Magistrate 6 cm

Santons have always portrayed the people of their time and their trades. Alongside the miller or the knife grinder of yesteryear, our collection also welcomes figures of today. The male Magistrate belongs to this series of contemporary santons devoted to the world of justice, with the female Magistrate, the Lawyer and the female Lawyer.

This small figure in his robe evokes the courtroom, the courthouse and a sense of public service. It is an original gift to mark an appointment, taking up office, passing the judiciary entrance exam or a retirement. Set on a desk, a bookcase or a shelf, it becomes a lasting keepsake.

At 6 cm, it stays discreet and easy to display. Yet it is made exactly like our traditional santons: model hand-sculpted in our workshop, molding in a very fine regional clay, retouching by hand, slow drying, firing at 960 °C, then matte paint applied with a brush.

Our family has been making santons since 1934 in Aix-en-Provence, a city with a court of appeal and a long legal tradition. You can see our contemporary santons at our shop at 65 cours Gambetta. Online, the Magistrate is individually wrapped in paper and then bubble wrap and ships within 2 to 3 business days.
