Rochard Santa Sleigh and Reindeer Limoges Box

Santa sets off in his sleigh, pulled by his reindeer, on this classic Christmas Limoges box from Rochard. It was made in porcelain and painted by hand in Limoges, France, and the scene is easy to recognize from across the room.

Dash Away All

No image says Christmas Eve quite like Santa in his sleigh, the reindeer leading the way across the night sky. It is the moment every family waits for, and this piece captures it in a form that comes out year after year. The sleigh and the team together give it a sense of motion and excitement.

The Night Before Christmas

Put it on the mantel on Christmas Eve next to the cookies and milk, or let it lead a holiday village across a sideboard. It also looks charming tucked under the tree among wrapped presents. It makes a warm present for a grandparent who loves to recreate the magic of Christmas morning, or a host who decorates every corner of the house. As traditional holiday pieces go, this one belongs at the heart of any Santa collection.
