About the Item

This stylish folk art hand-carved wooden plate features intricate pyrographic elements—a traditional wood-burning technique used to create decorative patterns. The design centers around two overlapping 8-pointed stars with a flower at the center, resembling a compass rose. The plate is inscribed with a quote from Theodor Fontane (1819–1898): "Wer schaffen will, muss fröhlich sein." (“Whoever wants to create has to be happy.”) This piece is equally striking whether displayed flat or hung on a wall. Its warm hues and organic texture effortlessly blend into various design schemes. About Theodor Fontane A leading 19th-century German realist, Fontane explored social issues such as class divisions and infidelity. His acclaimed works, including Effi Briest, are known for their sharp critiques, vivid dialogue, and strong female characters and remain influential today.
