night Before Christmas poem -- "
with ma in her kerchief and me in my cap."
