I found these in front of a store just outside the town of Laufen, which is about a half hour walk from home. They are the calling card I guess you could say for a local furniture and woodworking shop. I’m not sure if they are for sale, or just for decoration – I had noticed them when we were driving by previously so when my walk took me by the place I stopped to look.

I suppose I could have gone inside to ask, but with no German it might have been a challenge.  Plus, I was a little intimidated by the store. The pieces I could see through the window were obviously high quality, and there wasn’t a price tag in sight. My theory is that if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.

This isn’t the whole collection, but it gives you a taste.
