Ramasseur de lavande 9 cm

Creating a Provençal Nativity scene means telling a story. Some collectors like to recreate work scenes: the harvest, the grape picking, or the lavender harvest. For the latter, our lavender gatherer is a key character. She recalls the women who, every summer, gathered by hand the freshly cut stems before they left for the distillery.

This model comes in green, blue, yellow and pink. By combining several colors, you get a varied and natural group of pickers. The pink version, soft and bright, stands out beautifully against a backdrop of purple fields.

At 9 cm, she offers a good level of detail while remaining easy to fit into a family Nativity scene. Her paint is applied with a brush, color after color, then each motif is gone over again for greater precision.

Our workshop has carried on the art of the santon in Aix-en-Provence since 1934, creating a new model every year. Production remains artisanal: regional clay, plaster mold, drying, firing at 960 °C. You can see her at 65 cours Gambetta. When ordered online, she is protected with paper and bubble wrap, then ships within 2 to 3 business days.
