The fireplace, crafted by Christian Ulbricht, is a small, lovingly designed miniature piece made of wood. It immediately exudes warmth and coziness, perfectly embodying traditional Erzgebirge folk art. The entire ensemble comprises several finely crafted individual pieces that together form a charming little scene. This creates a harmonious overall impression that is both simple and rich in detail.
The fireplace itself is compact and made of smooth wood. The color scheme is deliberately understated, yet highly effective. The sides are a warm, light brown, while the top and base are significantly darker, creating a beautiful contrast. This gives it a modern yet classic feel. The edges are cleanly finished. Everything appears neat, precise, and of very high quality.
Inside the fireplace lies a small pile of logs. These are also finely crafted, made of light and dark wood. This gives them a particularly realistic appearance, despite their small size. They lie loosely together, almost as if they had just been added. This gives the miniature fireplace a lively yet serene appearance.
On the left side of the top of the fireplace is a small candle. Here, too, everything has been kept deliberately simple. It adds a touch of color to the scene and enhances the overall warm impression.
To the right of it lie two small books. Both are made of wood. They are flat, light, and minimalist. Yet, the covers, pages, and spines are clearly visible. The colors are light and soft. The books are stacked on top of each other, creating a sense of tranquility, as if someone had just been reading and briefly set the books aside.
All together, this creates a very charming miniature scene. It has a nostalgic yet timeless feel. The fireplace invites contemplation. The proportions are harmonious. The materials are high-quality. The craftsmanship is precise, clear, and clean. The entire piece conveys a warm, peaceful, and almost fairytale-like atmosphere.

Environmental damage caused by incorrect disposal of batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. You are legally obliged to return old batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can hand in old batteries at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back old batteries, although our obligation to take back is limited to old batteries of the type that we have or have had in our range as new batteries.
