Know before you buy
A Spanbaum, or 'chip tree,' is a traditional German folk art piece created by shaving thin curls of wood from a single block. The artisans use a specialized carving technique to leave the curls attached to the central trunk, creating a delicate, layered appearance.
No. Because each tree is hand-carved by artisans in the Erzgebirge region, every piece features unique variations in the wood grain and the shape of the shaved curls. You can expect slight differences between the three trees in your set.
These ornaments are designed exclusively for indoor use. The natural wood is delicate and should be kept away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent warping or damage.
The set includes a decorative wood chip box, which is the ideal storage solution. Keep them in a cool, dry place inside the box to protect the fragile wood curls from dust and accidental crushing.
No assembly is required. The trees arrive ready to display and are designed to stand upright on any flat, stable surface like a tabletop, mantel, or shelf.
