Santa Takes a Break and Jingle #556/1000 | Simpich Santas

$1,850.00

Condition: Pristine | Limited Edition of 1000 | Two–Piece Set


#556/1000

Santa Takes a Break and Jingle is one of the rarest and most historically significant sets in the entire Simpich Santa Series. Santa Takes a Break was the very first Limited Edition Santa ever produced, with only 1,000 sets created—an extraordinarily small number for a piece released nearly 40 years ago. While the original production was 1,000, the modern population is unknown; what is certain is that far fewer remain today, making surviving sets like this one exceptionally desirable among collectors.

This charming tableau captures a quiet, human moment in Santa’s long Christmas Eve journey. Santa rests on a bench in his suspenders and slippers, pipe in hand, enjoying a well-earned pause. Beside him stands Jingle, his loyal elf, proudly holding a beautifully wrapped present—ever ready for the next round of holiday deliveries.

Designed as a cohesive two–piece set, Santa and Jingle embody the warmth, humor, and artistry that define the earliest Simpich limited editions. Individually, each figure is rare; together, they become an iconic duo cherished for both their storytelling and their place in Simpich history.

Don’t miss the opportunity to bring home this remarkable set—an enduring celebration of festive charm, craftsmanship, and the legacy of the Simpich Santa tradition.
