About the Maker

Their Story


Werner Reifentiere keeps alive one of the world’s rarest crafts, Reifendrehen, a centuries-old art from Seiffen, Germany, where spinning rings of Alpine spruce are carved by hand into tiny animals and pyramid chandeliers. Led by Christian Werner and his son Andreas, the family turns wood into small miracles, reminders that patience, faith, and the beauty made by hand never go out of style.

Care Instructions

Cleaning
Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. If needed, gently wipe with a lightly damp cloth.
Drying
Avoid soaking the wood. If the figurine becomes wet, dry it immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
Environment and Storage
Keep your figurines in a stable, moderately humid environment and avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Large humidity or temperature fluctuations can cause the wood to crack or warp.
