Paintings::
Made by ourselves, they are mainly oil paintings, but also drawings made of charcoal or other materials. Among them you will find greek landscapes depicted, known and unknown historical corners of this beautiful country, many of them nearby Sparta, with their markings from Antiquity, Byzantium and Modern Times - but also other topics and places. Picturesque, historic corners and ruins, old bridges, small churches, moments of life in the village - these are some of their themes.
Handmade wooden toys:
We make them ourselves in our workshop. They are entirely made by hand. Having 30 years of experience in manufacturing them, working with wood and adoring toys from the past , we create balancers, mills, butterflies, clown musicians, drummers and other figures made of wood and other natural materials (sand, metal, rope,…). These toys are educational and historical, based on antiquity, medieval times, renaissance. Their movement is based on human ingenuity and imagination, out of times in which electricity and plastic were non-existent concepts.
Handmade useful and decorative objects:
In our workshop we also design and make by hand useful and decorative items - mirrors, hangers, stools etc. Ôhese are also environmentally friendly, made of natural materials - mainly wood - and with non-toxic colors. A mirror, a hanger, a box or a child¢s chair - our handmade items are decorative, useful and unique.
