Garden Gnomes – Group “Card Players”

Group “Card Players” – Handcrafted Gnome Set from Thuringia

Discover the Group “Card Players”, a detailed gnome set from the Philipp Griebel Manufactory, crafted with great dedication to traditional craftsmanship. This unique set consists of four individually designed gnome figures and a mushroom table, depicting a lively card-playing scene. Each gnome has a unique expression and posture, making the scene particularly authentic. Since 1874, the Zwergstatt Gräfenroda has been a symbol of genuine Thuringian craftsmanship and is now the last traditional garden gnome manufactory in the world. The Group “Card Players” is meticulously crafted from high-quality clay raw materials from Germany and fired at 1050°C for maximum durability. Each figure is then carefully hand-painted, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and a unique character. As the last traditional garden gnome manufactory in the world, Zwergstatt Gräfenroda is proud to participate in Expo 2025 in Osaka. This highlights the significance of this long-standing craft and brings a piece of German artisan history to the international stage. Whether as a charming decoration in the garden or a unique centerpiece indoors, this gnome group brings a touch of joy and tradition to any setting. Thanks to its high-quality craftsmanship, the figures are weather-resistant and durable, but not frost-resistant. To ensure longevity, they should be stored in a protected place during the winter. Due to the traditional production process, slight variations in size and painting may occur. This is not a defect but a sign of genuine craftsmanship, making each figure unique.
