Handcrafted Miniatures from the Erzgebirge We now offer two lines of handcrafted miniatures - one from the Drechsel Workshop in the small town of Augustusburg and a new line from Seiffener Volkskunst. Here's what you'll find on this page:
Miniatures from Seiffener Volkskunst - new for 2021! Small but fine
(klein aber fein) is the motto in the Drechsel workshop in the small
town of Augustusburg in the Erzgebirge region of Germany. Their
miniature handcrafted pyramids and arches fit into any handbag, but that
of course is not where they belong. Just like their larger brothers and
sisters, they also appear at Christmas time, and many pyramid designs
are appropriate year-round, and spin whenever they catch a draft of warm
air, such as from a heater, a fan, or a television. These miniature pyramids, each just under 5 inches tall, while not made for candles, do spin when caught in a draft of warm air. Small wooden candles (decorative only!) are on either side of the pyramids (shown in only a few of the photos). The mini-pyramids are made from veneers from chestnut wood, which is neither too soft nor too hard to work with. The base is made from elm, the bow and tree from makore, and the small decorative candles from oak. Click on each image for a larger view.
Miniature Schwibboegen (Arches) These miniature arches, each about 6 inches wide, are made from chestnut wood, which is neither too soft nor too hard to work with. The base is made from elm, the arch from makore, and the small decorative candles from oak. The arches with 3D in the design name have a darker background to give the arch a 3-dimensional effect.

These fine handcrafted designs come in a number of themes, including Christmas, Easter, all-year, and religious designs. Set of 6 handcrafted wood ornaments made from natural wood veneer and with a gold string for hanging.
