The Melchior Three Wise Men smoker by Müller Kleinkunst is an extraordinary innovation from the Ore Mountains, combining traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. This figure is the first hybrid product of the world-famous Ore Mountain woodcraft and therefore enjoys collector value. The smoker and nutcracker are combined in a single figure. Thanks to a sophisticated technical mechanism, they can be used independently or even simultaneously. Around 80 intricate individual parts are carefully assembled by experienced craftsmen at Müller Kleinkunst in Seiffen in approximately 100 steps. Each Melchior is created with great attention to detail and based on decades of experience in traditional woodworking.
The depiction of Melchior impresses with a magnificent orange robe. It is adorned with elaborate gold-colored trim and appliqués. Artful accessories and a majestic crown complete the appearance. Melchior holds an ornately designed incense burner in his left hand. It symbolizes the gift of myrrh, which he gave to the newborn baby Jesus. Myrrh represents Christ’s transience and later sacrifice.
The carefully crafted beard is made of real natural hair. The golden details and hand-painted facial features give this figure an authentic, high-quality appearance. It is unique and of exceptional craftsmanship. With a height of approximately 27 cm and a diameter of 14 cm, the Melchior Three Wise Men smoke cracker is a perfect eye-catcher for festive decorations. It also makes an exclusive gift and a valuable collector’s item. As part of the “Three Wise Men from the East” series, Melchior brings the magic of the Christmas story into every home. He represents craftsmanship that stylishly combines tradition and innovation and has delighted generations.
