The Prices4Antiques office is decorated for Christmas with a distinctively Swedish flair! Take a look around and there are tomtes everywhere- a tomte is a gnome-like mythical creature from Scandinavian folklore. They are believed to live underneath the floorboards of a farmer’s home and to protect the family and the family’s animals from misfortune. The tomte is also the Swedish equivalent to Santa Claus, bringing gifts to children on Christmas Eve.
Our tomtes are engaging in all kinds of winter activies- caroling, skiing, ice skating, and cookie baking.
