Schweizer
Fine
Pewter Ornaments and Figurines
Since
1796, this rich tradition has been kept alive by the
family of Wilhelm Schweizer. Even today they base their
designs on originals often hundreds of years old.Each
piece is truly a handmade item, as every one is cast
individually from molds carefully engraved in slabs
of slate. Each molds "life" is limited to
about one thousand castings after which a new mold has
to be carved to insure the quality and richness of even
the tinniest detail. The accuracy and intricacy of the
finished pieces are testimony of the pewter caster's
art and skill.Selection ranges from Christmas ornaments
to Easter decorations, from standing Folklore, Santa
and Angel Figures to pictures for walls and windows,
all designed with the same loving care and respect for
heritage and tradition. This exclusive Pewter collection
will be increased annually with carefully selected additional
pieces. All pieces are offered painted and unpainted.
