Mueller Kleinkunst was founded by Edmund Oswald Muller in 1899 in Seiffen in the Erzebirge region of Germany, known in English as the Ore Mountains. They made beautiful items of wood. In 1943 his son, Paul took over the company and continued the fine tradition of hand creating beautiful wooden pieces of art and finding world wide recognition. His son, Gunter Mueller took over in l973 and continued the tradition until 2001 when his son, Ringo Mueller took over from him! He continues as owner of Mueller Kleinkunst to this day. Mueller's darling smokers, regal nutcracker and exquisite German candle arches and pyramids are a joy to own and represent a piece of living tradition of the Erzebirge region of Germany.
