Repair of Erzgebirge art at Egermann
Repairing Erzgebirge art is especially worthwhile for older pieces and cherished keepsakes. We handle the entire range of Erzgebirge handicrafts: from miniatures and figurines to candle arches and large, multi-tiered pyramids.
Depending on the condition, we handle cleaning, retouching, and touch-ups; replace damaged parts; or, upon request, repaint the piece based on original color templates. For example, you can have us repair a Christmas pyramid, repair a candle arch, or restore old Erzgebirge figurines.
Preserving the old instead of replacing it
Older pieces, in particular, are part of the Erzgebirge’s cultural heritage and deserve to be preserved. That is why our restoration process focuses on treating the original with respect. We do not remove any original material worth preserving. The goal is to preserve the piece’s original character as much as possible.
