The company was founded in 1986 in Crottendorf in the Erzgebirge mountains by master wood toymaker Ronald Graupner and his wife Kordula. Having grown to over 10 employees, the company has been producing for more than 3 decades their special and colourful pyramids, music boxes, Christmas tree decorations, and other beautiful miniatures. “The production of the small wooden parts is based on a very old technique of the Erzgebirge ore mountains, called hoop turnery. Ronald Graupner, who studied mechanical engineering, has even developed his own custom made machines. Kordula Graupner is responsible for the design and mixing of the colours. After a few more steps, the individual parts are assembled by a steady hand with the help of brushes and tweezers to create the cheerfully glowing products. “The family manufactory Graupner has successfully lead the old Erzgebirge tradition into the future, by producing wooden miniatures with an unmistakable contemporary design and a special style of colour and form. “Only wood from local forests (mainly sycamore, spruce, and pine) is used, which is pre-cut by local sawmills and particularly well dried. Brilliant colours and high craftsmanship complete the valuable raw materials. Graupner only uses colours that are certified for toys and are therefore free of toxins and chemical solvents. The high quality and lightfastness of the colours also ensure that the products still shine just as beautifully after many years as they did at the beginning.” I'm cleaning out my closets of gifts never given, items never used, collected ornaments only stored, clothes never worn, projects never done, etc. If interested, check out my other items.
