Post subject: | Antique German Christmas Erzgebirge Mountainside Village? |
Greetings, I am new to the forum, so please guide me if I have posted this in the wrong place! The attached village scene (double-tier mountainside) stood under my grandfather's Christmas tree when I was a child and, surely, when my mother was a child. It used to be complete and I loved it, but my younger cousins must have really played hard with it when I went to college! As a young woman, I had hoped to restore it, but I can tell now that it is beyond repair. But I would like to know more about its origins and whether it would be possible to find another to replace it. I have looked for years and have only seen one in a New Market, MD, antique shop, at a time when I could not afford the $300 being asked. Where do you suggest that I should look for information on this type of early German house scene? I could find nothing similar on Papa Ted's site. Thank very much and happy 2013!

Vanda, Welcome aboard. Thanks for posting the photos, I'm sorry the village was so vandalized. Now that we've seen it, I know a couple folks who will be keeping an eye out for similar pieces for you. Have a great 2013! Paul |
