Bring the nostalgic charm of a traditional German Christmas market into your home with this delightful wooden figure, beautifully made in Germany.
As soon as the last chimney in the village is swept, the chimney sweep makes himself comfortable in the warm living room. With his black top hat, black coat, and red buttons, he looks like something out of a storybook, his ladder leaning against his shoulder, his brush at the ready. Every child knows he brings good luck – which is why he's a particularly popular gift at the end of the year. When an incense cone is lit inside, the smoke curls from his mouth as if he's just cleared the last chimney. A lucky charm for Advent and New Year's Eve.
But this lovely Santa has another special feature! He is also a traditional German incense smoker, known as aRäuchermann. Place a suitable incense cone inside the figure, and fragrant smoke gently rises through his mouth, creating the wonderful atmosphere of a European Christmas market. Choose a festive fragrance such as gingerbread, cinnamon or Christmas spice for an especially cosy touch.
Made in Germany by Schulte Kunst, this beautiful wooden figure celebrates the traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail that make German Christmas decorations so treasured. From his tiny gingerbread cookies to the knitted texture of his hat and scarf, every detail adds to his wonderful old-world charm.
Whether displayed amongst your Christmas village, nestled into a festive mantel arrangement or given a special place in your holiday decorating, Gingerbread Santa is a delightful keepsake to bring out and enjoy year after year.
A little piece of German Christmas tradition to treasure for generations.
