Manufacture and materials of Ostheimer knights

The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature. Each figure is handcrafted according to a carefully developed design, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. All the paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and free from animal products - ideal for the characteristic Ostheimer design. The transparent, precisely coordinated colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique. Organic oil protects the colors permanently.
