Seiffener Volkskunst Traditional Christmas Incense Smoker - Banker
New to our collection, the Banker Räuchermann brings a touch of sophistication (and maybe a hint of humour!) to your Christmas decor. Dressed in a smart blue suit jacket, grey trousers, and a red tie, this thoughtful figure balances a cigar in one hand, a briefcase in the other, and what appear to be investment certificates tucked under his arm. His gold-rimmed glasses rest low on his nose, and a balding head gives him the air of a seasoned professional. A perfect gift for financial advisors, accountants, or anyone who knows their way around a spreadsheet, this figure adds a refined twist to the classic German smoker.
This charming Räuchermann, or smoker figure, is more than just decorative—it brings the scent and spirit of the holidays into your home. Designed to hold a small incense cone inside, the figure comes to life as fragrant smoke gently curls from its mouth or pipe, creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. These German incense smokers are beloved for their clever construction, delightful personalities, and the sense of warmth they add to Christmas decorating. Whether placed on a mantel, tabletop, or in the centre of an Advent display, a Räuchermann is a joy to watch and a treat to share with family and guests.
Seiffener Volkskunst pieces are handcrafted in the historic toy-making town of Seiffen, nestled in Germany’s Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains)—a region renowned for its rich tradition of wooden folk art. For centuries, artisans here have turned wood into enchanting holiday treasures, from whimsical Räuchermänner to regal Nussknacker and delicate Christmas pyramids. Today, Seiffener Volkskunst continues this proud heritage, creating handmade folk art that celebrates the warmth and craftsmanship of the Erzgebirge. These are not mass-produced decorations—they are heirloom-quality collectibles, treasured for their artistry and authenticity, and make truly unique gifts for the holiday season.
