Toplar Hayrack

Toplar Hayrack from Spruce Wood – A Natural Miniature Replica of Slovenian Rural Heritage!

The Toplar hayrack is crafted from naturally dried spruce wood, known for its durability, lightness, and warm appearance. Spruce is an excellent choice for decorative items, as it maintains stability while showcasing the softness of natural wood – a quality highly valued among lovers of traditional craftsmanship. Since the product is uncoated, it retains its authentic connection to nature and offers the option of further customization if desired.

Each hayrack is handmade with precision and attention to detail, giving it unique value and character.

This is a miniature replica of the traditional Slovenian kozolec toplar, a symbol of rural architecture that beautifully complements any home corner or display case.

It is available in two sizes – small and large – allowing you to adapt it to your space or collection. Handmade items like this Toplar bring warmth, nostalgia, and respect for Slovenian cultural heritage.

Authentic Detail for Collectors and Heritage Lovers – A Decorative Piece that Preserves a Slovenian Story!

The kozolec is a distinctive Slovenian wooden structure traditionally used for drying hay and storing agricultural produce. The most recognizable type is the toplar, a double-pitched hayrack with two parallel rows of pillars and a roof, representing a symbol of Slovenian rural architecture.

Our Toplar hayrack is a miniature replica of this unique cultural landmark, intended for display, collecting, and preserving the memory of rural traditions.

It is cherished by lovers of traditional craftsmanship, museums, and exhibitors, and often decorates mountain huts, tourist farms, schools, and home display cabinets. Its symbolic and aesthetic value goes beyond decoration – it is a tribute to Slovenian history and handmade artistry.

Thanks to its authenticity and natural wood construction, it makes a wonderful and respectful gift for anyone who values Slovenian heritage, unique items, and the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

The Toplar is more than just an ornament – it is a small but valuable piece of history that brings warmth, respect for the past, and the charm of wood into any space.

Simple Care for Your Wooden Toplar – Keep Its Natural Beauty and Durability!

The Toplar hayrack is a unique decorative replica that requires basic care to maintain its appearance and longevity. Since it is uncoated, it can be varnished or oiled if desired, which enhances the natural grain of spruce wood and adds protection.

We recommend using cold-pressed linseed oil, which penetrates spruce wood well, protects it, and highlights its natural structure. Tung oil is also an excellent choice for increased resistance to moisture and wear. For additional protection and a natural sheen, you can apply beeswax or carnauba wax. If varnishing, we suggest a clear, water-based varnish suitable for indoor use, which preserves the natural look of the wood.

For regular maintenance, simply wipe it occasionally with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to remove dust and small particles. Avoid soaking in water or exposing it to excessive humidity, as this may affect its shape and durability. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. With proper care, your wooden Toplar – a symbol of Slovenian heritage – will retain its beauty and meaning for years to come.
