Resurrecting LeFever Chalkware Santas
In the late 1980's Brigitte LeFever started creating chalkware under the instruction of her mother, Christine LeFever for her business entitled The LeFever Limner. Eventually Christine moved onto the reproduction of period dolls and other whimsical artwork. Brigitte continued the chalkware business on her own until ultimately she was unable to balance her artwork with a full time job and a busy family schedule. She started doing artwork again in 2009 and opened an Etsy store. In 2012 she resurrected some of the LeFever Limner line of chalkware Santas with a new twist and in 2013 has added many new Santas to her line. Her goal is to make her chalkware look like antiques. "I want people to pick it up and think they have found an actual late eighteenth century, early nineteenth century piece of chalkware, then turn it over and and see the date on the bottom and be impressed." Each piece is signed by the artist, numbered, dated and make wonderful collectibles.
