If you would like to carry these wood collectibles in your shop, contact us for order and price information.

Note: We are closing out our collection of handcrafted animal figures. Quantities are limited.

We have a passion for the traditional wood handicrafts of the Erzgebirge region of Germany. We scour the small villages, always looking for new and unique items. On a recent trip to Germany, we discovered a collection of handcrafted animal figures, including cats, penguins, seagulls, owls, and bears. Some of the wood animal figures come with whimsical Christmas hats that will brighten your home during the holiday season. The cats, penguins, seagulls, and owls are from Drechslerei Torsten Martin, and several of these designs have been awarded the coveted “Tradition and Form” design prize  from the Verband Erzgebirgischer Kunsthandwerker und Spielzeughersteller e.V. The good luck bears are from Günter Reichel Kunstgewerbliche Holzwaren.
