Our Workshop

In the North, where old sagas drift on the wind and runes speak of the courage of ages past, we shape memories from wood, stone and metal.

“For courage. For remembrance. For legends that live on.”

At Glanz & Gravur, every piece is made in our small workshop in Alsdorf (NRW, Germany). We are a family business with heart – and a passion for the imagery and sagas of the North.

How we work

Precise laser engraving, finished by hand.

01

Laser-engraved

Our motifs are laser-engraved – hair-fine, permanent and true to detail. The result is line work that renders even the finest runes and picture-stone scenes razor-sharp.

02

Fine materials

We choose our materials with care: teak and native woods, real slate and heavy crystal glass. Each brings its own grain.

03

Handcraft

Our woodwork is finished with loving handcraft – sanded, polished, assembled. No two pieces are exactly alike.

From Picture Stone to Engraving

The Vikings told their sagas in stone: on the Gotlandic picture stones you can see riders, ships, gods and heroes – whole stories in a single image.

That very tradition inspires us. Whether Odin, Yggdrasil or a heroic saga like that of Atli and Gudrún – we translate the old motifs into modern, laser-engraved one-of-a-kind pieces.
