Antique German Erzgebirge Putz Wooden Christmas Village Animals, People, Houses Mixed Lot
Charming mixed lot of antique German wooden putz miniatures in the traditional Erzgebirge folk art style. This group features a classic village scene assortment, including hand-painted human figures, animals, buildings, trees, and a street lamp. Figures appear to date to the early 20th centuryThese were typically used as tabletop village scenes, toy village components, or holiday and folk art displays rather than as individual toys. Carving style, scale, paint application, and subject matter all align with authentic Erzgebirge work rather than later mass-produced reproductions.
Includes (approximate):
-
Hand-carved villagers (standing figures and rider)
-
Horses and livestock (cows, pigs, dogs)
-
Trees in multiple forms (turned and carved)
-
Small village buildings
-
Painted street lamp
Condition:
Good antique condition overall. Expected age-related wear throughout, including paint loss, surface scuffing, and minor chips consistent with early wooden folk art. No modern repairs noted. Please review photos closely, as condition varies slightly from piece to piece.
