Department 56 Christmas In The City – "5th Avenue Salon" (#56.58950) – Amazing Building Condition / Box Water Damage (Retired) 🎄✂️


Bring the upscale style of a metropolitan holiday boutique to your winter village display with the "5th Avenue Salon" from Department 56’s beloved Christmas in the City series. Originally released in 1999, this charming piece features a striking two-toned facade showcasing both the salon and the "Elite Beauty Academy," complete with an ornate golden display window, deep blue double doors, and elegant holiday wreaths.


This piece features an absolutely beautiful main building structure but is offered at a discount due to water damage on the outer packaging and a missing light cord.

• Salon Building Condition: The hand-painted ceramic building itself is in amazing, pristine condition with absolutely no chips, cracks, or past repairs. All delicate exterior details remain entirely intact.

• Box & Packaging: The original illustrated outer sleeve and protective custom styrofoam housing are included. However, the packaging shows clear signs of previous water damage, resulting in staining, scuffs, and warping on the cardboard and styrofoam.

• Storage Odor: Due to past storage conditions, the packaging carries a noticeable basement/garage odor.
