Hanging Christmas Tree Decorations, Set of 2 by Martina Rudolph

Handmade Hanging Christmas Tree Decorations, Set of 2 by Martina Rudolph: Artfully crafted chip trees from Seiffen

The fine art of chip tree carving

The traditional craft of chip tree carving has a long tradition in the heart of the Erzgebirge, in Seiffen. The process of chip carving is a detailed and precise process, in which filigree, spiral curls are made from simple wooden spindles. Martina Rudolph, a renowned craftswoman from the region, is a master of this technique. Using a chisel, she carefully lifts off shavings, turns the spindle for the next cut and makes sure, that the resulting shavings are the same length and evenly curled.

Perfection in every detail

Making the little trees is an exercise in patience and precision. Each chip is carefully pricked, to form the characteristic curls, that are the hallmark of these works of art. Finishing requires a fine sense of proportion: Rudolph uses a thin metal pin to precisely align each curl. A broken chip means, that the entire tree becomes unsaleable - proof of the strict quality control, that these works of art undergo.

A natural eye-catcher made by hand in the Erzgebirge

The little trees by Martina Rudolph, which serve as Christmas trees - or Christmas tree decorations, are not just decorative objects, but also evidence of Erzgebirge craftsmanship.
