| The
Derevo Collection |
| This
grouping of Santas is a limited edition collection of Russian
designed figures. Each original is designed by the G.
DeBrekht Master Artisans in the studios in the ancient art
villages of Russia. |
| Derevo
is the Russian word for wood, & each piece in the Collection is
first hand carved & hand painted freehand, using authentic
old-world techniques. |
|
Then a mould is made from the wooden carving & a special
wood-based resin material is used to exactly cast replicas of the
original. Each piece is then painstakingly hand
painted freehand, without guidelines or decals. |
| |
| Many of
the figures are based on the traditional Russian folklore that
has inspired artists, writers, & composers for centuries. |
| Each
Santa is hand-numbered & comes in a gift box with a
Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its edition size,
quality, & heritage. |
| |
| The
result of this difficult process is a magnificent collection of
limited edition figures that embody all of the artistic genius
and cultural history of Russian art. |
