The Museum Vault Collection is a rotating selection of rare and original Vaillancourt Chalkware and Ornaments that represent the heart of our historical archive. Sourced from long-term storage and private collections, these pieces have been chosen for their rarity, craftsmanship, and importance in documenting the evolution of our work. Some pieces here have been gently restored to ensure their preservation, while others are presented exactly as they were created—complete with the unique finishes, markings, and signs of age that reflect the time and technique of their origin. Each one serves as a testament to our commitment to tradition, storytelling, and the enduring spirit of Christmas.

While we regularly rotate selections from the Museum Vault Collection online, we are especially pleased to unveil a newly curated group of pieces available exclusively in-store. Following a recent renovation of our Retail Gallery, this remarkable collection is now prominently displayed, offering an immersive, up-close experience that honors the artistry and history behind each work. Due to the unique and often delicate nature of these items, they are not available for online purchase; however, we warmly invite you to visit us in person to explore the collection firsthand or contact us directly for additional details. This exclusive presentation provides a rare opportunity to encounter some of the most extraordinary examples from our museum vault—pieces that truly must be seen to be appreciated.

Father Christmas with Two Children reimagines the enduring legend of Saint Nicholas as a modern redemption story, capturing not simply a figure of holiday giving, but a deeper message of compassion, protection, and hope. Standing quietly with two children gathered at his side, Father Christmas becomes a symbol of reassurance and restoration, reflecting the original spirit of St. Nicholas, whose legacy was defined by caring for those in need. With its gentle sense of closeness and trust, this piece reminds us that the true heart of Christmas is found in mercy, generosity, and the promise that goodness still appears when it is needed most.

Massachusetts Made Since 1984.

We’re considered one of the last "Made in America" Christmas studios. Our chalkware is still shaped using vintage moulds and hand-painted with the same attention to quality and detail as the fine art on display in museums. Available nationally—from department stores and museum gift shops to small mom and pop shoppes and catalogs—the experience visiting our Sutton, MA studio, gallery, and museum will inspire.

We operate with one goal in mind: starting your family tradition by creating that special gift that will be handed down throughout generations.
