Hello Everyone!
I know I have been quite silent for the past couple months as work has been super duper busy (I had to work 60-80 hours a week for the past 3 months.... ).
Anyway, I am super excited to show you a piece I FINALLY got in. It took me almost 6 years to finally obtain the piece since I saw it and to convince the owner to finally let it go. This was my #1 wishlist cel of all time, and it finally arrived! Just in time for the Holidays and a perfect theme for this time of year as well.
1932 Santa's Workshop cel of Santa Clause in his Sleigh with Reindeers flying across the moon with the happy smile on his face! The amazing part about this is the cel and the background are key master set ups. This means the background is original production from the Disney studio, and the cel that is paired is the original cel that matched the sequence to the background. It is incredibly rare to find key master backgrounds from vintage Disney since much of it has either been destroyed or deteriorated with age.
Well, hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!!

Yes, I have to admit, that smiling moon face really makes that whole image. It's rare to see an item where the cel layer and the background layer are so equally detailed and complimentary. That was an item that must have been taken home and cherished by its first owner. (This was well before even Disney cels were considered potentially collectable.) Congratulations: it's great to see a treasure like this find a home in an important and well-maintained collection like yours.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
