These small angel and miner candle holders, dotted-natural, are lovingly handcrafted by the Eckert folk art workshop.
Angel and miner are the light figures from the Ore Mountains. They are among the most famous and original figures in this region and have a long tradition.
The miner and angel light figures from the Ore Mountains are traditional candle holders that are known for their craftsmanship and symbolic meaning. Both figures are made entirely of natural wood and are characterized by their detailed design.
The angel wears a long, simple dress decorated with a polka dot pattern. This pattern extends across the entire front part of the dress and gives it a subtle but attractive look. The angel’s wings have the same polka dot pattern and therefore harmonize perfectly with the dress. The angel’s head is kept simple, with gentle facial features and red lips. The angel holds a candle holder in each hand, which is shaped like small bowls and offers space for doll candles.
The miner is also designed with great detail and wears a typical costume in simple, natural colors. His upper body is characterized by a striking uniform with decorative buttons, while his head is adorned with a hat with a small pom-pom and a symbol that represents mining work. His facial features are kept simple, similar to the angel, but complemented by a moustache, which gives the miner a friendly expression. The miner also holds a candle holder in each hand.
The figures radiate a simple elegance with their natural wooden look and embody the traditional craftsmanship of the Ore Mountains. They are not only decorative elements, but also a symbol of the history and culture of this region, especially at Christmas time. The combination of the miner, who represents the hard work in mining, and the angel, who is considered a symbol of peace and protection, makes this set a popular collector’s item and a meaningful decorative object.
