Jan Stephani

Tradition and Innovation:The history of the family business

Since 1935, the production of Erzgebirge folk art articles has been a tradition in the Stephani family. What once began with the production of toys such as tractors and trains, has developed since the 1960s to specialize in smoking men and Easter bunnies. Since Jan Stephani took over the company in 2000, both the work - and the sales rooms have been continuously expanded and modernized.

Nodding animals: A fun for young and old

In addition to the smoking men and Easter bunnies Jan Stephani also has a special attraction in the offer: Nodding animals. Whether dog,cat,elephant or giraffe, these figures consist of several links, which are connected by tightly stretched cords. Pressing the built - in button makes the animals wiggle and provides great fun for both children and collectors.

Particularly well known are the models of night watchmen and gnomes, which are available in various sizes and color variations. Each smoking man is a handmade unique, which represents the long tradition of Erzgebirge craftsmanship.
