Cat (white)

The cat has accompanied humankind for millennia. Revered in ancient Egypt, he spread all around the Mediterranean by following ships and granaries. In Provence, he found his place in every home, from the bastides to the humblest cabanons, and he is one of those familiar silhouettes that santon makers love to portray.

At 9 cm, our family size, the seated white cat reveals precise modeling: his posture and the carriage of his head read clearly. White, more delicate than it seems, is hand-painted in several layers to keep relief. Set him on the doorstep of a house or near a farmer's wife.

Like our whole collection, he is made in our Aix-en-Provence workshop. The model is sculpted by hand by a member of the family, then reproduced using a plaster master mold and working molds. Slow drying, firing at 960 °C and matte paint complete the work.

You can see our cats in our shop at 65 cours Gambetta. Ordered online, your santon is wrapped individually in paper and then bubble wrap, and ships within 2 to 3 business days.
