15.75" Hand Carved Wooden Tree

The carving detail on this tree is incredible, you can see every little notch and curve was done by hand rather than stamped out. It's about the size of a forearm, so it makes a perfect centerpiece on our dining table without taking over the whole room. You can tell a lot of care went into it.

This little tree arrived smelling faintly of fresh wood, and the hand-carved branches have such an organic, uneven feel that I keep picking it up just to look at it again. Knowing it came from the Seiffen artisans makes it feel like a real piece of holiday tradition sitting on my mantel.

The carving detail on this is genuinely impressive for the price — you can see the little branch cuts and the wood still smells faintly like fresh pine. It's a bit lighter than I expected so I anchored it with a dab of museum putty, but once it's up it looks like something from an actual German work
