Much from the rich
history of typical Seiffen folk craft which has its roots in wooden
toys turned on the lathe, and has stood the test of time over the
generations up to the present day.
Today not so much
toys to play with, but appreciated across all age groups, the
skillful hands of the wood turners and artists, appealing to each
generation in its own way, from the youngster mesmerized by the
little wooden pipe puffing figures ( Smoky Men / Smokers ) to the
avid collector with the appreciation for the work of the Master Craftsman.
The following pages
will illustrated some of the artistic skills of the master craftsmen
and the artistry of their products. We hope you enjoy looking and
reading through our web site and hope too that you will discover a
fondness for this exquisite wood work from the Erzgebirge.
